Gifted: The Kohane and Moore donations of Australian studio ceramics

15 July—22 October 2017

Gifted: The Kohane and Moore donations of Australian studio ceramics showcased two recent major gifts to the Castlemaine Art Museum collection.

Generously donated through the Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts Program, these gifts highlight the vital role that private donors have in supporting and building a significant collection. These works, spanning ceramic art in Australia from the mid-20th century to today, significantly augment CAM’s collection of Australian studio pottery.

Castlemaine Art Museum thanks the Kohane and Moore families for their extraordinary generosity.
