Hedger Collection

Some of the Group were able to spend an afternoon at Michael Hedger’s city apartment, talking with Michael over his accumulated eclectic collection over his years with highlights including 19th Century Thai Buddhas through to his contemporary vent from artists such as Dale Frank, Peter Tilley and John Nixon. Work were mostly gifts from the artist themselves to the academic who has enjoyed a life working inside of the industry as the Director of Manly Art Gallery and Museum, with previous incarnations as Director of the Campbelltown Arts Centre, Deputy Director ofThe British Council, Australia, Education Officer at the Newcastle Region Art and, art critic forThe Newcastle Herald.

The afternoon was far too short and I am sure many more a tale could have been told about each and every piece of his fancinating art collection.
