Robin

As promised, instalment number two on gallery owner and director 
Robin Gibson...

A David Eastwood interior with works by Brett Whiteley, Gina Bruce and William Scott. In the top centre of the photo is a hand coloured lithograph by John Rae, New South Wales' first Commissioner for Railways. John Rae built the house which is now Robin's home and gallery in the 1850s
 A Lawrence Daws poinciana painting in front of a much larger work from the artist's iconic glasshouse mountain series gives us an indication of Robin's admiration of his work. Robin has represented Daws for as long as he's had his own gallery which he opened in 1976. The sandy coloured marble & limestone sculpture is by Joel Elenberg who Robin also represented, and the portrait is by Catherine Fox, part of the current gallery stable. The wall work on the right is by John Coburn




Hugh Ramsay painting, with ceramic pieces by Sandra Taylor and Frank Robin
