8
ISSUES AND TRENDS
• The Gallery’s enhanced collection displays, exhibitions, publications and marketing
program have continued to result in increases in attendances and visitor enjoyment.
• There has been a steady increase in international and interstate tourists visiting the
Gallery making it one of the State’s major tourist attractions.
• There is growing support for the Gallery both within South Australia and interstate
resulting in the steady increase in gifts of money and works of art.
• The Gallery now operates in an environment of intense competition in the ‘leisure and
entertainment industry’ and is having to compete with many more events to keep and
develop its audience.
• The national and international trend of declining attendances to paid exhibitions
continues, mainly through significant changes in work and leisure patterns.
• The costs of staging exhibitions, including insurance, has increased markedly over
the last five years.
• The Gallery’s unique self-funded exhibition program faces difficulties absent in other
state capitals, including a smaller audience base, lower average income, a diminishing
number of Adelaide-based corporations to provide sponsorship, no Government
funding for exhibitions and fierce competition from other arts, entertainment and
sporting organisations.
• Cultural institutions are becoming increasingly aware that they need to attract
more diverse audiences.
• The community now has greater expectations of state-owned cultural resources such
as the Gallery.
• There is some pressure from the community for the Gallery to remain open every day
of the week as well as to open later on weekends and one evening per week.
• There is demand from other galleries for the Gallery’s travelling exhibitions.
• There is an international demand to borrow the Gallery’s major works for important
overseas exhibitions.
• Declining rates of return have effectively reduced the income from the Gallery’s
Foundation and other investment funds by more than 50% over the last decade or so.
9
• Over the last five years the falling value of the Australian dollar has decreased
opportunities for acquiring major works overseas.
• There is an ever-growing demand for popular and scholarly publications on the
Gallery’s collections and exhibitions.
• The Gallery has a growing reputation as a prestigious art publisher both in Australia
and abroad.
• There is burgeoning demand for the Gallery’s postcards, greeting cards and
reproductions of works in the Gallery's collection.
• There is increasing demand to disseminate information about the collections through
lectures, seminars, special guided tours and the internet.
• The Gallery increasingly relies on funds generated through its commercial activities,
sponsorship and fund-raising activities to support major aspects of its operation.
• The Gallery continues to find it difficult to meet rising salary costs from the
government’s salary allocation and only meets its budget by saving by long delays in
filling staff vacancies.
• The diminishing maintenance grant for the Gallery’s heritage buildings is inadequate
to maintain the Gallery at an acceptable standard.
• There is increasing pressure to reduce the security and cleaning budget.
• Increased emphasis is being placed on risk management and planning contingencies
in South Australian institutions.
• There is increased emphasis on Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare issues and
greater time being expended on staff training in this area.
10

ART GALLERY OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA FOUNDATION
This financial year the Art Gallery, through the Foundation has been endowed with many major donations of
both financial gifts and works of art, combined they total $2.02 million.
The Collectors’ Club for 2002 was again a great success for the Foundation, with the annual dinner being
hosted on 16th August in Gallery one in the MJM Carter Gallery of the historic Elder Wing. Nineteen
members joined at $5,000 each and with additional donations $106,000 was raised. Five important works of
art were acquired for our collection through this initiative.
At the Annual General Meeting of the Foundation on 15 October 2002, Mr Max Carter AO retired from the
position of Chairman after three very successful years in the role. Justice John Mansfield was elected as
Chairman for the Foundation for the ensuing year.
Foundation Chairman, John Mansfield hosted a benefactor’s ‘thank you’ lunch on 5 December 2002. This
small gathering (approx 20 guests) was held for the Foundation’s major benefactors during 2002 and to
thank the former Chairman.
On 15 February 2003 the Foundation hosted a fundraising lecture with international celebrity Sir Roy Strong
attended by an audience of 550 people. Following the lecture a buffet dinner for 300 people was held at the
Gallery. Twenty thousand dollars was raised and the event was also successful in bringing many nonmembers to the lecture, dinner and into the Gallery. In addition to the $20,000 raised, a further $12,000 was
received with in-kind sponsorships.
The Centenary of the Morgan Thomas Bequest was celebrated with a Foundation fundraising dinner and
exhibition launch on 23 May 2003. This special black tie dinner was held in the exhibition space and was
attended by sixty-two guests. Mrs Diana Ramsay AO generously sponsored this celebratory dinner. The
event raised $20,000 for which funds will be put towards the purchase of the rare William Morris
watercolour design for the wallpaper Wreath (in conjunction with the balance of the Morgan Thomas fund
and the Mary Overton gift fund).
In March 2003 the Foundation Executive Officer, Kerry deLorme was also appointed Executive Officer of
the new fundraising initiative Contemporary Collectors.

It has been another very significant year for major acquisitions. The Gallery acquired 313 works, of which
237 were gifts, 74 were purchased and 2 were bequeathed. Of these 227 were European, Asian and
Australian heritage works produced before 1960 and 86 were works produced after 1960. The total value of
gifts and purchases this year was approximately $4,833,311 million.
ACQUISITIONS OF AUSTRALIAN ART
The Gallery’s Australian art collection was greatly strengthened this year. Significant colonial acquisitions
included an engraving after John Eyre, an etching by Benjamin Duterrau, a photograph by J.W. Lindt and an
early Bertram Mackennal bust. South Australian material included an 1849-55 sketchbook donated by
Barbara and Douglas Mullins, and an album of photographs by E.G. Tims and others, donated by Michael
Abbott.
Major acquisitions from the twentieth century included paintings by Clarice Beckett, Stella Bowen, Jeffrey
Smart, Horace Trenerry and Dusan Marek, two major drawings by Tony Tuckson, a drawing by Russell
Drysdale, a woodcut by Thea Proctor, and two photographs by C.P. Mountford. Two sculptures by Marjorie
Fletcher was acquired from the artist’s family.
The decorative arts collection continued to be strengthened in the areas of jewellery, textiles, metalware,
ceramics and particularly furniture and glass. The early South Australian Biedermeier style Barossa Valley
Bench, c1850, a treasured long-term loan to the gallery, was gifted to the collection by Janet & Jack Grace.
Late 1920s Angorichina furniture and contemporary furniture by South Australian born, Enlai Hooi, were
also added to the collection. The Hon. Diana Laidlaw, MLC, gifted an important glass vessel, Aragunu,
2002, by Stephen Procter and Klaus Moje.
Many major contemporary acquisitions were made, including paintings by Robert Rooney and Gordon
Bennett, and significant three dimensional works by Fiona Hall, Sally Smart and Mike Parr, a suite of six
screenprints by Juan Davila, photographs by Patricia Piccinini, Rosemary Laing, Anne Zahalka, Julie Rrap
and Samantha Small, and prints by Torres Strait Islander artists Victor Motlop and Dennis Nona. Other
Aboriginal works were acquired from the Santos Fund for Aboriginal Art including an important bark
painting by John Mawurndjul.
ACQUISITIONS OF EUROPEAN ART
The most outstanding acquisition in European art this year was made possible by funds provided from the
generous bequest of the late Mary Overton. The bequest enabled the Gallery to purchase Bartolomeo
Passerotti’s late Renaissance altarpiece, The Coronation of the Virgin with Saints Luke, Dominic, and John
the Evangelist, c.1580.
The Gallery’s collection of Flemish painting has acquired greater depth with the gift by Miss Dorothy Spry
of Village kermis, c. 1660, a large, festive canvas by Gillis van Tilborgh. A fine neo-classical bust, Portrait
of a woman, c.1840s, by John Gibson and an important sculpture by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (a gift of
William Bowmore), have enhanced the nineteenth century sculpture collection. Contemporary acquisitions
include two etchings by Russian artist Maxim Kantor.
The Gallery’s displays were enhanced by the major long-term loan a copy of the Nuremberg Chronicle from
Carolyn Corkindale. The most remarkable acquisitions of Eureopean decorative arts this year are the
significant Morris & Co. additions. These include a superb Hammersmith Carpet, c.1884, a rare pair of Rose
& lily curtains (designed 1893) and an original design by William Morris for the wallpaper Wreath c.1876.
Several notable items of furniture were acquired, including a 1936 Long chair by the Bauhaus designer and
architect, Marcel Breuer, and two Chairs (2003, designed 1983) by American artist Donald Judd.
21
ACQUISITIONS OF ASIAN ART
The Asian collection has greatly expanded with many major gifts. These include a pair of sculptures Lion
Conquering an Elephant, dated to the ninth century; a very significant and rare twelfth century sculpture of
the Jain saint, Abhinandanatha, the fourth Tirthankara – a gift of Michael and Mary Abbott who have also
generously added to the Gallery’s growing collection of south-east Asian textiles. Also received was an
important gift of forty-three major Japanese prints. A very significant gift of forty-five ancient Islamic
ceramic objects from William Bowmore now forms the fine nucleus of Australia’s first museum collection of
Islamic art.
COLLECTION MAINTENANCE & CONSERVATION
Four European paintings, two European sculptures, 108 Australian paintings, 17 Australian sculptures, 59
decorative arts items and 218 works on paper were treated by Artlab this financial year. A full list appears in
Appendix D.
RE-FRAMING AND PEDESTALS PROGRAM
The Gallery continued an active program of reframing and pedestal construction and improvement. Thirtynine Australian paintings were reframed: seven pedestals for sculptures, thirty-two platforms and several
other pieces of construction undertaken for exhibitions.
COLLECTIONS MANAGEMENT
The Collections Database Project received a significant boost with the appointments of Sue Smith, the new
Collections Database Assistant and David Zeelen, Records and Data Management Coordinator.
Some of the project’s highlights this year included:
re-design of the data editing process.
•
•
addition of 4,287 digital images to the database (total of 14,287).
•
replacement of the Gallery’s EMu database server.
intranet access to the collection’s database for all Gallery staff.
•
•
location details updated for art objects on the EMu database, at Unley store, the Crypt and the
Decorative Arts store.
•
generation of appropriate reports from the EMu database in support of the valuation process, stockchecks and a variety of other administrative tasks.
purchase of a new scanner, printer and special purpose mobile photographic unit.
•
The annual high value items, the Painting collection and the Australian and European Ceramic collection
stock-checks were completed.
The construction of a new crates store at Unley was commenced in order to address storage, access and
Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare issues.
ACCESS TO COLLECTIONS & RESOURCES
For conservation reasons the Gallery’s collection of prints, drawings, watercolours and photographs are
stored in darkness mostly in boxes in the works on paper store and individual works are available for
inspection by appointment.
There was a total of 165 visitors by appointment to the Print Viewing Room, including school students,
tertiary students and individual scholars undertaking research. These were supervised by the Assistant
Curator of Prints, Drawings and Photographs or by the Education Officer. Access to other areas of the
collection was provided by the Registration Section and relevant curators.
OFFSITE STORE
Over the year a total of 3,100 works were moved to and from the offsite store, being required for changes to
the permanent display and for curatorial research, conservation, reframing, outward loans, photography and
public access.
22
REPRODUCTION AND PHOTOGRAPHY
Rights & Reproductions received a total of 150 requests: 106 formal requests from publishers to reproduce
192 images from the Gallery’s collection; twenty-six formal requests from Gallery visitors purchasing fortyone photographic prints of works in the collection; and eighteen requests for 120 slides were purchased for
research and educational purposes.
New acquisitions and other works were photographed for the Gallery Newsletter, exhibition catalogues,
Foundation Annual Report, lectures and for overseas valuations.
Images were provided to Australian and international magazines and newspapers for the promotion of the
Gallery’s collections and exhibition program. Many images were supplied free of charge for curatorial,
educational and promotional purposes as another means of providing access to the Gallery’s collection.
Rights and Reproductions received numerous complimentary copies of these publications which were added
to the Gallery Library collection.
RESEARCH LIBRARY
Twenty-four bays of recycled shelving were added to the Library to accommodate the growing book and
catalogue collection, which this year was enhanced by the archives of the Llewellyn Galleries donated by
Richard and Becky Llewellyn, and the generous bequest of items from the personal library of Shirley
Cameron Wilson. The number of catalogued volumes stands at over 26,000.
Healthy loan statistics and increased reference enquiries, especially from Art History students researching for
their Masters theses, indicate a steady rise in usage of library resources.
This year the Librarian undertook the second 5-year valuation of the library stock and conducted a stocktake.
The Library collection is now valued at $1,482,000.
Library Assistant Veronika Emamy resigned in February after 12 years’ service, and is replaced by Jon
Grotto. The Library continues to benefit from the contribution of its team of volunteers, one of whom – Judy
Gall – was named the Gallery’s Volunteer of the Year.
GRADUATE STUDIES IN ART HISTORY
The collaborative program of Graduate Studies in Art History between the Gallery and Adelaide University
is now in its third year. The program is based in the Department of History in the Faculty of Humanities and
Social Sciences and offers students Professional Certificate, Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma and
Master of Arts qualifications. Dr Catherine Speck is the full-time co-ordinating lecturer. In accordance with
the agreement between the two institutions, a third of the teaching of the following courses was conducted by
the Gallery’s curatorial staff and Director with the Gallery’s collection:

PUBLIC PROGRAMS
This year the Art Gallery presented a program of nine exhibitions, six of which were curated by the Gallery.
All exhibitions were supported by activities and programs which enhanced both the visitor experience and
attendances.
Two Gallery exhibitions toured South Australia and interstate: Love & Death: Art in the Age of Queen
Victoria toured after Sydney to Queensland Art Gallery and Auckland City Art Gallery; The Art of Lionel
Lindsay was developed for regional touring after Carrick Hill, showing at Millicent Art Gallery, Riddoch Art
Gallery, Port Pirie Regional Art Gallery and the Walter Nichols Gallery in Port Lincoln.
Appendix I contains a full list of exhibitions and Public Programs activities.
PUBLICATIONS & INTERPRETATION
The Gallery continued its publishing program this year producing two major books and a variety of smaller
booklets and brochures.
Arid Arcadia: Art of the Flinders Ranges was produced to accompany the exhibition. The most elaborate
book that the Gallery has yet produced this year was undoubtedly Morris & Co. Showcasing the works of art
this lavish edition has been eagerly sought after by our international distributor and is now being sold
worldwide.
More modest publications were produced for the exhibitions Art of Arnhem Land, JOURNEY TO NOW:
John Kaldor Art Projects & Collection and for the Lionel Lindsay exhibition tour.
Details of all publications are listed in Appendix L.
The Gallery again was rewarded for its efforts, receiving two National Print Awards for Morris & Co. and
The Encounter 1802.
Van Gastel Printing continued its generous sponsorship of the Gallery’s newsletter ensuring that the
magazine format was retained.
The Gallery joined the Australian Publishers Association which offers support and many networking
opportunities for publishers.
The Gallery continued its distribution arrangements with Thames & Hudson in Australia and Woodstocker
Books in the United States (who have been bought out by the international distributor Weatherhill).
THE BOOKSHOP
The 2002-2003 financial year provided a number of successes for the Bookshop. The Exhibitions - Stella
Bowen Art Love and War, Morris & Co., SEEING THE CENTRE: the art of Albert Namatjira - all produced
good sales, enabling the Bookshop to meet its target for this financial year.
A special shop was established for the Morris & Co. exhibition with many products sourced overseas as well
as in Australia. The Bookshop’s Annual May Sale was again very successful with the first day achieving
another record in sales.
ART GALLERY WEBSITE
The Gallery’s website provides information about the Gallery’s collections, exhibitions and programs, education
services and membership. It promotes the Gallery’s bookshop, publications, conference and café facilities.
Outstanding high quality virtual tours of recent Gallery exhibitions and on-line education kits are a new feature of
the site this year.
Use of the site has increased this year with recorded ‘hits’ numbering 1,201,990.

EDUCATION SERVICES
The Education Officer, John Neylon was reappointed for a three year DECS secondment contract term of
three years from January 2003. The Education Officer presented a diverse range of schools services with
administrative support provided by Megan Henschke and Yvonne Collison (to January 2003) and Karina
Morgan (appointed Schools Support Officer from January 2003). Demand for school support services came
from all levels (preschool to senior secondary) and across a wide range of learning areas, particularly Visual
Arts and Society and Environment. Over 3,800 students participated in booked–out Gallery based Come Out
03 projects.
TEACHING & GUIDING
The Education Officer presented an extended menu of structured learning sessions for booked school groups
ranging from ‘Meet the Gallery’ sessions to syllabus-specific floor lectures and tutorials related to all areas
of the Gallery’s collection and seven temporary exhibitions. The significant contribution of volunteer
Education Guides ensured that groups with priority needs, particularly primary groups without access to inschool art educators and country schools, had ready access to guided tours.
TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Teacher Briefings were presented for; Stella Bowen: Art, Love and War, Arid Arcadia: Art of the Flinders
Ranges, Art of Arnhem Land, Aboriginal Bark paintings from the 1940s to the 1970s, SEEING THE
CENTRE:The Art of Albert Namatjira and JOURNEY TO NOW John Kaldor Art Projects and Collection. A
total of 510 teachers participated in these Briefings. This program was supplemented by after-hours
(Sundown Sessions) professional development for staff groups and an advisory service for individual
teachers.
CURRICULUM RESOURCES
Education kits were produced for six temporary exhibitions. These hard copy kits were also delivered on-line
through the Art Gallery website. The first in a series of holiday and weekend activity sheets, Look and Learn
adventures for family groups was launched in January. Several Topic Trails were developed in response to
schools’ demand with the Outback Trail and the Water Trail proving very popular.
VISITOR INFORMATION DESK
The sixty-one Information Desk volunteers continued to provide a valuable service to visitors and a reception
service for the Gallery. Four new volunteers received individual training to ensure the continuing high
standard of customer service. Information Desk volunteers were regularly provided with updated
information. There were 22,526 enquiries at the Visitor Information Desk.
TICKET SELLERS
The fifty-one Ticket Seller volunteers continued to provide a high level of service to Gallery visitors
attending exhibitions. Eighteen new volunteers received individual training to maintain the provision of
ticket sellers.
GALLERY GUIDES
In 2002-2003, the volunteer Gallery Guides conducted 1108 tours for 11,018 patrons. General tours of the
Gallery were offered twice daily. Exhibition tours for MORRIS & Co and SEEING THE CENTRE: The art of
Albert Namatjira were offered 4 times per week and proved very popular.
The Guides also led 17 casual tours (71 patrons) and 35 specially booked groups (594 patrons).
The Guides continued to conduct introductory tours for new members of the Friends and participated in
Family Day. The popularity of Eye Spy Club continued with demand for the second tour per month
exceeding expectations.
The Guides provided additional services in supporting a variety of after-hours functions whilst additionally
facilitating a high quality training program consisting of curatorial talks, presentations by guest speakers, gallery
visits, workshops and attendance at the national AAGGO conference.
At the end of June 2003 there were fifty-five active Gallery Guides.

APPENDIX A
CHARTER AND GOALS OF THE
ART GALLERY OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA
To enable the South Australian and the wider community to experience directly high-quality
works of visual art; to ensure that the experience is enlivening and enriching; and to
demonstrate that a significant expression of South Australian life can be experienced in South
Australian works of art.
GOALS
COLLECTION
The Gallery should identify and hold historically important works of art of aesthetic excellence
and of regional significance in accordance with the Gallery's collections policies. Works on
loan to the Gallery's collections should also be subject to those policies.
PRESERVATION
The Gallery should ensure the preservation and conservation of its collections by maintaining
them in standard environmentally controlled conditions, by handling them safely and by
ensuring their security at all times. The Gallery should stabilise or restore deteriorating or
damaged works in its collections. Works temporarily in the Gallery's custody should receive
the same environmental safeguards, safe handling and security as works in the Gallery's
collections.
DOCUMENTATION
The Gallery should fully document its collections with a central catalogue system that includes
complete visual as well as written records. Undocumented works temporarily in the Gallery's
custody should also receive written and visual documentation.
RESEARCH
The Gallery should research and evaluate its collections (and related material) so that the
collections' display, interpretation and promotion are carried out with integrity. The Gallery
should make its collections and associated documentation accessible to others for the purposes
of research.
26
DISPLAY
The Gallery should display its collections and program its temporary exhibitions in ways which
enhance appreciation of the collections; displays should provide pleasure and education by
being visually pleasing as well as appropriate for the particular public for whom they are
intended; displays should be devised for the special interests of the specialist visual arts
community as well as for the general public. Temporary exhibitions should be programmed to
provide displays of works of art belonging to categories poorly represented in South Australia's
collections. The Gallery should provide accurate and intelligible labels for works on display.
Within normal security and conservation constraints, and provided there is clear public benefit,
the Gallery should make works from its collections available for display elsewhere.
INTERPRETATION
The Gallery should provide easily accessible interpretative information about the collection
displays and the temporary exhibitions in the form of signs and wall texts as well as public
programs of publications, films, lectures, seminars and the services of Education Officers,
Gallery Guides and other communicators. Interpretative services should be provided at various
levels relevant to the Gallery’s various publics, from the specialist visual arts community to the
least informed general public.
PROMOTION
The Gallery should promote its collections and temporary exhibitions, should promote in the
community an awareness of art museum functions and of what can be gained from works of
art, and should evaluate and act on the public's needs and responses to the Gallery's activities.
ADVICE
The Gallery should responsibly exercise its legislative function of advising the South
Australian Government on the allocation of South Australian resources to works of art, art
collections, art museums and art associations.
REVIEW
The Gallery should frequently evaluate and review its goals and tasks and the effectiveness of
their implementation.
