In order to get more accurate results, our search has the following Google-Type search functionality:
If you use '+' in front of a word, then that word will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry +Potter will return results with the word 'Potter'.
If you use '-' in front of a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry NOT Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
Placing '""' around words will perform a phrase search. The search results will contain those words in that order.
ex: "Harry Potter" will return any results with 'Harry Potter' in them, but not 'Potter Harry'.
Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.
View the extraordinary richness of the Art Gallery of South Australia in a single volume, 500. A landmark, legacy publication that celebrates 500 key works of art in the state's collection, made possible through the generosity of M.J.M Carter AO.
The publication highlights a selected glimpse of the Art Gallery's remarkable collection, arranged broadly within three groupings - Australian, Asian and International art - and spans the Gallery's seven curatorial areas of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art; Asian Art; Australian Art; Contemporary Art; Decorative Arts and Design; International Art; and Prints, Drawings and Photographs. The five hundred works of art are presented in reverse chronology - time travelling from the present to the past. This approach brings to light the dynamic embrace of divergent artforms within the collection, an embrace that has existed since its inception. Importantly, the works of art have been carefully chosen by AGSA curators for their quality, relevance and ability to act as touchstones to myriad ideas.
Twenty-two writers have contributed 500 texts, which describe major works of art in the Gallery's collection. Each page includes an illustration and an accompanying text. Director Rhana Devenport has written an excellent introduction to the book and a chronology is also included.
