The Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) has launched a new exhibition featuring the return of iconic WA paintings, as reported by Malcolm Quekett in The West Australian on December 12, 2025. The show brings back significant works from the state's collection, highlighting AGWA's ongoing commitment to showcasing Western Australian art.
This exhibition matters because it reaffirms the cultural importance of Western Australian art heritage, drawing attention to AGWA's role in preserving and presenting regional works. The return of these iconic paintings offers both local audiences and visitors a renewed opportunity to engage with the state's artistic legacy, reinforcing the gallery's position as a key cultural institution in Perth.
