‘Kiffy Rubbo: curating the 1970s’ book launch

Kiffy Rubbo was a dynamic and unique force in Australian art in the 1970s.

Featuring contributions by significant curators, artists, and critics, and edited by Helen Hughes and Janine Burke, Kiffy Rubbo: curating the 1970s explores for the first time Rubbo’s enduring legacy — and the immense role that she played in nurturing Australian visual-art culture at such a crucial time in its history.

Below are some pictures from the launch at Readings bookstore in Carlton on 24 November.
