Federation University Australia Art Collection

There is a searchable index and brief description of all works held in the Federation University of Australia Art Collection.
The University seeks to develop and maintain a permanent collection of high quality works of visual art for the cultural enrichment and research purposes of its student body, staff and wider community. The art collection consists largely of works by Australian artists, the earliest of which is a work by Posenby Carew-Smith dated 1879. An interesting early donation is Waterloo Claim. This work depicts the Ballarat goldfield at the location on which the Ballarat School of Mines (SMB) was built. Works from the 1920s and 1930s showcase students from the Ballarat Technical Art School, but the greatest period of art collection occurred at the Ballarat Teachers' College during the 1950s and 1960s.
The Art Collection at the Ballarat Teachers' College had a modest beginning in 1951 when two Lionel Lindsay woodcuts were purchased for the College (then located at Dana Street). These were followed with works by Max Middleton and Vogel; and in 1954 works by Kenneth Jack and Tate Adams were purchased. When the College moved to the new Gillies Street building in 1958 the collection grew steadily with acquisitions by Rupert Bunny, Peter Clarke, Max Coward, Arch Cuthbertson, William Frater, James Gleeson, Pro Hart, George Lambert, Murray Griffen, David Newbury, and many others. Leonard French was commissioned to paint the mural Tapestry in 1959. Another mural, Symbols of Life by George Johnson, was commissioned in 1965. These two works, along with Inge King's welded steel sculpture Organic Form, was purchased with funds raised by student and staff contributions.
Following the merger with the tertiary division of the School of Mines to form the Ballarat Institute of Tertiary Education, then the Ballarat College of Advanced Education, Ballarat University College and finally the University of Ballarat, these works have been augmented with various contemporary prints, ceramics, graphics, paintings and sculptures  by Australian artists, including work by graduates, postgraduates and staff of the University, such as Claire Blake, Peter Blizzard, Bridget Bodenham, Loris Button, Maryanne Coutts, Neville French, Victor Greenhalgh, Nornie Gude, Gwen Hansen-Piggott, Ian Hemingway, Duncan Lannan, Ros Lawson, Geoff Mainwaring, David Noonan, Peter Pilven, Iain Reid, Ewan Ross, Anne Saunders, Wes Walters, Marcus Wills, Carole Wilson and Doug Wright.

澳大利亚联邦大学艺术收藏（Federation University of Australia Art Collection）收录了所有藏品的可检索索引及简要描述。

该大学旨在构建并维护一批高品质视觉艺术永久藏品，以丰富学生、教职工及更广泛社区的文化生活并服务于研究需求。该艺术收藏以澳大利亚艺术家作品为主，其中年代最早的藏品为波森比·卡鲁-史密斯（Posenby Carew-Smith）于1879年创作的作品。早期捐赠中一件颇具意义的藏品为《Waterloo Claim》。该作品描绘了巴拉瑞特金矿（Ballarat Goldfield）的一处地点，巴拉瑞特矿业学校（Ballarat School of Mines，简称SMB）即建于此处。20世纪20至30年代的藏品集中展示了巴拉瑞特技术艺术学校（Ballarat Technical Art School）学生的作品，而藏品积累最活跃的时期则是20世纪50至60年代的巴拉瑞特师范学院（Ballarat Teachers' College）阶段。

巴拉瑞特师范学院的艺术收藏始于1951年，当时学院（彼时位于达纳街）购入了莱昂内尔·林赛（Lionel Lindsay）的两幅木刻作品。此后又陆续添购了马克斯·米德尔顿（Max Middleton）与沃格尔（Vogel）的作品；1954年，学院购入了肯尼斯·杰克（Kenneth Jack）与泰特·亚当斯（Tate Adams）的作品。1958年学院迁至吉利斯街新址后，藏品规模稳步扩大，新增藏品包括鲁珀特·邦尼（Rupert Bunny）、彼得·克拉克（Peter Clarke）、马克斯·考尔德（Max Coward）、阿奇·卡思伯特森（Arch Cuthbertson）、威廉·弗雷泽（William Frater）、詹姆斯·格里森（James Gleeson）、普罗·哈特（Pro Hart）、乔治·兰伯特（George Lambert）、默里·格里芬（Murray Griffen）、大卫·纽伯里（David Newbury）等多位艺术家的作品。

1959年，学院委托伦纳德·弗伦奇（Leonard French）创作壁画《Tapestry》。1965年，学院又委托乔治·约翰逊（George Johnson）创作另一幅壁画《Symbols of Life》。这两幅作品及英格·金（Inge King）的焊接钢雕塑《Organic Form》均由师生捐款筹集资金购得。

在与矿业学校高等教育部门合并组建巴拉瑞特高等教育学院（Ballarat Institute of Tertiary Education），随后依次更名为巴拉瑞特高等教育学院（Ballarat College of Advanced Education）、巴拉瑞特大学学院（Ballarat University College）并最终定名为巴拉瑞特大学（University of Ballarat）后，这批藏品持续扩充，新增了各类当代版画、陶瓷、平面艺术、绘画及雕塑作品，均出自澳大利亚艺术家之手，其中包括该校毕业生、研究生及教职工的作品，如克莱尔·布莱克（Claire Blake）、彼得·布利扎德（Peter Blizzard）、布里奇特·博登汉姆（Bridget Bodenham）、洛里斯·巴顿（Loris Button）、玛丽安·库茨（Maryanne Coutts）、内维尔·弗伦奇（Neville French）、维克多·格林哈尔（Victor Greenhalgh）、诺尼·古德（Nornie Gude）、格温·汉森-皮戈特（Gwen Hansen-Piggott）、伊恩·海明威（Ian Hemingway）、邓肯·兰南（Duncan Lannan）、罗斯·劳森（Ros Lawson）、杰夫·梅因沃林（Geoff Mainwaring）、大卫·努南（David Noonan）、彼得·皮尔文（Peter Pilven）、伊恩·里德（Iain Reid）、伊万·罗斯（Ewan Ross）、安妮·桑德斯（Anne Saunders）、韦斯·沃尔特斯（Wes Walters）、马库斯·威尔斯（Marcus Wills）、卡罗尔·威尔森（Carole Wilson）及道格·赖特（Doug Wright）等。
