Design Tasmania Wood Collection: The First 10 Years
Design Tasmania Wood Collection: The First 10 Years presents works acquired in the early years of what is now an extensive collection of over 80 pieces, the largest public collection of contemporary wood design in Australia. Design Tasmania was founded in 1976 by Gary Ogle Cleveland AM and Pat Cleveland, envisaged by Gary as the heart-centre of design for Tasmania. In 1991 Gary established the Design Tasmania Wood Collection, acquiring the first 6 works from a Grand Exhibition held at Hobart’s City Hall. Every two years the Grand Exhibition offered Tasmanian designers and makers the opportunity to be selected for inclusion. Exhibitions of works in this collection have toured from Launceston and Hobart to Hawaii, Beijing to New York, Parliament House to Germany, Sweden, Finland and Japan.
