Celebrating the release of the NGV’s latest book, Observations: Dress in Art & Design History, NGV Senior Curator Dr Ted Gott and NGV Curator Danielle Whitfield take NGV Members on an exclusive after-hours tour of the gallery to introduce a selection of artists and designers featured in the publication.
Observations: Dress in Art & Design History is the third volume in NGV’s Observations series. Writers, scholars and curators from around the world explore over 400 years of fashion history across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas in a series of edited transcripts following the 2024 online talks series of the same name.
Starting with a welcome in the Members Lounge, Members will have the opportunity to see some of the internationally significant paintings and fashion pieces examined in the publication up close. You will also receive a copy of the publication, to be collected on the night.
