The John Norman Mann Bequest

Geelong Gallery has benefitted greatly from the generosity of numerous donors throughout its 125-year collecting history. This exhibition celebrates the visionary bequest of Gallery member John Norman Mann that, since 2018, has supported the acquisition of more than forty works by twenty-eight leading Australian artists. In line with the donor’s wishes, the John Norman Mann Bequest has been directed to contemporary art, with a particular focus on First Nations practices and works by non-Indigenous artists inspired by the natural world.
