In Fond MemoryThe Barbara Tucker Gift

On 16 May 2015 Heide Museum of Modern Art sadly lost one of its most treasured friends and supporters, Barbara Tucker. Barbara had a long association with Heide, initially as a personal acquaintance of John and Sunday Reed with her late husband, artist Albert Tucker, then during the evolution of the museum as Heide Fellow (2000), Life Benefactor (2004) and Co-Patron (2005). This selected exhibition commemorates Barbara’s extraordinary gift to Heide of more than 200 important artworks by Albert and other acclaimed artists of his generation, including Arthur Boyd, Joy Hester, Sidney Nolan and Danila Vassilieff.
