- Summary:
-
"The story of the conception of the National Gallery of Australia building - its design, construction and controversial aftermath - has all the qualities of a Promethean struggle. Planned in the open-minded 1970s but birthed in the more conventional 1980s, the National Gallery building has not always been understood or embraced. Forty years since the opening of the National Gallery on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin, it's time to recognise the building's ambition, beauty, and as Philip Goad writes, 'dare to uncover its bones, revel in its concrete presence and retrieve its vision.'" -- Back cover.
