PRESIDENT’S FOREWORD<br />
As with previous years, this has been a demanding but successful one for the<br />
Art Gallery. During the year, we were active in fundraising and one <strong>of</strong> the major<br />
initiatives in this regard celebrates the past by taking a step into the future.<br />
David Gonski, Dorothy & Fred Street, Bob Carr<br />
2<br />
This is the formation <strong>of</strong> the Centenary Fund to<br />
commemorate 1<strong>00</strong> years <strong>of</strong> Australian Federation in 2<strong>00</strong>1<br />
and a century since the completion <strong>of</strong> the original galleries<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Art Gallery <strong>of</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>South</strong> <strong>Wales</strong>. The Centenary<br />
Fund will raise money for building projects and aims to<br />
recruit 1<strong>00</strong> patrons, each <strong>of</strong> whom pledges $1<strong>00</strong>,<strong>00</strong>0 over<br />
a designated period <strong>of</strong> time. It was launched in February<br />
2<strong>00</strong>0 and had 21 patrons signed up by the end <strong>of</strong> the<br />
financial year.<br />
The first project to be underwritten by the Fund is a<br />
new 1<strong>00</strong> seat auditorium, which will be completed in<br />
2<strong>00</strong>1. It replaces the small auditorium which had to be<br />
demolished to make way for the expanded Gallery Shop<br />
this year. The relocation <strong>of</strong> the Shop enabled the creation<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Dorothy Street Galleries <strong>of</strong> Twentieth Century<br />
Australian Art, which give a fresh and exciting focus to<br />
that area <strong>of</strong> the collection.<br />
The President’s Council has continued to provide<br />
invaluable help in many aspects <strong>of</strong> the Art Gallery’s life.<br />
Primarily, the President’s Council has assisted in funding<br />
part <strong>of</strong> our exhibition programme and also in helping us<br />
to find new ways in which to fundraise. Membership <strong>of</strong><br />
the President’s Council was increased during the year.<br />
I welcome the five new Council members: Ken Borda,<br />
Chief Executive Officer, Deutsche Bank AG; Peter Ivany,<br />
Ivany Investment Group; Daniel Gauchat, Vice-President<br />
Korn/Ferry; Fred Hilmer, Chief Executive Officer, John<br />
Fairfax Holdings Limited, and Angela Clark, Managing<br />
Director, JCDecaux Australia.

During the year, Government funding <strong>of</strong> $13.5<br />
million for the next major addition to the building - a<br />
new Asian gallery - was approved. We are very thankful<br />
to the <strong>New</strong> <strong>South</strong> <strong>Wales</strong> Government for this. The<br />
construction to be paid for from these funds is expected<br />
to commence during next calendar year and will greatly<br />
improve not only the Asian gallery space but also a<br />
number <strong>of</strong> other key areas <strong>of</strong> the building.<br />
I take this opportunity <strong>of</strong> thanking all Trust<br />
members personally for their assistance during the year.<br />
In particular, Kim Santow, who is leaving the Board <strong>of</strong><br />
Trustees after nine years <strong>of</strong> very active participation and<br />
many good ideas. We are sorry to lose Kim but delighted<br />
that the Gallery’s relationship with him will continue<br />
through his membership <strong>of</strong> the VisAsia Board. Pierce<br />
Cody has replaced Kim Santow on the Board <strong>of</strong> Trustees.<br />
We welcome Pierce and look forward to working with him.<br />
My thanks also go to everyone who has served on<br />
the committees <strong>of</strong> the Trust during the year, especially to<br />
Greg Daniel and Bruce Cutler, both members <strong>of</strong> the<br />
President’s Council. Thanks also to all the people who<br />
work in the Society and the Foundation and to our<br />
volunteer guides. These people are <strong>of</strong>ten the unsung, front<br />
row heroes who most certainly deserve our thanks and<br />
praise.<br />
Above all, I thank our truly dedicated staff. We have<br />
been successful this year in exhibitions, in establishing the<br />
new Shop, in fundraising - to name but a few<br />
achievements – and this undoubtedly is due to a staff that<br />
is motivated and successful at what they do.<br />

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT<br />
In a year <strong>of</strong> relentless activity and unsurpassed delights perhaps none has left a<br />
more certain and erudite mark on the progress <strong>of</strong> civilization and the cause <strong>of</strong> art<br />
in this country than the engagement <strong>of</strong> Roy and HG as judges <strong>of</strong> the one-<strong>of</strong>f<br />
Sporting Archie.<br />
Roy Slaven, Lewis Miller, HG Nelson<br />
4<br />
It was, <strong>of</strong> course, a process <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>ound enlightenment<br />
in which those two great connoisseurs learned much about<br />
sport and I, their colleague judge, learned much about art.<br />
I recall just some <strong>of</strong> those richly rewarding moments <strong>of</strong><br />
revelation which occurred during that tense and dramafilled<br />
week when the three <strong>of</strong> us judged this unique –<br />
thank<strong>full</strong>y – award: that paintings should, if they are to<br />
be properly judged, be dry; that the portraits should bear<br />
some resemblance to the subject – an innovative notion I<br />
thought; that Adam Cullen – who incidentally won the<br />
Archibald prize with his portrait <strong>of</strong> an endearingly spikey<br />
David Wenham – probably painted his sporting entry <strong>of</strong><br />
Mark Occolupo with his own vomit and that it was,<br />
therefore, in the eyes <strong>of</strong> my sensitive colleagues, ineligible<br />
on technical grounds; that a somewhat tactile picture <strong>of</strong> a<br />
cricketer called Mr.Taylor was evidently painted shortly<br />
after the subject had been struck firmly in the face by a<br />
rather forceful delivery and that the painting was,<br />
therefore, best viewed at a distance <strong>of</strong> 22 yards; that a<br />
slightly tendentious painting <strong>of</strong> the famous surfer, Mr.<br />
Carroll, set against a background <strong>of</strong> a breaking wave, was<br />
highly symbolic in suggesting that the subject was,<br />
apparently, about to experience a moment <strong>of</strong> ‘vision’; and<br />
that the eventual winner <strong>of</strong> this deeply moving contest<br />
was in fact a very good painting <strong>of</strong> a pair <strong>of</strong> trousers and<br />
that HG, who likes to be challenged – physically - in<br />
matters <strong>of</strong> art was very much <strong>of</strong> the view that the subject,<br />
the precipitate Mr. Ron Barassi, was about to leap <strong>of</strong>f the

canvas and punch him on the nose. A good omen for a<br />
winning portrait painting we all felt.<br />
In the meantime the new format for the presentation<br />
<strong>of</strong> our Annual Report permits this review to consider less<br />
the detail and more the principles and momentums that<br />
determine the Gallery’s progress. However, the details and<br />
activities <strong>of</strong> the Gallery in the 1999-2<strong>00</strong>0 year may be<br />
summarised in the achievement <strong>of</strong> staging some forty<br />
exhibitions all but three <strong>of</strong> which were curated and<br />
organised within the Gallery; in purchasing $3.6 million<br />
worth <strong>of</strong> works <strong>of</strong> art without a cent <strong>of</strong> Government<br />
funding for acquisitions and receiving through gifts<br />
further works <strong>of</strong> art to the value <strong>of</strong> $2 million; publishing<br />
ten major catalogues among which were the very<br />
successful and substantial Michelangelo to Matisse:<br />
Drawing the figure and Jeffrey Smart books; delivering<br />
over 150 public lectures in addition to a non-stop range<br />
<strong>of</strong> public and family programmes; hosting over 260<br />
evening events; achieving a record $4 million turnover in<br />
the Gallery shop <strong>of</strong> which $1.2 million was in sale <strong>of</strong> Art<br />
Gallery publications; lending 290 works <strong>of</strong> art to<br />
exhibitions throughout Australia and around the world;<br />
substantially enhancing the building with the opening <strong>of</strong><br />
the Dorothy Street Galleries <strong>of</strong> Twentieth Century<br />
Australian Art and the new Gallery shop; expanding our<br />
conservation activities through private support and,<br />
finally, once again sustaining a membership <strong>of</strong> the Art<br />
Gallery Society in excess <strong>of</strong> 30,<strong>00</strong>0 members.<br />
The challenges, though, remain much the same and<br />
fundamentally revolve around maintaining such levels <strong>of</strong><br />
activity without prejudice to the content and quality <strong>of</strong><br />
the Art Gallery’s activities. The political and economic<br />
climate in which we now operate is very different from as<br />
recently as 15 or 20 years ago when art museums such as<br />
this were naturally assumed to be wholly government<br />
responsibilities and we relied upon government for the<br />
vast majority <strong>of</strong> our capital and recurrent funding. Our<br />
situation, <strong>of</strong> ever-increasing financial self-reliance, is<br />
paralleled in the experiences <strong>of</strong> other State art galleries.<br />
However, there are substantial levels <strong>of</strong> government<br />
investment in permanent resources and we are only too<br />
aware <strong>of</strong> the commitments <strong>of</strong> around $1<strong>00</strong> million plus to<br />
the National Gallery <strong>of</strong> Victoria for the refurbishment <strong>of</strong><br />
the St. Kilda Road premises, <strong>of</strong> the $1<strong>00</strong> million for the<br />
Queensland Gallery to extend its building facilities and<br />
the $60 million for the National Gallery. So far as this<br />
Gallery is concerned I am delighted to report that the<br />
government will be providing the funds for the next stage<br />
<strong>of</strong> the development <strong>of</strong> this building which will include the<br />
construction <strong>of</strong> a new conservation centre, an expansive<br />
new upper level gallery, a second gallery for Asian art and<br />
a relocated restaurant, all for a more modest $15 million.<br />
Expenditure on such infrastructure and permanent<br />
facilities such as buildings is, as these figures demonstrate,<br />
as substantial as it is welcome, but as we all know the<br />
recurrent funding to ensure the viability and growth <strong>of</strong><br />

the intelligence <strong>of</strong> the institution and, ultimately, its value<br />
to the community, is regrettably slow to follow. The<br />
strains that are imposed on an institution such as this, in<br />
fulfilling an ever-expanding public role with a very public<br />
responsibility and expectation to maintain the highest<br />
standards <strong>of</strong> stewardship <strong>of</strong> high value and sometimes<br />
vulnerable assets, are becoming ever more apparent as the<br />
effective value <strong>of</strong> our recurrent funding budget allocation<br />
seems to, gradually but irrevocably, reduce.<br />
Art museums are most certainly not only about<br />
packaging, about buildings and the most visible <strong>of</strong> public<br />
services, they are to an equal if not greater degree about<br />
scholarship, care and conservation, learning, education<br />
and all the less obvious and superficially visible activities<br />
without which the viability and value to the community<br />
<strong>of</strong> that expensive building and its expensive contents<br />
would be prejudiced. It is, to my mind, mildly<br />
preposterous that it is easier to attract government<br />
funding for a new building than it is for a new picture, or<br />
a new publication, or even for such a fundamental<br />
responsibility as a new conservation programme. It is <strong>full</strong>y<br />
understandable that government priorities should change<br />
to better reflect perceived public sentiment, but<br />
institutions such as ours would find their long-term<br />
responsibilities and roles at risk if we were to be overly<br />
subject to the, <strong>of</strong>ten <strong>of</strong> necessity, short-term obligations <strong>of</strong><br />
government and transitory public mood. Clearly our art<br />
museums are no longer the passive and somnolent<br />
institutions they once were for we energetically pursue our<br />
present and potential audiences but, perhaps strangely, it<br />
6<br />
is a fact that our responsibilities have not changed a jot<br />
and we must not be seduced away from those essential<br />
tasks by transient expediencies and modish fads. All the<br />
things that we do in the realms <strong>of</strong> enhanced services to<br />
the community, such as the variety and quality <strong>of</strong> the<br />
exhibitions, information access, advisory services and<br />
education programmes, stem from the quality and<br />
credibility <strong>of</strong> our most fundamental responsibilities to<br />
collect, care for, research, interpret and display our own<br />
and loaned collections <strong>of</strong> works <strong>of</strong> art.<br />
In viewing our priorities for the forthcoming year<br />
and beyond those fundamental responsibilities remain the<br />
determining factor. Above all we harbour our annual<br />
ambition to enhance the collections and presentations,<br />
whether <strong>of</strong> the permanent displays or exhibitions, to<br />
continue to broaden our audiences through information<br />
access, and to generally enhance the experience <strong>of</strong> visiting<br />
the Art Gallery. Our own priorities <strong>of</strong> course also evolve<br />
and change with the passage <strong>of</strong> time and the fulfilment <strong>of</strong><br />
projects. The 2<strong>00</strong>0-2<strong>00</strong>1 year will see a concentration on<br />
a number <strong>of</strong> particular projects, paramount <strong>of</strong> which is<br />
the construction <strong>of</strong> a new 1<strong>00</strong>-seat theatre to replace the<br />
‘theatrette’ that was displaced by the development <strong>of</strong> the<br />
new Gallery shop. The Art Gallery’s Asian ambitions will<br />
also be the focus <strong>of</strong> much attention as we finalise the<br />
development <strong>of</strong> the detailed plans for the construction <strong>of</strong><br />
a second Asian gallery, work on which we plan to<br />
commence in the second half <strong>of</strong> the year 2<strong>00</strong>1. Another<br />
aspect <strong>of</strong> our Asian plans is the launch, early in 2<strong>00</strong>1, <strong>of</strong><br />
an entity called VisAsia, an initiative which will bring

Art Gallery <strong>of</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>South</strong> <strong>Wales</strong> Foundation purchase 2<strong>00</strong>0<br />
together a number <strong>of</strong> partner institutions in Australia and<br />
in Asia to co-operate on a whole range <strong>of</strong> undertakings<br />
such as exhibitions, research, staff development and<br />
exchanges, education services and enhancing public<br />
interest in and appreciation <strong>of</strong> Asian art. Our Art Gallery,<br />
with its Asian art collections, curatorial strengths and<br />
scholarship, public programming expertise and<br />
organisational and museum management experience,<br />
possesses a unique combination <strong>of</strong> resources which can be<br />
harnessed to develop our engagement with the Asian<br />
region. Another priority for us in the forthcoming year is<br />
to progress the digitisation <strong>of</strong> the collection project which<br />
will, in due course, enable easier and more widespread<br />
public access to the collections. All these projects are<br />
essentially evolutionary, stemming from and out <strong>of</strong> the<br />
building, the collections and the resourceful imaginations<br />
<strong>of</strong> the staff.<br />
There is a reasonably understandable assumption<br />
that the public image <strong>of</strong> an institution such as the Art<br />
Gallery <strong>of</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>South</strong> <strong>Wales</strong> is determined, principally, by<br />
its art collections. There are, however, other factors and it<br />
is my belief that the public’s perception <strong>of</strong> this place is<br />
conditioned to some extent by the building, to some<br />
extent by the art we display and by the programmes we<br />
run, but above all, I am sure, it is determined by the<br />
attitude and demeanour <strong>of</strong> the staff within. The progress<br />
and the success <strong>of</strong> the Art Gallery is the achievement <strong>of</strong> all<br />
the staff from the Senior Managers and Head Curators to<br />
those in all corners <strong>of</strong> the Art Gallery and I, as ever,<br />
record my gratitude to all for their unstinting and, I hope,<br />
generally enjoyable work for the Art Gallery. To the<br />
Trustees, led by David Gonski, the Art Gallery<br />
Foundation and its board <strong>of</strong> Trustees, the President’s<br />
Council, the Centenary Fund members who have raised so<br />
much money for the building <strong>of</strong> the new theatre, our<br />
various benefactor schemes which are the result <strong>of</strong><br />
extraordinary work and commitment by individuals, the<br />
Art Gallery Society and its Council, the Volunteer Guides<br />
and the Task Force, I express my thanks for ensuring the<br />
life and breath <strong>of</strong> the Art Gallery. In addition there are<br />
also <strong>of</strong> course our benefactors who continue to support<br />
the present and the future <strong>of</strong> the Art Gallery with gifts<br />
and donations; the list <strong>of</strong> acquisitions is evidence aplenty<br />
<strong>of</strong> the extent to which the growth <strong>of</strong> the collections is<br />
dependent upon private benefaction, just as our list <strong>of</strong><br />
sponsors ensure the successful fulfilment <strong>of</strong> our<br />
exhibitions and events programmes. To all those we<br />
express again our thanks. Finally to the Secretary, Evan<br />
Williams and the Ministry for the Arts and to our<br />
Minister and Premier, the Hon Bob Carr, we express our<br />
appreciation <strong>of</strong> the government’s continuing commitment<br />
to the growth <strong>of</strong> the Art Gallery.<br />

YEAR IN REVIEW<br />
Art works worth more than $5.2 million were purchased and given to the Art<br />
Gallery this year. Two <strong>of</strong> the major acquisitions are My Garden by Fred Williams<br />
and The Plain <strong>of</strong> Musashi, Japanese screens by an unknown artist. Generous<br />
contributions by individuals, the Art Gallery Foundation and the Art Gallery Society<br />
helped boost the acquisitions fund which has reached a total <strong>of</strong> $75.6 million<br />
over the past nine years.<br />
COLLECTIONS<br />
The Australian Collection Focus series has given a<br />
high pr<strong>of</strong>ile to important works in the collection,<br />
provided a popular attraction and demonstrated the skills<br />
<strong>of</strong> conservation staff through their involvement with the<br />
scientific examination and analysis <strong>of</strong> material. For the<br />
second year running an Art Gallery <strong>of</strong>ficer was named<br />
national conservator <strong>of</strong> the year.<br />
Australian Art<br />
Acquisitions this year have addressed historical<br />
aspects <strong>of</strong> the collection, especially early to mid 20th<br />
century painting. Fred Williams’ My Garden 1965-67 is a<br />
work painted in direct response to Tom Roberts’ Bailed Up,<br />
underlining Williams’ strong allegiance to the traditions <strong>of</strong><br />
Australian art. It brings to the Art Gallery one <strong>of</strong> the artist’s<br />
greatest works from a period previously unrepresented.<br />
John Olsen’s Five Bells 1963 is another highlight,<br />
allowing the Art Gallery to represent Olsen’s passion for<br />
Sydney Harbour in a magnificent outpouring <strong>of</strong> exuberance.<br />
Based on the subject <strong>of</strong> Kenneth Slessor’s poem Five Bells,<br />
this painting is a precursor to Olsen’s huge mural, Salute<br />
to Five Bells, painted for the Sydney Opera House a<br />
decade later.<br />
The third major purchase, Ian Fairweather’s The Pool<br />
8<br />
1959, is <strong>of</strong> singular importance for its indebtedness to<br />
Cézanne: there is nothing in the collection which<br />
compares with its cool, dark, tropical mood. A rare<br />
painting from Brett Whiteley’s 1963-64 bathroom series<br />
was bought from the Mertz collection.<br />
Significant purchases <strong>of</strong> works on paper included a<br />
suite <strong>of</strong> 40 etchings entitled Forty Pages from Antartica<br />
1988 by Bea Maddocks, a pioneer in photo-etching in<br />
Australia, and John Olsen’s drawing Flathead and Fish<br />
1999.<br />
Amongst numerous gifts were Fred Williams’ The<br />
River, Werribee Gorge 1977, given by Lyn Williams, and<br />
Metropolis 1999, a masterwork <strong>of</strong> Rosalie Gascoigne’s<br />
retro-reflective assemblages, given by the artist just before<br />
her sudden death. The Australian sculpture collection<br />
benefited substantially from gifts, in particular Rayner<br />
H<strong>of</strong>f’s Aboriginal Head 1925, given by Sam and Heather<br />
Ure-Smith and Rosemary Madigan’s Group <strong>of</strong> Three<br />
Figures, given by Peta Phillips.<br />
Salvatore Z<strong>of</strong>rea gave 1<strong>00</strong> woodcuts comprising his<br />
Appassionata suite, along with the drawings used to<br />
prepare them. Gwen Frolich gave an important early<br />
‘schoolgirl’ drawing by Charles Blackman; Alan and<br />
Jancis Rees gave a number <strong>of</strong> early etchings by Lloyd Rees<br />
from the Memories <strong>of</strong> Europe series, 1975.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art<br />
Major acquisitions this year were early paintings by<br />
three <strong>of</strong> the most significant Aboriginal artists. The<br />
paintings were Rover Thomas’ Untitled (Two Men<br />
Dreaming) c. 1986, an early Papunya board by Uta Uta<br />
Tjangala, Untitled 1972 and a bark painting by Narritjin<br />
Maymuru, Djert (The Sea Eagle) c. 1960.<br />
Preparations for the exhibition Papunya Tula: Genesis<br />
and Genius for the Sydney 2<strong>00</strong>0 Olympic Arts Festival<br />
provided the opportunity to view paintings by artists who<br />
have painted for Papunya Tula Artists Ltd over the past<br />
30 years. The Mollie Gowing Acquisition Fund for<br />
Contemporary Aboriginal Art purchased a significant<br />
body <strong>of</strong> work by these artists for the exhibition and, in<br />
turn, the collection. It included works by Timmy Payungka<br />
Tjapangati, Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula, Ray James Tjangala,<br />
Patrick Tjungurrayi, Naata Nungurrayi and Walangkura<br />
Napanagka. The Leo Christie Emerging Artists Fund<br />

Asian Art<br />
The Art Gallery’s collection <strong>of</strong> Asian art was enriched<br />
with acquisitions that comply with the aims <strong>of</strong> developing<br />
comprehensive displays <strong>of</strong> the highest quality to show the<br />
artistic heritage <strong>of</strong> the various countries identified as<br />
Asian. The pieces encapsulate enduring characteristics <strong>of</strong><br />
the aesthetics <strong>of</strong> their respective cultures - values which<br />
can now be appreciated by the Australian public.<br />
Major acquisitions included three sculptures<br />
acquired through the support <strong>of</strong> the Art Gallery Society.<br />
These were the dramatic 8th century image <strong>of</strong> the<br />
victorious Hindu goddess Durga killing the Buffalo<br />
Demon, a finely carved 10th century Indian stone relief <strong>of</strong><br />
the boar incarnation <strong>of</strong> the Hindu god Vishnu, and an<br />
impressive 9th century stone image <strong>of</strong> a Javanese seated<br />
Buddha which perfectly conveys the Buddhist ideal <strong>of</strong><br />
spiritual fulfilment and the dignity <strong>of</strong> perfect wisdom.<br />
Important Japanese acquisitions were a pair <strong>of</strong> gold<br />
screens <strong>of</strong> pine trees by Suzuki Shonen and a beautiful<br />
17th century pair <strong>of</strong> screens depicting autumn grasses on<br />
the plain <strong>of</strong> Musashi, one <strong>of</strong> the great classical subjects <strong>of</strong><br />
Japanese art. The latter purchase was made through the<br />
Art Gallery Foundation.<br />
Amongst the very fine selection <strong>of</strong> gifts were a rare<br />

most admired ‘classic’ wares <strong>of</strong> China; an earthenware<br />
‘hill jar’ <strong>of</strong> the Han dynasty; and a hanging scroll by Qi<br />
Baishi. These three pieces were amongst a group <strong>of</strong> seven<br />
presented by an anonymous donor. Other gifts to the<br />
Chinese collection included fine imperial porcelain from<br />
the J.H. Myrtle collection, an energetic hand handscroll<br />
painting by Lu Yanshao, a gift <strong>of</strong> Lee Teck-Chiow, and two<br />
early rare rank badges, gifts <strong>of</strong> Judith and Ken Rutherford.<br />
The Ifould Family presented several traditional<br />
Japanese ukiyo-e prints by important artists, welcome<br />
additions to our collection <strong>of</strong> this classical genre <strong>of</strong> Japanese<br />
art. And through the Yasuko Myer Bequest Fund, important<br />
acquisitions <strong>of</strong> the work <strong>of</strong> 20th century ‘creative print’<br />
artists such as Onchi Kochiro added to the growing<br />
significance <strong>of</strong> the Art Gallery’s Japanese modern collection.<br />
The finest and most significant acquisitions to our<br />
<strong>South</strong> and southeast Asian collections were made through<br />
the very generous bequest <strong>of</strong> the late Alex Biancardi, a<br />
discerning collector. His legacy <strong>of</strong> rare bronzes, sculptures<br />
and textiles was enhanced by the purchase <strong>of</strong> additional<br />
pieces from his collection through the D.G. Wilson<br />
Bequest Fund, giving depth and meaning to collections<br />
previously notable for their paucity <strong>of</strong> good pieces.<br />

Western Art<br />
An important 18th century drawing by George<br />
Romney, A Study <strong>of</strong> Two Women, was purchased with<br />
funds provided by the Parramore Bequest for the<br />
collection <strong>of</strong> European art before 19<strong>00</strong>. While Romney is<br />
generally ranked third in importance amongst British<br />
portrait painters <strong>of</strong> the period after Reynolds and<br />
Gainsborough, in drawing he was one <strong>of</strong> the most<br />
vigorous and spontaneous artists <strong>of</strong> the British school.<br />
Three gifts from Margaret Olley were important<br />
additions to international modern and contemporary art:<br />
Giorgio Morandi’s Natura Morta, Pierre Bonnard’s<br />
Promenade des Nourrices and Madame Prosper-Emile<br />
Weil a son bureau by Edouard Vuillard. Two major<br />
purchases for the international print collection were the<br />
lithograph La Baignoire by Pierre Bonnard, printed under<br />
his direction by Jacques Villon, and the recently released<br />
etching Garden in Winter by Lucian Freud.<br />
Key acquisitions <strong>of</strong> contemporary Australian art<br />
included a 26 panel painting, Revisionary, by Guan Wei,<br />
supported by the Rudy Komon Memorial Fund. The<br />
Contemporary Collection Benefactors enabled the Art<br />
Gallery to purchase the sculpture Cash Crop by Fiona Hall,<br />
Spanish Journal by Peter Atkins, and major works by Marion<br />
Borgelt, Janet Burchill, Adam Cullen and Judith Wright.

Photography<br />
The photography collection received many<br />
handsome gifts, including 15 Cazneaux photographs from<br />
his family. A recent photograph by Bill Henson was<br />
acquired, along with five Tracey M<strong>of</strong>fatt works from her<br />
series Scarred for Life II, and three works by Felicia Kan<br />
from her 1999 exhibition.<br />
EXHIBITIONS<br />
Two major exhibitions consolidated the success <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Art Gallery in initiating, curating, organising and marketing<br />
important exhibitions. They were Michelangelo to Matisse:<br />
Drawing the Figure and the Jeffrey Smart retrospective.<br />
In total, the Art Gallery presented 40 exhibitions<br />
during the year, including those at the Brett Whiteley Studio<br />
and on tour to regional galleries. In partnership with the<br />
permanent collections, they attracted 1,065,154 visitors.<br />
Michelangelo to Matisse, a Festival <strong>of</strong> Sydney event,<br />
was the top drawcard with 124,312 visitors. The 2<strong>00</strong>0<br />
Archibald Prize - teamed with the one-<strong>of</strong>f Sporting<br />
Portrait Prize - had 63,849, followed by Jeffrey Smart’s<br />
55,171. Touring exhibition attendances were lower than<br />
the previous year, with the State Gallery <strong>of</strong> Victoria under<br />
renovation and not available as a venue.<br />
The skills and commitment <strong>of</strong> Art Gallery staff are<br />
tested in this demanding schedule <strong>of</strong> exhibitions. In<br />
addition to public programmes - discussed later - many<br />
other operational aspects come into play. Work <strong>of</strong> the<br />
conservation staff ranged from the preparation <strong>of</strong> bark<br />
paintings for exhibition to conservation <strong>of</strong> antique frames<br />
and making <strong>of</strong> reproduction frames for Australian Icons.<br />
The photographic studio’s 749 requests included<br />
photography for three in-house catalogues, documentation<br />
<strong>of</strong> all exhibitions and highly detailed slides <strong>of</strong> Michelangelo<br />
to Matisse for lecturing. Acquisition <strong>of</strong> 488 works and<br />
including loans, involved the registration department in<br />
documentation, coordination, crate design and construction,<br />
packing, transport, loan agreements, courier arrangements<br />
and installation supervision.<br />
Australian Art<br />
More than 80 paintings by Jeffrey Smart, selected by<br />
the Art Gallery director Edmund Capon, made this<br />
celebrated Australian expatriate’s retrospective a highlight<br />
<strong>of</strong> the year. Smart has found inspiration in the urban<br />
landscape, expanding to the hard, repetitious architecture<br />
and technology <strong>of</strong> the late 20th century, transforming his<br />
subjects into classically precise, rigorously executed<br />
compositions. After its Sydney showing, the retrospective<br />
toured to Brisbane and Melbourne, sponsored by<br />
ABN•AMRO Rothschild.<br />

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art<br />
Yiribana Gallery continued its exhibition from the<br />
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander collection, a material<br />
thing. Michael Riley’s photographic portraits Yarns from<br />
the Talbragar Reserve were exhibited for NAIDOC Week.<br />
Raiki Wara: Long cloth from Aboriginal Australia and the<br />
Torres Strait gave a significant insight into a relatively<br />
new medium in indigenous art practice. Two more<br />
exhibitions from the Yiribana collection were curated<br />
primarily by media - Another Country: works on paper<br />
and photography from the collection, and Ochre: bark<br />
paintings from the collection.<br />
Asian Art<br />
Two major exhibitions <strong>of</strong> Asian art commenced in<br />
the previous financial year, both running until August<br />
1999. They were Treasures <strong>of</strong> Asian Art: Selections from<br />
the Mr & Mrs John D Rockefeller 3rd Collection <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Asia Society and Indonesian Gold: Treasures from the<br />
National Museum, Jakarta.<br />

International Art<br />
The major exhibition for the year was Michelangelo<br />
to Matisse: Drawing the Figure, curated by Terence<br />
Maloon and Peter Raissis. This huge and very successful<br />
exhibition <strong>of</strong> master drawings from the 16th to the 20th<br />
century included work by Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt,<br />
Picasso and Raphael. Amoung the international lenders<br />
were the Uffizi Gallery, Tate Gallery, Courtauld Gallery,<br />
<strong>New</strong> York’s Metropolitan Museum <strong>of</strong> Art, J Paul Getty<br />
Museum and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.<br />
In the area <strong>of</strong> international modern and contemporary<br />

PUBLICATIONS<br />
The record-breaking success <strong>of</strong> the Gallery Shop this<br />
year has a great deal to do with in-house publications.<br />
Enlarged and in its new location - with satellite exhibition<br />
shops as appropriate - the Gallery Shop turnover was<br />
$4.1 million – the highest <strong>of</strong> any museum shop in<br />
Australia. And $1.2 million <strong>of</strong> this amount was revenue<br />
from Art Gallery publications which are distributed<br />
nationally and internationally. Funds raised from the<br />
Gallery Shop, for which exhibition merchandising is<br />
becoming an important source <strong>of</strong> revenue, go directly to<br />
Art Gallery acquisitions to expand the collection.<br />
Publications over the past 12 months include the<br />
vivid catalogue for the Jeffrey Smart retrospective by<br />
Edmund Capon with Barry Pearce and Peter Quartermaine<br />
- 19,5<strong>00</strong> copies printed in three editions - the elegant<br />
catalogue accompanying Fragrant Space by the exhibition’s<br />
curator Liu Yang and the Asian art department, and the<br />
254-page catalogue for Michelangelo to Matisse by<br />
Terence Maloon and Peter Raissis.<br />
An earlier catalogue - for the Art Gallery exhibition<br />
Body – won the inaugural Power Institute Award for the<br />
best work <strong>of</strong> art history <strong>of</strong> the previous two years, judged<br />
by an independent jury administered by the Art Association<br />
<strong>of</strong> Australia and <strong>New</strong> Zealand. Two other Art Gallery<br />
Life drawing class in the Art Gallery held in conjunction with<br />
the Michelangelo to Matisse: Drawing the figure exhibition<br />
titles, Dancing to the Flute by Jackie Menzies and<br />
Orientalism, were runners up.<br />
Body and Fragrant Space are among the Art Gallery<br />
titles to be found in US bookshops. The major publications<br />
are distributed nationally and internationally by Thames<br />
and Hudson Ltd, which gives them a good pr<strong>of</strong>ile in major<br />
museum shops and bookshops in Britain and Europe.<br />
A <strong>full</strong> list <strong>of</strong> Art Gallery publications printed this<br />
year, and those available from previous years, is published<br />
in the appendices.<br />
NEW AUDIENCES<br />
Energetic and imaginative ventures to win new<br />
audiences included the 2<strong>00</strong>0 Sporting Portrait Prize,<br />
sponsored by the Daily Telegraph and judged by media<br />
identities Roy Slaven and H.G. Nelson with the director,<br />
Edmund Capon. In a different mood, tours <strong>of</strong> the Royal<br />
Botanical Gardens were organised to view the birds and<br />
flowers represented in Fragrant Space.<br />
Highlights <strong>of</strong> the diverse range <strong>of</strong> public programmes<br />
were the international symposia accompanying major<br />
temporary exhibitions, including Drawing the Figure in<br />
conjunction with Michelangelo to Matisse and Intellect is<br />
International and Connecting Flights for the Biennale <strong>of</strong><br />
Sydney. Masterclasses for Higher School Certificate<br />
17
students were booked out during the Michelangelo to<br />
Matisse exhibition.<br />
Regular programmes including courses on art<br />
appreciation and art history – supported by the Art<br />
Gallery’s research library and archive – attracted committed<br />
audiences. Amongst the popular workshops, forums, tours,<br />
free public talks and weekly film screenings, artist talks<br />
and dialogues were held in conjunction with the Biennale<br />
<strong>of</strong> Sydney and the Sydney Festival, adding a lively and<br />
informative dimension to the display <strong>of</strong> works <strong>of</strong> art.<br />
The popularity <strong>of</strong> the free 15-minute introductory<br />
slide talks for special exhibitions grew. The audio-visual<br />
section <strong>of</strong> the department has begun making in-house<br />
videos. Informative video displays in exhibitions areas<br />
have been another feature <strong>of</strong> the expanded media-related<br />
education activities.<br />
Free performances related to temporary exhibitions<br />
and the permanent collection consistently attracted large<br />
audiences. Many programmes with a family focus took<br />
place over weekends and during holidays.<br />
Young audiences are a particular focus. This year the<br />
department trained another 40 volunteer children’s guides<br />
and eight teacher-lecturers. This resulted in 75 children’s<br />
guides taking 21,363 children on art adventure tours,<br />
while 16 teacher-lecturers took 6,441 students on<br />
discussion tours. In-depth education services for<br />
temporary exhibitions, conducted by <strong>full</strong> time museum<br />
educators, attracted 5,807 students. Over the year, 56,118<br />
students made self-guided visits.<br />
Artexpress, the annual exhibition featuring a<br />
selection <strong>of</strong> outstanding works created for the HSC<br />
examination in visual arts, was again extremely popular<br />
with schools and the general public. It was attended by<br />
17,762 students in booked groups alone.<br />
Revelant educational resources, including education<br />
kits, education posters and the quarterly Exhibition and<br />
Events brochure, were produced for the permanent<br />
collection and temporary exhibitions.<br />
Important community initiatives continued with the<br />
steady growth in attendances at free Auslan-interpreted<br />
tours for both deaf and hearing people. In September<br />
1999, in association with the Australian Museum, the Art<br />
Gallery organised a pr<strong>of</strong>essional development lecture by<br />
William Kirby, a world renowned expert on services in<br />
museums for blind and visually impaired people.<br />
In May 2<strong>00</strong>0 the Art Gallery was notified <strong>of</strong> a<br />
$3<strong>00</strong>,<strong>00</strong>0 grant from the Ian Potter Foundation for an<br />
audience development programme, targeting young people<br />
and Asian audiences.<br />

REGIONAL CONTACT<br />
Chief touring exhibition for the year was drawn<br />
from the Archibald Prize, going to Moree, <strong>New</strong>castle,<br />
Griffith, Melbourne and Albury. The Jeffrey Smart<br />
retrospective went to Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne.<br />
Seeing Cézanne was seen in Ballarat and Modern Lovers -<br />
Bettina Rheims in Melbourne. These exhibitions attracted<br />
a total <strong>of</strong> 155,767 visitors.<br />
Regional touring is only one <strong>of</strong> many ways in which<br />
the Art Gallery makes its presence felt outside Sydney.<br />
This year works were lent to other institutions for<br />
exhibitions around Australia, with particular assistance<br />
given to Moree Plains Regional Art Gallery for their<br />
exhibition <strong>of</strong> the work <strong>of</strong> Brett Whiteley.<br />
At a one-day conference for NSW Regional<br />
Galleries, librarians Kay Truelove and Robyn Louey from<br />
the Art Gallery’s research library and archive presented a<br />
much appreciated workshop on the use <strong>of</strong> the Internet as<br />
a research tool for the visual arts.<br />
Further a field, Sydney Long’s Pan 1898 was loaned<br />
to the Royal Academy, London, for the exhibition 19<strong>00</strong>:<br />
Art at the Crossroads. This exhibition later moved to the<br />
Guggenheim Museum, <strong>New</strong> York.<br />
Curator and Assistant Curator <strong>of</strong> Aboriginal and<br />
Torres Strait Islander Art represented the Art Gallery at<br />
the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander<br />
Art Award in Darwin in September 1999. The Assistant<br />
Curator <strong>of</strong> Aboriginal Art also attended the National<br />
Indigenous Artists Conference in Cairns and the Nji Jaga<br />
Anya Nji, <strong>New</strong> <strong>South</strong> <strong>Wales</strong> Aboriginal Artists<br />
Conference in Armidale.<br />
The Art Gallery’s website - upgraded and relaunched<br />
in June 2<strong>00</strong>0 - has become an increasingly important<br />
communications and marketing tool, providing regular<br />
updates on activities and attracting high levels <strong>of</strong> repeat<br />
visits to the site from web users in Australia and around<br />
the world. In the new financial year, the website is<br />
expected to include information from the computerised<br />
collection management system which was developed by<br />
the registration department and handed over this year to<br />
curatorial departments to prepare for its website appearance.<br />
The Art Gallery website will also benefit from NSW<br />
Government funding to digitise the collection over the next<br />
three years commencing in July, 2<strong>00</strong>0. This will allow<br />
images <strong>of</strong> most <strong>of</strong> the collection to be added to the Art<br />
Gallery database for research and internal use, eventually<br />
making these available to the public via the website.
SUPPORT<br />
The Art Gallery enjoys tremendous support from<br />
individuals and organisations. Without their contributions,<br />
the collection and Art Gallery ventures would be very<br />
much the poorer. Sponsors’ backing for specific events<br />
and individual donors are listed in the appendices.<br />
The Art Gallery Society <strong>of</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>South</strong> <strong>Wales</strong> is the<br />
largest organisation <strong>of</strong> arts supporters in Australia with<br />
over 30,<strong>00</strong>0 members. This year, a record 85 percent<br />
renewed their membership.<br />
In 1999, the Society achieved its highest financial<br />
surplus to date, enabling it to fund the purchase <strong>of</strong> major<br />
works, including Five Bells by John Olsen, My Garden by<br />
Fred Williams and two early Indian sculptures.<br />
LOOK, the society’s monthly magazine continued to<br />
develop and published a special issue in April 2<strong>00</strong>0, with<br />
an extended print run, to assist in domestic and<br />
international promotion <strong>of</strong> the Art Gallery for the Sydney<br />
2<strong>00</strong>0 Olympic Arts Festival<br />
Voluntary work organised through the Society<br />
contributed substantially to the Art Gallery’s operations.<br />
The 136 volunteer guides led 30,<strong>00</strong>0 adults and 14,<strong>00</strong>0<br />
children through Art Gallery exhibitions, and 184<br />
members <strong>of</strong> the volunteer task force supplied more than<br />

The Society’s Task Force also provides essential<br />
staffing on entry desks for all ticketed exhibitions.<br />
The principal objective <strong>of</strong> the Art Gallery<br />
Foundation is to raise funds for investment and apply the<br />
derived income to purchasing works <strong>of</strong> art for the Art<br />
Gallery. This year the Foundation had a net surplus <strong>of</strong><br />
$1.695 million (compared with $1.188 million the<br />
previous year), enabling it to commit funds for the Plain<br />
<strong>of</strong> Musashi Japanese screens and Rachael Whiteread’s<br />
Elongated Plinths.<br />
John and Julie Schaeffer were appointed Life<br />
Governors <strong>of</strong> the Foundation in October 1999 in<br />
recognition <strong>of</strong> their very generous support <strong>of</strong> the Art<br />
Gallery through the donation <strong>of</strong> a major work The<br />
Juggler by Alma Tadema and substantial finanical<br />
committment. Max Sandow and Michael Gleeson-White<br />
retired as deputy chairmen <strong>of</strong> the Foundation after many<br />
years’ valuable service.<br />
COMMERCIAL<br />
The Art Gallery venue hiring department achieved<br />
an increase <strong>of</strong> 22 percent gross revenue over the previous<br />
year, with an increase in net revenue to the Art Gallery <strong>of</strong><br />
44 percent, largely due to a significant growth in the<br />
number <strong>of</strong> corporate functions.<br />

View <strong>of</strong> the new Gallery Shop opened on 26 November, 2<strong>00</strong>0<br />
A new brochure, Entertaining at the Gallery, was<br />
developed and distributed to key corporate and government<br />
clients to promote the Art Gallery as a unique venue for<br />
special functions such as cocktail parties, product launches<br />
and dinners. It has proved to be an effective marketing<br />
tool and is also available on the Art Gallery’s website.<br />
Preparing for a boost to tourism during the Sydney<br />
2<strong>00</strong>0 Olympic Games, a task force was established to<br />
ensure the Art Gallery was best positioned to maximise its<br />
exposure and revenue. Breakfast was hosted for 120<br />
participants in the Australian Tourism Commission’s<br />
annual in-bound conference and the special edition <strong>of</strong> the<br />
LOOK magazine was distributed through Australian<br />
embassies, High Commissions, trade <strong>of</strong>fices, Qantas,<br />
hotels and international media and tourism bodies.<br />
Information gathered by the marketing department<br />
in promotions associated with major exhibitions was used<br />
for several direct mail campaigns throughout the year,<br />
targeting repeat visits to the Art Gallery.<br />
BUILDING<br />
Anyone stepping into the Art Gallery in the past<br />
year would be aware <strong>of</strong> the transformation in the<br />
presentation <strong>of</strong> the entrance following the relocation <strong>of</strong><br />
the Gallery Shop and the new focus on Australian art<br />
20<br />
resulting from the opening <strong>of</strong> the Dorothy Street Galleries<br />
<strong>of</strong> Twentieth Century Australian Art. The new presentation<br />
was possible following significant private sector finanical<br />
contribution and was completed with minimum disruption<br />
to the Art Gallery’s operations.<br />
The Public Buildings Stone Conservation project this<br />
year completed the southern façade <strong>of</strong> the building which<br />
is part <strong>of</strong> a 4.34 million four year project. The work included<br />
desalination, preservation maintenance including lead<br />
weathering, stone cleaning and resurfacing <strong>of</strong> the iron grills.<br />
A feasibility design request for a ramp at the<br />
entrance <strong>of</strong> the Art Gallery has been referred to heritage<br />
architects and funding to build access ramp will be<br />
pursued with NSW Government. The Art Gallery was<br />
unsuccessful in negotiating with the various stakeholders<br />
for a new pedestrian entrance to the Domain car park<br />
from the Art Gallery.<br />
Funding was approved for capital works that include<br />
a new Asian gallery, which will give renewed focus to the<br />
centre for Asian studies, where the final year <strong>of</strong> the three<br />
year Arts <strong>of</strong> Asia lecture series commenced in March<br />
2<strong>00</strong>0. The high calibre <strong>of</strong> the speakers - Australian and<br />
international experts on Asian art - has ensured increasing<br />
involvement from the community.

ART GALLERY OF NEW SOUTH WALES TRUST<br />
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL<br />
STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2<strong>00</strong>0<br />
1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES<br />
(a) Reporting entity<br />
The Art Gallery <strong>of</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>South</strong> <strong>Wales</strong> comprises all the<br />
operating activities and entities under the control <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Board <strong>of</strong> Trustees <strong>of</strong> the Art Gallery <strong>of</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>South</strong> <strong>Wales</strong><br />
(the Gallery) including the Gallery’s commercial activities <strong>of</strong><br />
merchandising, venue hire and catering. All transactions<br />
and balances between the funds and entities comprising the<br />
Gallery have been eliminated in the process <strong>of</strong> preparing<br />
the financial statements. The Art Gallery <strong>of</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>South</strong><br />
<strong>Wales</strong> Foundation is not included, as the Gallery has no<br />
direct control over the activities <strong>of</strong> the Foundation. The<br />
principal object <strong>of</strong> the Foundation is to raise funds to be<br />
invested and to apply the income derived from such<br />
investments to the acquisition <strong>of</strong> works <strong>of</strong> art for the<br />
Gallery.<br />
(b) Basis <strong>of</strong> accounting<br />
These financial statements which are a general purpose<br />
financial report have been prepared on an accruals basis<br />
and in accordance with applicable Australian Accounting<br />
Standards and other authoritative pronouncements <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB), Urgent<br />
Issues Group (UIG) the requirements <strong>of</strong> the Public Finance<br />
and Audit Act and Regulations, and the Financial Reporting<br />
Directions published in the Financial Reporting Code for<br />
Budget Dependent General Government Sector Agencies or<br />
issued by the Treasurer under section 9(2)(n) <strong>of</strong> the Act.<br />
Where there are inconsistencies between the above<br />
requirements, the legislative provisions have prevailed. In<br />
the absence <strong>of</strong> a specific Accounting Standard, other<br />
authoritative pronouncement <strong>of</strong> the AASB or UIG<br />
Consensus View, the hierarchy <strong>of</strong> other pronouncements as<br />
outlined in AAS 6 “Accounting Policies” is considered.<br />
Except for certain investments and land, building, property<br />
plant and equipment and infrastructure systems, which are<br />
recorded at valuation, the financial statements are prepared<br />
in accordance with the historical cost convention. All<br />
amounts are rounded to the nearest one thousand dollars<br />
and are expressed in Australian currency. The accounting<br />
policies adopted are consistent with those <strong>of</strong> the previous<br />
year.<br />
(c) Change <strong>of</strong> Accounting Policy<br />
There were no changes to Accounting Policy in the financial<br />
year to 30 June 2<strong>00</strong>0.<br />
(d) Revenue Recognition<br />
Revenue is recognised when the Trust has control <strong>of</strong> the<br />
good or right to receive, it is probable that the economic<br />
benefits will flow to the Trust and the amount <strong>of</strong> revenue<br />
can be measured reliably. Additional comments regarding<br />
the accounting policies for the recognition <strong>of</strong> revenue are<br />
discussed below.<br />
38<br />
(i) <strong>Parliament</strong>ary Appropriations and Contributions from<br />
Other Bodies<br />
From this financial year there is a change in accounting<br />
policy for the recognition <strong>of</strong> parliamentary appropriations.<br />
<strong>Parliament</strong>ary appropriations are generally recognised as<br />
revenues when the agency obtains control over the assets<br />
comprising the appropriations/contributions. Control over<br />
appropriations and contributions is normally obtained<br />
upon receipt <strong>of</strong> the cash.<br />
An exception to the above is when appropriations are<br />
unspent at year-end. In this case, the authority to spend<br />
the money lapses and generally the unspent amount<br />
must be repaid to the Consolidated Fund in the following<br />
financial year. As a result, unspent appropriations are now<br />
accounted for as liabilities rather than revenue.<br />
(ii) Sale <strong>of</strong> Goods and Services<br />
Revenue from the sale <strong>of</strong> goods and services comprises<br />
revenue for the provision <strong>of</strong> products or services ie. user<br />
charges. User charges are recognised as revenue when<br />
the agency obtains control <strong>of</strong> the assets that result from<br />
them.<br />
(e) Employee entitlements<br />
(i) Wages and salaries, annual leave, sick leave and oncosts<br />
Liabilities for wages and salaries, annual leave and<br />
vesting sick leave are recognised and measured as the<br />
amount unpaid at the reporting date at current pay rates<br />
in respect <strong>of</strong> employees’ services up to that date. Under<br />
the awards operating in the Gallery, sick leave is nonvesting.<br />
The Trustees are <strong>of</strong> the opinion that total sick<br />
leave paid in any one year will not exceed leave<br />
entitlements for the year and therefore no liability exists<br />
in respect <strong>of</strong> leave accumulated. The outstanding<br />
amounts <strong>of</strong> payroll tax, workers’ compensation insurance<br />
premiums and fringe benefits tax which are consequential<br />
to employment are recognised as liabilities and expenses<br />
where the employee entitlements to which they relate<br />
have been recognised.<br />
(ii) Long service leave and superannuation<br />
The Gallery’s liability for long service leave and<br />
superannuation are assumed by the Crown Entity. Long<br />
service leave is measured on a nominal basis. The Gallery<br />
accounts for the liability as having been extinguished<br />
resulting in the amount assumed being shown as part <strong>of</strong><br />
the non-monetary revenue items described as<br />
“Acceptance by the Crown Entity <strong>of</strong> Employee<br />
Entitlements and Other Liabilities” Refer Note 12. The<br />
nominal method is based on the remuneration rates at<br />
year-end for all employees with five or more years <strong>of</strong><br />
service. It is considered that this measurement technique<br />
produces results not materially different from the<br />
estimate determined by using the present value basis <strong>of</strong><br />
measurement.
The superannuation expense for the financial year is<br />
determined by using the formulae specified in the<br />
Treasurer’s Directions. The expense for certain<br />
superannuation schemes (ie. Basic Benefits and First<br />
State Super) is calculated as a percentage <strong>of</strong> the<br />
employees’ salary. For other superannuation schemes (ie.<br />
State Superannuation Scheme and State Authorities<br />
Superannuation Scheme), the expense is calculated as a<br />
multiple <strong>of</strong> the employees’ superannuation contributions.<br />
(f) Insurance<br />
The Gallery’s insurance activities are conducted through the<br />
NSW Treasury Managed Fund Scheme <strong>of</strong> self-insurance for<br />
Government agencies. The expense (premium) is<br />
determined by the Fund Manager based on past experience.<br />
(g) Acquisitions <strong>of</strong> assets<br />
The cost method <strong>of</strong> accounting is used for the initial<br />
recording <strong>of</strong> all acquisitions <strong>of</strong> assets by the Gallery. Cost is<br />
determined as the fair value <strong>of</strong> the assets given as<br />
consideration plus the costs incidental to the acquisition.<br />
Assets bequeathed or donated are brought to account and<br />
are initially recognised as assets and revenues, at<br />
valuations determined at the time <strong>of</strong> acquisition by either an<br />
independent valuer or Gallery <strong>of</strong>ficer.<br />
(i) Collections<br />
All additions to the collection are capitalised. Costs<br />
incurred in the restoration and conservation <strong>of</strong> collection<br />
items have been included in Net Cost <strong>of</strong> Services.<br />
(ii) Land, buildings, and plant and equipment<br />
Additions to land, building and plant and equipment<br />
items costing $5,<strong>00</strong>0 and above are capitalised.<br />
(h) Revaluation <strong>of</strong> physical non-current assets<br />
Each class <strong>of</strong> physical non-current assets is included in a<br />
five year revaluation plan. The recoverable amount test has<br />
not been applied, as the Gallery is a non-pr<strong>of</strong>it entity whose<br />
service potential is not related to the ability to generate net<br />
cash inflows.<br />
(i) Property, Plant and Equipment<br />
Land was valued by the Dapartment <strong>of</strong> Public Works and<br />
Services at 30 June 2<strong>00</strong>0. The amount <strong>of</strong> the revaluation<br />
has been brought to account in the books <strong>of</strong> the Gallery.<br />
Land is valued on an existing use basis. Buildings,<br />
including those classified by Treasury as Heritage Assets,<br />
were originally valued by the Department <strong>of</strong> Public Works<br />
& Services in 1992. In accordance with the Gallery’s policy<br />
<strong>of</strong> revaluing major assets each five years, at 30 June<br />
1997, the building was revalued at replacement cost by<br />
B.H. Hazlewood, Executive Quantity Surveyor, State<br />
Projects, Department <strong>of</strong> Public Works and Services. Plant<br />
and equipment items are not revalued and are carried in<br />
the books <strong>of</strong> account at depreciated original cost.<br />
(ii) Collection<br />
A collection revaluation policy has been developed with<br />
“signpost” works identified for revaluation in the<br />
1999/2<strong>00</strong>0 financial year as per the programme <strong>of</strong><br />
revaluing all works over a five year period. The increase<br />
in value <strong>of</strong> the collection was brought to account in the<br />
books <strong>of</strong> the Gallery. All works will be revalued by class in<br />
accordance with a predetermined programme over a<br />
period <strong>of</strong> five years.<br />
(iii) Library Collection<br />
A stocktake <strong>of</strong> the library collection was undertaken in the<br />
1999/2<strong>00</strong>0 financial year. As a result the librarian was <strong>of</strong><br />
the opinion that many works had increased in value since<br />
the initial recognition <strong>of</strong> the library collection. A<br />
revaluation <strong>of</strong> the library was then undertaken and the<br />
amount <strong>of</strong> the revaluation was brought to account in the<br />
books <strong>of</strong> the Gallery.<br />
(i) Depreciation <strong>of</strong> non-current physical assets<br />
Depreciable assets include plant and equipment, permanent<br />
exhibition fit out and motor vehicles. Depreciation is<br />
calculated on a straight line basis so as to write <strong>of</strong>f the<br />
carrying cost <strong>of</strong> these assets over their expected useful life.<br />
The useful life <strong>of</strong> all depreciable assets is re-assessed<br />
annually. Individual assets with a cost <strong>of</strong> less than $5,<strong>00</strong>0<br />
are written <strong>of</strong>f in the year <strong>of</strong> acquisition in accordance with<br />
recommended Government policy. The Trustees believe that<br />
the life <strong>of</strong> the Gallery building is indeterminate but<br />
conservatively estimate that the useful life <strong>of</strong> the building as<br />
a Gallery would be in excess <strong>of</strong> 2<strong>00</strong> years provided that the<br />
building is subject to normal maintenance. Therefore the<br />
annual depreciation expense to be applied to the building is<br />
determined to be immaterial.<br />
Depreciation rates are listed below. For Plant & Equipment<br />
each asset’s effective life is assessed and a depreciation rate<br />
<strong>of</strong> 7%, 14% or 20% is applied. Refer to note 6 for a<br />
dissection <strong>of</strong> depreciation expenses.<br />
Rate<br />
Plant & Equipment 7-20%<br />
Motor Vehicles 20%<br />
Furniture & Fittings 20%<br />
Office Equipment 33%<br />
Computer Equipment 33%<br />
Catering Equipment 20%<br />
Other Equipment 20%<br />
(j) Investments<br />
Investment securities are intended to be held to maturity,<br />
and are recorded at the lower <strong>of</strong> cost and recoverable<br />
amount.<br />
(k) Inventories<br />
Inventories are valued at the lower <strong>of</strong> cost or net realisable<br />
value. Cost is determined using the “average” method <strong>of</strong><br />
stock valuation.<br />
(l) Doubtful debts<br />
Allowance has been made in the accounts for doubtful<br />
debts after investigation and determination <strong>of</strong> recoverability<br />
<strong>of</strong> debts outstanding.<br />
(m) Trust funds<br />
This note is considered to cover conditions on contributions<br />
and also covers restricted assets.<br />
The Gallery receives monies and gifts in specie in a trustee<br />
capacity for various trusts as set out in Note 22. As the<br />
39
Gallery performs only a custodial role in respect <strong>of</strong> these<br />
monies and because the monies cannot be used for general<br />
purposes in the achievement <strong>of</strong> the Gallery’s own<br />
objectives, they are brought to account as a separate item<br />
in the financial statements after calculation <strong>of</strong> the Net Cost<br />
<strong>of</strong> Services before Bequest and Special Funds. The<br />
aggregate <strong>of</strong> contributions received for the year has been<br />
recognised as revenue in the Bequest and Special Funds<br />
Revenue and Expenditure Statement in Note 22(a). These<br />
revenues provide for expenditure in the current year and in<br />
future years. Any revenues unspent in the current year have<br />
been carried forward for appropriate expenditure in future<br />
years.<br />
(n) Trustee benefits<br />
No Trustee <strong>of</strong> the Gallery has received or become entitled to<br />
receive a benefit because <strong>of</strong> a contract made by the Gallery<br />
or a related body with the Trustee or with a firm <strong>of</strong> which<br />
the Trustee is a member, or with a company in which the<br />
Trustee has a substantial interest.<br />
(o) Taxation status<br />
The activities <strong>of</strong> the Gallery are exempt <strong>of</strong> tax.<br />
(p) Services provided at no cost<br />
Where material contributions are made to the Gallery at no<br />
charge an expense is recorded in the accounts to reflect<br />
activities at the Gallery and is <strong>of</strong>fset by an equivalent<br />
revenue entry. Also Refer to Note 26.<br />
40<br />
(i) Volunteer Services<br />
Volunteers make a substantial and integral contribution to<br />
the operation <strong>of</strong> the Gallery. Volunteer guides provide<br />
guided tours <strong>of</strong> the Gallery’s permanent and temporary<br />
exhibitions to the public and primary aged children.<br />
Additional assistance is provided to the Gallery’s library<br />
and study room.<br />
(ii) Building Maintenance<br />
The Department <strong>of</strong> Public Works is undertaking a<br />
programme <strong>of</strong> restoring heritage buildings, including the<br />
Gallery. The cost <strong>of</strong> these works is being borne by the<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Public Works and the Gallery will not incur<br />
any costs.<br />
2 PROGRAMME STATEMENT<br />
The Gallery operates one programme – Art Gallery <strong>of</strong> <strong>New</strong><br />
<strong>South</strong> <strong>Wales</strong>. The objective <strong>of</strong> this programme is to develop<br />
and maintain collections <strong>of</strong> art works for the benefit <strong>of</strong> the<br />
community and to increase knowledge and appreciation <strong>of</strong> art.<br />
In <strong>New</strong> <strong>South</strong> <strong>Wales</strong>, agencies are not required to<br />
separately record expenditures that are financed by the<br />
Consolidated Fund as distinct from expenditure financed by<br />
their own user charges. As a result, they are not able to<br />
determine accurately the exact amount <strong>of</strong> the expenditures<br />
that are related to the Consolidated Fund. However, the<br />
amount <strong>of</strong> revised appropriation should approximate the<br />
actual expenditure <strong>of</strong> Consolidated Fund monies by agencies.

15 CURRENT ASSETS – RECEIVABLES<br />
All trade debtors are recognised at balance date. Collectability <strong>of</strong> trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis.<br />
Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written <strong>of</strong>f. A provision for doubtful debts is raised when some<br />
doubt as to collection exists. The credit risk is the carrying amount (net <strong>of</strong> any provision for doubtful debts).<br />
No interest is earned on trade debtors. The carrying amount approximates net fair value. Sales are made on 30 day terms.<br />

19 CURRENT LIABILITIES – ACCOUNTS PAYABLE<br />
The liabilities are recognised for amounts due to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or<br />
not invoiced. Amounts owing to suppliers (which are unsecured) are settled in accordance with the policy set out<br />
in Treasurer’s Direction 219.01. If trade terms are not specified, payment is made not later than the end <strong>of</strong> the<br />
month following the month in which an invoice or a statement is received. Treasurer’s Direction 219.01 allows<br />
the Minister to award interest for late payment. No Ministerial direction was given, nor did the Gallery incur any<br />
interest expense in relation to the late payment <strong>of</strong> invoices for the financial years ended 1999 and 2<strong>00</strong>0.<br />

All amounts unclaimed are forwarded to the Treasury for credit <strong>of</strong> Special Deposits Unclaimed Monies Account and are available for refund<br />

24 BUDGET REVIEW<br />
Net cost <strong>of</strong> services<br />
The Net Cost <strong>of</strong> Services Before Bequest and Special Funds was higher than budget by $0.9 million. This was due to lower revenues<br />
generated by the Gallery’s commercial activities; including bookshop, functions and exhibitions.<br />
Asset and Liabilities<br />
Net assets increased by $66 million against budget. Art works increased significantly through<br />
– the acquisitions from gifts, tied donations and purchases from commercial activities<br />
– the revaluation <strong>of</strong> the Gallery’s art collection<br />
– the revaluation <strong>of</strong> the library reference collection<br />
– and a small variance from prior year acquisitions received after the forward estimates had been submitted.<br />
Cash Flows<br />
(i) Operating<br />
Operating cash outflows was higher than planned by $1.4 million, due to receipts from donations and bequests being higher than<br />
planned. Lower trading revenue and expenses also contributed to the net result.<br />
48<br />
(ii) Investing<br />
Investing cash flows were $3.1 million higher due to a better than expected level <strong>of</strong> bequests and special funds receipts directed<br />
towards the acquisition <strong>of</strong> art works, and timing <strong>of</strong> capital creditor payments.<br />

MISCELLANEOUS STATUTORY ITEMS<br />
CODE OF CONDUCT<br />
The Code <strong>of</strong> Conduct for the Art<br />
Gallery <strong>of</strong> NSW covers the areas <strong>of</strong>:<br />
• Conflict <strong>of</strong> interest<br />
• Acceptance <strong>of</strong> gifts or benefits<br />
• Personal and pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
behaviour<br />
• Fairness and equity<br />
• Public comment and use <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficial<br />
information<br />
• Use <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficial facilities and<br />
equipment<br />
• Outside employment<br />
• Political participation<br />
• Gallery collections<br />
It is planned to review the Code <strong>of</strong><br />
Conduct during 2<strong>00</strong>0–2<strong>00</strong>1.<br />
COPYRIGHT<br />
The Gallery handles numerous<br />
images every year that are<br />
reproduced in exhibition catalogues,<br />
education kits, promotional material<br />
and shop merchandise. Developing<br />
more <strong>of</strong> our exhibitions in-house has<br />
also brought increasing<br />
responsibilities for ensuring copyright<br />
clearance. The use <strong>of</strong> the Internet<br />
and electronic delivery <strong>of</strong> services<br />
pose further challenges on copyright<br />
issues that will need to be addressed.<br />
Proposed legislative changes to<br />
copyright law will impact on the<br />
70<br />
Gallery's plans to interface our main<br />
research database to our website.<br />
The Gallery has accordingly made a<br />
submission to the Federal<br />
Government's Standing Committee on<br />
Legal and Constitutional Affairs that<br />
is considering amendments to the<br />
Copyright Act (Digital Agenda Bill,<br />
1999).<br />
ENERGY MANAGEMENT<br />
Energy management included the use<br />
<strong>of</strong> environmentally friendly refrigerant<br />
gases in the major air-conditioning<br />
upgrade to reduce greenhouse gas<br />
emissions. Modified programs for<br />
building management control system<br />
were introduced to reduce electrical<br />
consumption, through increased<br />
rates for electrical supply have<br />
negated cost savings. Constant<br />
monitoring and maintenance tuning<br />
to gas fired boilers have kept gas<br />
consumption to projected levels,<br />
maintaining contracted usage with no<br />
additional charges.<br />
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION<br />
The Art Gallery received one formal<br />
request for information under the<br />
Freedom <strong>of</strong> Information Act 1989.<br />
The request was granted in <strong>full</strong>.<br />
Full Freedom on Information<br />
Statement included as Appendix Q.<br />
GST IMPLEMENTATION<br />
Preparation for GST implementation<br />
involved training <strong>of</strong> staff and upgrade<br />
to systems to enable a smooth cutover<br />
on 1 July. All registrations for<br />
GST and related tax reforms were<br />
undertaken on behalf <strong>of</strong> Gallery<br />
entities. The Art Gallery will submit its<br />
Business Activity Statement<br />
electronically on a monthly basis.<br />

WOMEN’S ACTION PLAN<br />
The Annual Reports (Statutory<br />
Bodies) Amendment (Women’s<br />
Action Plan) Regulation 1997 requires<br />
agencies to provide information<br />
about their implementation <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Government’s Action Plan for Women.<br />
A) WHOLE OF GOVERNMENT<br />
APPROACH<br />
The Art Gallery is firmly supportive <strong>of</strong><br />
a whole <strong>of</strong> government approach in<br />
meeting the broad policy outcomes<br />
<strong>of</strong> the NSW Government’s Action<br />
Plan for Women. It is recognised<br />
that all areas <strong>of</strong> NSW Public Sector<br />
have a role in improving the<br />
economic and social participation <strong>of</strong><br />
women by integrating the needs and<br />
concerns <strong>of</strong> women as part <strong>of</strong> normal<br />
business. The Gallery is committed<br />
to the advancement <strong>of</strong> women in all<br />
forms <strong>of</strong> cultural and artistic life and<br />
is aware <strong>of</strong> the need to identify and<br />
redress discrimination against<br />
women in delivering services and<br />
programmes to the public. From an<br />
organisational perspective, the<br />
Gallery acknowledges the needs and<br />
interests <strong>of</strong> women as a direct<br />
occupational group and is supportive<br />
<strong>of</strong> strategies and initiatives that<br />
assist the advancement <strong>of</strong> women in<br />
the workplace.<br />
B) WOMEN’S INTERESTS AND THE<br />
ARTS<br />
While the majority <strong>of</strong> exhibitions<br />
staged by the Gallery include works<br />
<strong>of</strong> art created by women artists the<br />
following exhibitions related to<br />
women’s lives and history and/or<br />
featured work by specific women<br />
artists:<br />
• What is this thing called<br />
photography?: Fiona Hall, Sue Ford,<br />
Micky Allan, Carol Jerrema, Lynn<br />
Silverman, Marion Marrison, Jacky<br />
Redgate, Viva Jillian Gibb, Ingeborg<br />
Tyssen (5th June – 1st August 1999)<br />
• Grace Cossington Smith: Australian<br />
Collection Focus Series No 5<br />
(1st August – 24 October 1999)<br />
Cossington Smith was a pioneer<br />
post Impressionist in Australia who<br />
is widely regarded as the most<br />
brilliant artist <strong>of</strong> her generation.<br />
• Horst Kiechle/Margaret Roberts<br />
(14th August – 26th October 1999)<br />
Roberts is a Sydney based<br />
installation artist who has been<br />
72<br />
exhibiting in group and solo shows<br />
since 1987.<br />
• Modotti & Weston: Mexianidad<br />
(29th October 1999 – 9th January 2<strong>00</strong>0)<br />
In the 1920’s Tina Modotti spent<br />
seven years in Mexico where her<br />
photographic ambitions merged<br />
with a deepening involvement in<br />
social reform and revolutionary<br />
politics. Until recently, Modotti’s<br />
legacy as a photographer had been<br />
largely overshadowed by that <strong>of</strong><br />
Weston, her lover and colleague.<br />
This exhibition attempted to<br />
redress this imbalance.<br />
• Joan Brassil (9th October – 28th<br />
November 1999) Joan Brassil has<br />
been exhibiting her installationbased<br />
work since 1976. Much <strong>of</strong><br />
Brassil’s work involves<br />
collaboration with scientists in an<br />
ongoing investigation into<br />
evolutions and transformations in<br />
space, time and energy.<br />
• Rayner H<strong>of</strong>f and his School: The<br />
Vital Flesh (25th November 1999 to 16<br />
January 2<strong>00</strong>0) The ehxibition also<br />
focused on the work <strong>of</strong> H<strong>of</strong>f’s most<br />
important students – Barbara Tribe<br />

2<strong>00</strong>0) Olive Cotton is recognised as<br />
one <strong>of</strong> Australia’s leading twentieth<br />
century photographers, well know<br />
for such images as the compelling<br />
modernist Tea cup ballet and<br />
Glasses<br />
The Gallery also administers two<br />
bequests which conditions stipulate<br />
are only open to women. These<br />
bequests are the John and Elizabeth<br />
<strong>New</strong>nham Pring Memorial Prize for<br />
‘the best landscape executed in<br />
watercolours by a women artists’<br />
and a capital fund in the name <strong>of</strong><br />
Viktoria Marinov with income used to<br />
purchase works <strong>of</strong> art for the<br />
permanent collection ‘by female<br />
artists under the age <strong>of</strong> 35 years.’<br />
C) ACHIEVEMENTS UNDER KEY<br />
OBJECTIVES IN THE ACTION<br />
PLAN FOR WOMEN<br />
The following achievements have<br />
been made under the two key<br />
objectives that are relevant to the<br />
Gallery in the Government’s Action<br />
Plan for Women:<br />
• PROMOTING WORKPLACES THAT<br />
ARE EQUITABLE, SAFE AND<br />
RESPONSIVE TO ALL ASPECTS OF<br />
WOMEN’S LIVES<br />
The Gallery’s performance under this<br />
key objective is documented in the<br />
equal employment opportunity (EEO)<br />
statistics listed in appendix J <strong>of</strong> this<br />
report which provide information <strong>of</strong><br />
EEO groups within salary levels and<br />
employment basis. The Gallery is<br />
committed to employment <strong>of</strong> staff<br />
based on selection on merit<br />
principles and the Gallery workforce<br />
is currently made up <strong>of</strong> 54% women.<br />
Under employment on merit the<br />
employees benefit by having their<br />
capabilities <strong>full</strong>y utilised and their<br />
skills expanded. Of the four General<br />
Manager positions, three are<br />
currently filled by women which is<br />
indicative <strong>of</strong> the Gallery's<br />
commitment to the advancement <strong>of</strong><br />
women based on merit. Further,<br />
approximately 20% <strong>of</strong> women took<br />
advantage <strong>of</strong> the Gallery's flexible<br />
work practices such <strong>of</strong> part time<br />
work, job sharing, working from<br />
home, part time leave without pay<br />
and the career break scheme in<br />
order to effectively balance<br />
workplace priorities with family and<br />
personal commitments. The Gallery<br />
as a whole benefits in the long term<br />
by being adaptable and responsive to<br />
changing community need and<br />
expectations.<br />
PROMOTING THE POSITION OF<br />
WOMEN IN all aspects <strong>of</strong> society<br />
The Gallery:<br />
• has maintained a general free<br />
admission policy to ensure the<br />
broadest range <strong>of</strong> the community,<br />
including the financial<br />
disadvantaged <strong>of</strong>ten being women,<br />
have access to the State’s fine art<br />
collection and associated<br />
education programmes.<br />
• delivers an exhibition programme<br />
that is representative <strong>of</strong> women<br />
artists’ contribution to the history <strong>of</strong><br />
art and reflects the lives and<br />
achievements <strong>of</strong> women in society.<br />
• administers awards and<br />
scholarships which are open to<br />
women that are designed to assist<br />
in the pr<strong>of</strong>essional development <strong>of</strong><br />
Australian artists.<br />
• recognises the traditional gender<br />
imbalances on decision-making<br />
bodies and the implications <strong>of</strong><br />
representation on strategic<br />
outcomes. There are four females<br />
on the nine member Board <strong>of</strong><br />
Trustees.<br />
D) SPECIFIC COMMITMENTS UNDER<br />
THE ACTION PLAN FOR WOMEN<br />
There are no specific commitments<br />
in the plan which refers to the Art<br />
Gallery <strong>of</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>South</strong> <strong>Wales</strong>.<br />

NEW STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE<br />
SERVICES<br />
Ramp Access<br />
The Gallery engaged heritage<br />
architects to design ramp access to<br />
the front <strong>of</strong> the Art Gallery. This type<br />
<strong>of</strong> access would be beneficial to<br />
people in wheel chairs, the aged,<br />
and people with prams. The building<br />
plans will be submitted for review by<br />
an appropriate disability community<br />
organisation. Unfortunately,<br />
Government funding was not<br />
forthcoming for the 2<strong>00</strong>0/2<strong>00</strong>1<br />
financial year to build this ramp.<br />
The Art Gallery will pursue funding<br />
for the 2<strong>00</strong>1/2<strong>00</strong>2 financial year.<br />
Communications<br />
The new Internet website launched<br />
this year includes capacity for large<br />
