Exhibition launch | 100 faces

Museum of Australian Photography
Saturday, 1:00–3:00pm

MAPh Committee of Management Chair Tony Peake, and MAPh Director Anouska Phizacklea warmly invite you to the launch of 100 faces

Through the lenses of over 50 artists, 100 faces brings together 100 works drawn from three photographic collections to explore the portrait in its many forms, as well as what it means to collect portraiture both publicly and privately.

This exhibition draws from two private Melbourne collections, belonging to the Harris and Rosenthal families. Works from these collections have been placed in conversation with our significant public collection to reveal a rich diversity of faces. From celebrities and cultural figures to anonymous individuals caught unawares on the street, this exhibition features works by major Australian and international artists.
