presented a Survey Exhibition of his work in December 1990, combined with a commercial exhibition at Riverhouse Galleries, both of which demonstrated the quality of his modernist paintings. His work is represented in the collections of the Art Galleries of NSW, Queensland, the National Gallery of Australia and the National Gallery of Victoria, as well as regional galleries at Armidale, Ballarat and the British Museum and the Victoria and Alberts Museums in London.
