Description: The National Gallery of Victoria's inaugural exhibition at its new premises on St Kilda Road in 1968 was The Field, the first comprehensive display of colour field painting and abstract sculpture in Australia. Regarded as a landmark exhibition in Australian art history, The Field was a radical presentation of 74 works by 40 artists who practised hard-edge, geometric, colour and flat abstraction, many of which were influenced by American stylistic tendencies of the time. The Field Revisited recreates this landmark exhibition for its fifty-year anniversary in 2018.
Notes: This two-volume edition includes a facsimile of the 1968 exhibition publication, The Field, alongside The Field Revisited - a new publication which reflects the importance of The Field over the past fifty years.

Published for the exhibition The Field Revisited, held at NGV Australia, Federation Square, Melbourne, 27 April - 26 August 2018.

Volume 2 is a facsimile edition of the catalogue for the exhibition The Field, held at The National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, 22 August - 28 September, 1968.
