“Assembled since 1974 by collector and patron Lady Sheila Cruthers, the Collection showcases the work of Australia’s women artists from the 1880s to the present. Lady Cruthers gifted the collection to The University of Western Australi in 2007 so it could remain intact and available to the public… Into the Light tells the story of the Collection, and presents a compelling view of Australia through women’s artwork, historical photographs and essays. Providing insight into art history and contemporary developments, it is a must for collectors, artists and art lovers. The mixture of iconic and previously unseen images gives this beautiful collection book richness, depth and originality.” (rear cover)
