The Alan Boxer Bequest is one of the most significant acts of generosity to the National Gallery of Australia. It comprises key works by some of Australia’s finest twentieth-century artists, including Roy de Maistre, Arthur Boyd, Sidney Nolan, Albert Tucker, John Olsen, Charles Blackman and John Perceval. A dedicated and insightful collector, Boxer enjoyed a fruitful relationship with the Gallery over many years. He took a keen interest in the developing national collection, visiting the off-site store before the building opened to the public in 1982. Following his retirement, he became a voluntary guide at the Gallery, further deepening his understanding of mid twentieth-century Australian art, which comprises the majority of works in the bequest.
