The search is on for
Charles Blackman paintings
The NGV is appealing to Australians far and wide to come forward with any information they may have on paintings from Charles Blackman's Alice in Wonderland series. The paintings sought have not been seen in public for many years.
It’s hoped that the paintings can be found for a major Charles Blackman exhibition in August.
