Tickets are on sale today (Wednesday, September 6) at http://www.artgallery.wa.gov.au Comments attributed to Culture and the Arts Minister David Templeman: "The Corsini family has collected and cared for these artworks for more than 600 years. "Within the exhibition, there are works of art that have survived the devastation of war and the forces of nature. "I am delighted that Western Australian audiences and visitors to our State can experience these incredible works, here in Perth. "As the only Australian venue of this extraordinary exhibition, A Window on Italy - the Corsini Collection will provide a strong cultural boost for Western Australia. "It will also attract visitors to the cultural centre and promote the creation of direct and indirect jobs." |
