[AUSTRALIAN ART CATALOGUES] Deutscher Fine Art.

A near complete run of twenty-eight Deutscher Fine Art  exhibition catalogues.  Melbourne, September 1978 – September 1997. Quarto or large octavo, illustrated wrappers, colour and black and white illustrations, some price lists included.

The Melbourne art dealer Chris Deutsher (without the “c“) remains one of the pre-eminent authorities on nineteenth and twentieth century Australian art. These exhibition catalogues, an invaluable resource for institutions and collectors alike, contain a wealth of important reference material on major historical and contemporary Australian art works which passed through his gallery over two glorious decades at the close of the twentieth century. During this period, the scope and quality of the Australian art which Deutsher sold was rivalled perhaps only by Sotheby’s. In addition to these significant group exhibitions of historical paintings, Deutscher Fine Art also exhibited a series of solo exhibitions by contemporary artists.
