Abstract
This dissertation examines the Art Gallery of South Australia’s patterns of collecting
modern and contemporary British art since the outbreak of the Second World War. It
analyses the relative influence on these collecting patterns of Australia’s transition from
a mono-cultural British dominion to a post-imperial multicultural nation positioned in
the Asia/Pacific region, in comparison to the influence of institutional and art world
changes. It evaluates the resulting strengths and weaknesses of the collection and
assesses post-imperial museological issues pertaining to collection management.
