The Bert Flugelman Wry ARTificer exhibition was on display in the UOW Library Panizzi Gallery, from 5 November 2018 to 31 March 2019. This exhibition moved beyond the monumental public works that Bert was arguably best known for, to explore his multi-faceted character and constant evolution as an artist.

 

 

Introductory Panel

 

 

UOW Library Exhibitions Coordinator, Phillippa Webb, curated the exhibition by conducting extensive research of publications and historical accounts as well as interviewing many of Bert's past colleagues, collaborators and students. She also worked closely with the Bert Flugelman Estate, primarily Bert's daughter Kay, to deliver substantial collective insight into Bert's artistic mind.

Wry ARTificer featured many items from UOW Archives, the UOW Art Collection and private collections to demonstrate the variety and scope of Bert's artistic practice. Included were early paintings and sketches from the 1950s and 1960s, examples of Bert's maquettes, and the ceramic works in Double Spiral (2008), Lady Pot (1993), alongside examples of his exploration in performance art, installations and Earthworks.
