Reuben Paterson at National Gallery of Victoria

Reuben Paterson's A Crucifixion (2012) from the National Gallery of Victoria's permanent collection is on view as part of Art of the Pacific from the NGV Collection from 15 November 2025 - October 2026. 

"This display brings together works by artists and designers from Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia (including the Torres Strait). Spanning diverse periods, places and media – including photography, printmaking, painting, sculpture, video, fashion, tapa and lei – these works explore both contemporary innovation and the preservation of customary cultural practices. Seen together, these works highlight the vitality of art from the Pacific, and its role as a powerful vehicle for storytelling, ceremony, resistance and the transmission of culture across generations."
