Enjoy A Bus Trip To See The Ngv Guggenheim CollectionOn Saturday 25 August, the Latrobe Regional Gallery is organising a relaxing and fully-catered tour to Melbourne to experience the Guggenheim Collection at the National Gallery of Victoria. By Latrobe City Council - 2nd August 2007 - Back to News Gallery director, Jacqui Hemsley said that the ‘Guggenheim Collection: 1940s to Now’ features iconic artworks from the 1940s to the present by internationally renowned artists such as Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Roy Lichtenstein, Gilbert & George, and Jeff Koons.
