The exhibition runs from Saturday, September 29, to Sunday, October 28, with opening drinks at 3pm, Saturday, September 29. It will be opened by author Robert Macklin, whose friendship with Bob extended over the last 20 years of Bob’s career, with music by guitarist and friend Geoffrey Potter.
“Bob Baker is one of those rare artists of the first rank whose real worth was never fully appreciated during his lifetime, except by those privileged to know him best,” Macklin said.
“Part of the reason was his location for the most productive and astonishing period of his artistic output, in the small NSW South Coast village of Bodalla, far from the artistic whirlwind of the metropolis.
“But mainly it was his own single-minded devotion to his work, with little or no care for the wealth and fame that he so richly deserved.”
