Art & Heritage Collections

The University of Adelaide's Visual Art Collection includes seven works by the respected Adelaide artist Franz Kempf AM. The artist's long association with the University reaches back to 1970 when The Contract (1969, oil on canvas), a painting depicting an Old Testament scene, was purchased for the collection.

Now, almost 40 years later, Franz Kempf has generously donated 25 of his paintings and drawings to the Elder Conservatorium of Music to raise funds for the development of music in this State.

The works are for sale at a special exhibition, Drawing for Music, at Heysen Frames, 110 Finniss Street, North Adelaide, 11am- 4pm every day from 8-23 November. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire works by this noted artist and support South Australian music.
