Christchurch-born Rex Nan Kivell made a large donation of art with Australian and New Zealand subjects to the Commonwealth Library (now the National Library of Australia) in Canberra. This exhibition comprised 169 paintings and prints from this collection. It was described by Mr C R H Taylor, Chief Librarian at the Turnbull Library, as 'one of the most remarkable New Zealand art collections in existence.'
The largest work was a portrait of Abel Tasman and his family by Jacob Cuyp.
