About the Naomi Milgrom Foundation

The Naomi Milgrom Foundation was founded in 2014, and its purpose is to enrich Australian cultural life by engaging new audiences with exceptional art, design and architecture. The Foundation, led by Naomi Milgrom AO, has become a model for public-private collaboration by enabling new projects with a focus on public, industry and education components.

A not-for-profit organisation, the Foundation champions multidisciplinary projects that explore design’s close interconnections with contemporary culture. The MPavilion series is the Foundation’s centrepiece project, encouraging design debate and cultural exchange, and has become Australia’s leading architecture commission.

The exhibition William Kentridge: That Which We Do Not Remember at the Art Gallery of New South Wales celebrates the artist’s use of multiple and interrelated mediums and disciplines. Kentridge was invited by Milgrom to curate the exhibition, which includes pieces from Milgrom’s distinguished collection, one of the largest holdings of Kentridge’s works.

The Foundation’s support of this publication and exhibition coincides with its support of The Head & the Load: William Kentridge, a world premiere performance in London at Tate Modern, which opened earlier this year.

The Naomi Milgrom Foundation would like to acknowledge its extraordinary association with William Kentridge and thank him for his endless enthusiasm and support over the years, designer Sabine Theunissen, Anne McIlleron, Michael Brand, Director of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Gallery’s team, Michele Cooper-Hede, curator of the Naomi Milgrom Collection, writer Jane Taylor and book designer Carla Saunders.
