Queensland Art Gallery website, viewed on 7 March 2018 (recent passing of Robert Hunter (1947–2014), one of Australia’s pre-eminent abstract artists. Born in Melbourne, Hunter was strongly influenced by teachers Dale Hickey and James Doolin, and later the enigmatic black paintings by Ad Reinhardt, as well as the conceptual grids of Sol LeWitt. However, by the mid-1960s he had found a unique abstract language and set of parameters that would sustain his practice for nearly five decades. Hunter was the youngest artist included in the National Gallery of Victoria’s seminal exhibition ‘The Field’ in 1968. In 1971 he was included in the Second Indian Triennale, Lalit Kala Academy, New Delhi, and in 1974 in an international survey ‘Eight Contemporary Artists’ at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. He maintained an international profile for many years, also showing in London and Dusseldorf) https://blog.qagoma.qld.gov.au/vale-robert-hunter-1947-2014
