An empty Chair: 10 Years Collecting Paper, presents a selection of the finest works on paper from the permanent collection of Maitland Regional Art Gallery (MRAG), highlighting the diverse and valuable variety of works that have been acquired within the last decade under the leadership of Joseph Eisenberg OAM, Cultural Director of Maitland Regional Art Gallery (MRAG). The exhibition also serves to illustrate the diversity of paper as a medium, presenting a range of two- and three-dimensional works through to scrolls and books.

Building up the collection to its current status has been a priority during the last decade. MRAG now cares for a significant collection of works on paper, which are an asset to the community of Maitland.
