Description:Share via Email Bill Henson is one of the very few indisputably great contemporary Australian artists - a photographer of astonishing talent , whose work is held in the collections of the National Gallery in Canberra, the Guggenheim Museum, the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, and, in an irony that will soon become apparent, the High Court of Australia. The subject of glowing reviews, various monographs and a small number of lavishly-produced editions the best, Mnemosyne , was prefaced by an erudite appreciation by David Malouf, one of the country's finest writers, and New Yorker critic Peter Schjeldahl , he also represented his country magnificently at the Venice Biennale. As I wandered through the Australian Pavilion that year, I recall experiencing an emotion conspicuously absent from previous visits; it was actual pride. But late last week, Henson's reputation took something of a battering, when New South Wales police and detectives from the Child Protection and Sex Crimes Unit, acting on a complaint from an anti-child abuse campaigner, confiscated 20 of his photographs from the Roslyn Oxley 9 Gallery in Sydney, where his latest exhibition was scheduled to open this week.
