Barbara Tribe archive
Based in Great Britain for most of her adult life, Barbara Tribe (1913–2000) is one of Australia’s most significant 20th-century sculptors, recognised for her work with Rayner Hoff and for her own figurative and portrait sculptures.
The Barbara Tribe archive at the Art Gallery of New South Wales was assembled by the artist and is her main archival collection, thoroughly documenting her life and art from the time of her art studies until her death.
