The four works have been commissioned during the past twelve months, and included the portrait of the seventh and current Warden, Professor Andrew McGowan, painted by Australian artist duo Charles Green and Lyndell Brown.

The other three works unveiled were Yvette Coppersmith's portrait of Rupert Myer AM (TC 1976), recently appointed chairman of the Australia Council in July 2012, the Federal Government's arts funding and advisory body; Senior Fellow, historian and former Dean, Professor John Poynter AO (TC 1948), by Julia Ciccarone; and distinguished architect Neil Everist (TC 1951), a founding partner in the firm Everist and McGlashan who were responsible for building the College's Memorial Building ('Jeopardy') and the Old Warden's Lodge, whose portrait was painted by Lianne Gough.

The College's Portrait Collection continues to both honour the remarkable achievements of past students and friends of the College, as well as representing some of the finest artists of Australian portraiture, and the four new additions are no exception. A newly published 'Guide to the Portrait Collection' was available for the occasion, and copies can be obtained from the residential campus reception.
