• The only paintings acquired by public collections before 1970 were through Maude Rowe's bequests to the Ballarat and Castlemaine Galleries. Beckett is as yet meagrely represented in the National Gallery of Victoria with two minor paintings and by scattered examples in the Regional Galleries of Victoria. The Australian National Gallery, Canberra has been, so far, the only collection to take Beckett's work seriously
