Brett Whiteley created some of the most important paintings of twentieth century Australian Art. Of his 1970's masterpieces the bird paintings are among the most beautiful. The current work was purchased through Robin Gibson Gallery where Whiteley exhibited his birds in 1979 to great acclaim. The painting has only ever been in one collection. Three of Brett Whiteley's most memorable solo exhibitions were devoted to the theme in 1979, 1983, 1988. The bird paintings follow on from Whiteley's time in New York, a very difficult period marked by the culmination of Alchemy 1973, Whiteley's monumental masterpiece which almost overwhelmed him in the attempt. They were completed around 1978 when he became the first and only artist to win all three of the Art Gallery of New South Wales prestigious painting prizes; the Archibald, the Wynne and the Sulman.

Brett Whiteley is represented in the National Gallery of Australia, all state galleries, many regional galleries, as well as many important public collections both in Australia and overseas including the Tate Gallery London.
