AustralianWildflowers, Still Life and Streetscapes

(editors Trevor Andersen and Robin Wines) 

Associated with an exhibition at Australian Galleries in 2006, an extensive catalogue was prepared, with quality illustrations of Fletcher's work.

It also contains three articles which give insights into the work of the Foundation, Bill's personality and his artistic output, respectively:

The Foreword – Kenneth W Tribe, Patron and first chairman

Bill Remembered - Terence Clarke AM

The Critique – John McDonald – Art Critic Sydney Morning Herald

This 2006 publication contains not only illustrations of the works exhibited but also an extension of the major catalogue of 444 works in the 1983 book.

The extension lists 44 additional works, identified over the last 20 years.
