This important collection of the work of Gloria Tamerre Petyarre and David Ross Pwerle has been held by the Heywood-Smith Family since 2003. The Stand Gallery has extensive documentation about how these works were ethically acquired and their provenance. They have been displayed at Divett Place Law Chambers and Anthony Mason Chambers for several years. 

In August 2023, Paul and Edie Heywood-Smith visited Musée du quai Branly in Paris, to review the connection of these two artists with that Indigenous Art Gallery.

It is interesting that both Gloria and David have connections to France and have been recognised by various institutions there, as significant  Aboriginal artists.  The number of exhibitions that these artist have had both nationally and overseas is extensive and their work has been recognised by many significant awards.
