UPCOMING EXHIBITION
Held in Line
We are delighted to announce a special exhibition at Hugo Modern & Contemporary, celebrating the work and legacy of Diane Victor’s annual workshop at Muratie Wine Estate - a space that has, over the years, fostered remarkable artistic growth, rigorous conceptual enquiry, and extraordinary levels of production.
The exhibition will explore the breadth of themes, concepts, and investigations that Diane encouraged students to pursue and

Opening August 8th, 2026
At Hugo Modern & Contemporary, Jeanne Hugo offers discreet, professional guidance to both private and corporate collectors. Whether you're starting a collection or refining an existing one, we help you source singular pieces or build cohesive groups of works that align with your budget, space, and vision.
We work independently across a wide network of artists, galleries, museums and auction houses to procure, exhibit, evaluate, or resell art with integrity and insight.
