abstract:John Wren (3 April 1871 – 26 October 1953) was an Australian businessman and underworld figure. He has become a legendary figure thanks mainly to a fictionalised account of his life in Frank Hardy's novel Power Without Glory, which was also made into a television series.
Wall texts, drawings, photographs and videos, under the supervision of art historian and guest curator Owen Hopkins, trace Hawksmoor's collaborations with Wren and John Vanbrugh, as well as his solo commissions in London and elsewhere in England.
