The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia

This guide to the Ian Potter Centre in Melbourne follows a clerk named Bill Potter, who stepped off a train in 1929 and quietly reinvented himself as Ian, letting Melbourne assume he came from money he didn't have. It traces his rise through the stockbroking world, his knighthood in 1962, and a second reinvention in 1967 when he walked away from finance to fund ballet, opera and galleries instead. He died in 1994, having never seen what his name would come to stand over.
