A new salon-style group exhibition at Melbourne's Magnet Gallery, Excessive 80s, showcases the city during the 1980s.
"We have attracted an amazing group of photographers, many of whom were or still are working newspaper photographers," Magnet Gallery director Michael Silver said.
"The images capture the Zeitgeist – the people, events, fashions, music, politics, work and play," Silver said.
Work from a large range of photographers is included in the exhibition, including images from former The Age photographer Bruce Postle and the newspaper's picture editor Leigh Henningham.
Other photographers include Norm Orloff, Ilana Rose, Andrew Chapman and Rennie Ellis.
Excessive 80s will open on January 8 at Magnet Gallery, 2/640 Bourke Street, Melbourne.
