172 digital photographs documenting Peter Kingston's house and garden in Lavender Bay, New South Wales.

After Peter Kingston's death in 2022, Joy Lai and Russell Perkins from the State Library of New South Wales visited Peter's home with his sister Fairlie Kingston. Joy Lai photographed Peter's home with his belongings, art and art materials still in situ, and Russell Perkins created floor plans which plot establishing shots of each floor of the house for orientation. The images document in detail each part of the house and garden, and provide an insight into Peter Kingston's working life and studio home.

Also included are photographs of Fairlie Kingston, taken at Peter's house on 15 and 28 November 2022.

Peter Kingston (1943-2022) was a renowned Australian artist based in Sydney who practised as a painter, printmaker, cartoonist, sculptor, and filmmaker over 40 years. His iconic home in Lavender Bay, New South Wales, located next door to friends Brett and Wendy Whiteley, served as his home studio, and was where he was inspired to create many of his artworks of Sydney Harbour and surrounds.
