Franco Belgiorno-Nettis was also instrumental in exporting Australian art overseas, by assisting in the establishment of Australia's pavilion at the Venice Biennale. In 1988, painter Arthur Boyd was exhibited in the Philip Cox-designed Australian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, built by Transfield and officially opened by Federal Industrial Relations Minister Ralph Willis on 24 June of that year.
