Travel Pick: Art and Archaeology in Australia Sydney Nolan
Sydney Nolan AUSTRALIA SYDNEY • Art Gallery of New South Wales • 2 November 2007 - 3 February 2008
This exhibition, the first major retrospective since Nolan's death in 1992, presents a selection of his most important masterpieces of landscape, Ned Kelly, and other themes of Australian and European history. Consisting of 116 works, this new retrospective underlines the evolution of Nolan's vision from its genesis in St Kilda during the late 1930s to the United Kingdom a half a century later when the artist finally released his passion for large-scale spray-painted abstractions.
