Saw the Sidney Nolan Retrospective at the Art Gallery of New South Wales on a rather damp Sydney afternoon yesterday.
He considered himself, for various reasons, an “artist warrior”, but aside from the stunning artwork, the biggest thing I got a kick out of was seeing his hand written journal in one of the showcases. Sidney Nolan would have been the consummate blogger I think.
Also had a peep at Artexpress, which just opened yesterday. Standing room only, no pun intended, and it wasn’t hard to see why, Artexpress lived up to the usual very high standard. I’ll have to go back for another look on a slightly quieter day.
