Gould Galleries Directors Choice 2015
One of the country's leading private art dealers breaks out the big-gun Australian modernist masterpieces.
Overview
Gould Galleries is currently celebrating its 35th birthday by exhibiting works from some of Australia’s most influential artists. Robert Gould is regarded as one of Australia’s leading commercial gallerists and private art dealers; he's dealt with some bigwig buyers in the past (such as Rupert Murdoch and Elton John) but has been well known for his discretion when it comes to his clients. In the pas,t Gould Galleries has famously exhibited works by Australia’s most important 19th and 20th century artists, as well as a select group of Australia’s most dynamic contemporary artists.
The Director’s Choice Anniversary Exhibition, currently on display at Gould Galleries, features five Australian modernist masterpieces. These include Sidney Nolan’s, Head (Ned Kelly), Charles Blackman’s The Friends, Robert Dickerson’s The Late Shopper, Brett Whiteley’s Galah, and Howard Arkley’s Actual Fractual. While these are certainly important pieces, the exhibition as a whole is a brilliant reflection of Australia’s artistic landscape, and should not be missed.
