The Yellow House Pop Up Gallery

Overview

The Yellow House leaves the '70s behind this September 8-15 for History Week as part of an exhibition that celebrates creative artists and muses across the decades. The Yellow House exhibition, inspired by the 1970s artist collective, will display the works of five renowned contemporary Aussie artists who’ve each taken inspiration from legendary artistic figures from Sydney’s past.

Reg Mombassa pays homage to 1960s pop artist and Cream cover art designer Martin Sharp; Leo Robba takes inspiration from 1930s photojournalist Samuel Hood; Jane Gillings recreates the 1920s girl and ‘Queen of Bohemia’, Dulcie Deamer; Wendy Sharpe pays tribute to the 1950s cabaret artiste Tracey Lee; while Jenny Sages channels 1940s interior and wallpaper designer Florence Broadhurst in her works for this dynamic installation.

Forget Andy Warhol’s factory and Hotel Chelsea, join some local talent down at David Jones. I mean, Martin Sharp and Florence Broadhurst-esque works in the one room? Unbeatable.

On September 7, the On Seven at David Jones space will play host to the Artists' Ball, a contemporary reimagining of the bohemian Sydney Artist Ball of 1933.
