The Art Gallery of NSW sheds a few layers for summer with some of the world's incredible nudes.

Overview
There's a bit of an exodus at the Art Gallery of NSW at the moment. The Archibalds have left the building and Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera are shipping out in a few days. But the walls won't be bare for long. Actually, perhaps that's a poor choice of words.
From November 5, the Art Gallery of NSW bares all for the 2016 Sydney International Art Series, hosting a collection of art's most famous birthday suits from the Tate, London for Nude: art from the Tate collection. The exhibition features paintings, photos and sculpture from names like Picasso, Freud, Matisse and Rodin. Thought Turner just painted ships? Think again. Louise Bourgeois just made that giant creepy spider, right? Not even close. If you're keen to see what a human torso looks like next to a bunch of bananas, you're in luck.
Brett Whiteley said, "Most men, and certainly all artists… carry in their heads the great nude." For the next few months, you'll have the chance to see a few that escaped from the minds of the biggest wigs in art.
Nude: art from the Tate collection is part of the Sydney International Art Series and is showing at the same time as the Museum of Contemporary Art's Tatsuo Miyajima: Connect with Everything. If you're planning on seeing the two exhibitions, you can purchase an Art Pass and get 20 percent off both.
