Melbourne Exhibition Opens - SIDNEY NOLAN: Property Formerly from the Collection of Lord McAlpine

September 5, 2023

 SIDNEY NOLAN Property formerly from the collection of  Lord McAlpine

The exhibition will be on view in Melbourne from Wednesday 6 September – Sunday 10 September, 10 am to 5 pm, at 14-16 Collins Street.

This remarkable collection of 42 paintings by Australia’s most internationally celebrated and collected artist, spans Sidney Nolan’s highly productive and inventive career from 1957 to 1987.  Significant examples from Nolan’s Eliza Fraser, Ned Kelly, African, Bathers, Oedipus, Gallipoli, and Silk Road series are represented by large-scale compositions in oil and synthetic polymer paint on canvas and composition board that reveal the artist as the truly extraordinary innovator and trailblazer for which he is justly renowned.

All works in the sale carry the same modest estimate of $15,000–25,000 and represent exceptional buying.

Following Melbourne, the Sydney exhibition will take place from Thursday 14 September – Monday 18 September from 10 am – 5 pm, and on Tuesday 19 September from 10 am – 2 pm, at 30 Queen Street, Woollahra.

The auction will be held at Smith & Singer, 30 Queen Street, Woollahra at 6.30 pm on 19 September 2023.
