Sidney Nolan: A New Retrospective

6 June – 28 September 2008
Gallery 4, QAG

This exhibition, the first major retrospective since Nolan's death in 1992, presents a selection of his most important masterpieces of landscape, Ned Kelly, and other themes from Australian and European history. This new retrospective underlines the evolution of Nolan's vision from its genesis in St Kilda during the late 1930s to the United Kingdom half a century later, when the artist made large-scale spray-painted abstractions.
