Thanks for joining us for the 2024 Sulman, Wynne and Archibald prizes.
About six per cent of you, dear readers, tipped the Archibald winner in our poll. The portrait with the most votes was Angus McDonald’s painting of Professor Marcia Langton AO, followed by the Packing Room Prize winner – a portrait of rapper Baker Boy, by street artist Matt Adnate.
Laura Jones (right) was also a subject this year, in finalist Daniel Kim’s ‘Blue jeans and flowers’.
Archibald winner Laura Jones noted in her acceptance speech that she was only the 12th woman to win the prize that has been running for more than 100 years. This year, men still dominated the finalist field across the three prizes.
If you’re keen to see the paintings in person, the exhibition featuring artworks by the three art prize finalists opens at the Art Gallery of NSW on June 8 and continues until September 8.
It will then tour regional NSW and the Northern Territory.
Until next year, thanks for sharing the event with us.
