9 Shades of Whiteley

14 February - 26 April 2009 

Brett Whiteley’s talent and energy are legendary in Australian art. This Art Gallery of New South Wales travelling exhibition traces the nine phases of the artist’s life and career – from his earliest painting Self portrait at sixteen 1955 to Port Douglas, far North Queensland 1992, painted just a few months before his death. Works by Whiteley from the Gallery’s collection will augment the travelling exhibition.
