Late artist Andrew Sayers has produced a series of paintings distilled from notes and memories of three decades living and working in the nation’s capital, as well as time spent on the south coast of New South Wales.
Andrew was director of the National Museum of Australia from 2010 to 2013 and the inaugural director of the National Portrait Gallery from 1998 to 2010. In 2014 Andrew had his first solo exhibition as well as being a finalist in the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize. In 2015 he was a finalist in the Archibald Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales with a portrait of Tim Bonyhady.
