Audiences can see first-hand many of the works that have defined Western art history, including Van Gogh’s much-loved Sunflowers, in the COVID-safe environment of Australia’s national capital.
Botticelli to Van Gogh: Masterpieces from the National Gallery, London is the first major international exhibition in Australia since COVID-19 closed international borders in March last year. The 60 works in the exhibition are the largest number ever to travel outside of the United Kingdom in the National Gallery’s 192-year history
National Gallery of Australia Director Nick Mitzevich said there had never been a better time to bring the joy and inspiration of a work like Sunflowers to Australian audiences
“Van Gogh’s Sunflowers is a work that has captivated international audiences for more than a century – it is one of the high points of 500 years of European art-making,” he said. “At a time when Australian audiences are unable to travel overseas, we are thrilled to be able to welcome visitors to Canberra to see this exclusive showcase of world-class art.”
