The Art Gallery of NSW today unveiled its newest acquisition, marking the appointment of Director Michael Brand.
The work, Gospel 1972 by American artists Ed Ruscha has never been part of a public collection before and was chosen by Brand himself, after receiving an invitation from the Art Gallery Society of NSW through its Collection Circle acquisition program.
Brand says he has always been drawn to the Ruscha’s work, saying, ‘I was highly honoured that the Art Gallery Society made this very generous gesture and when asked to choose a work, I immediately started thinking of Ed Ruscha.’
