Australians probably best know the work of British artist Thomas J Price for his imposing three-metre sculptures that were positioned front and centre in Federation Court for NGV Triennial 2023.

Suzanne Cotter, MCA Australia Director, said, “Thomas’ work is boldly dramatic and irresistibly generous in its call to see one another as we are and its cues for deeper human connection. We are excited for the many visitors to this culturally and significant site to access and experience his art at all times of the day.”
