While physical artworks may not be able to travel this year, three Archibald-winning portraits by William Dobell (1899 – 1970), William Dargie (1912 – 2003) and Del Kathryn Barton will be making their way far and wide as postage stamps – a partnership between Australia Post and the Art Gallery of NSW (AGNSW) for its centenary year.
Selected from over 6,000 finalist works over the Archibald’s historic running since 1921, ‘the commemorative stamp issue is a wonderful way to share some of the key moments of the Archibald Prize and prominently celebrate the work of visual artists,’ said AGNSW Director Dr Michael Brand.
