In a scramble of media, and onlooking gallery staff and trustees, Tony Costa has joined the alumni of Australia’s most high profile art prize.
He won the 2019 Archibald Prize with a portrait of former Art Gallery of NSW (AGNSW) Trustee Lindy Lee, who was not at the announcement having just installed a major artwork in New York’s Chinatown.
