About this experience
The Art Gallery of New South Wales Nolan Origins Exhibition is a museum exhibition in Sydney presenting the most comprehensive survey of Sidney Nolan's formative Australian years in nearly two decades. The exhibition focuses on the period that shaped Nolan as a painter, drawing on works from his early career including the celebrated Ned Kelly series, his Wimmera landscapes, and paintings that established his distinctive approach to Australian myth and place. Visitors to Sydney attractions with an interest in Australian art will find this one of the most substantive single-artist exhibitions currently on offer in the city. Entry is self-guided with no set time limit, allowing visitors to move through the galleries at their own pace and spend as long as they choose with individual works. The exhibition traces Nolan's development from his early experimental paintings through to the works that brought him national recognition, with contextual material that places each body of work within its historical and biographical setting. Tickets cover general admission to the Nolan Origins Exhibition and are valid for a single visit during the exhibition's run at the gallery in Sydney.
Highlights
- Explore 100 major works from the painter who rewrote Australia's visual mythology, in the first major AGNSW Nolan survey in nearly 20 years.
- The Ned Kelly series (1946-47), painted in enamel on composition board, anchors the show alongside loaned works from public and private collections.
- Explore five distinct Australian landscapes, from St Kilda and Wimmera to Central Australia, tracing how geography shaped his singular visual language.
- Self-guided access over a four-month run; Wednesday evenings stay open until 10pm for a quieter gallery visit.
- Several works carry Cultural Objects on Loan Act 2013 protection, making this gathering of pieces unlikely to recur once the show ends.
