An Australian icon – of sorts – is the subject of this year’s Packing Room gong at the Archibald Prize.
Tim Storrier has been awarded the Packing Room Prize for his portrait of Barry Humpries’ alter ego, Dr Sir Leslie Colin Patterson KCB AO – or the larger-than-life Sir Les, as he’s commonly known. The Packing Room Prize is selected by the Art Gallery of NSW staff and storeman Steve Peters as they receive and prepare the entries for the Archibald proper.
The Archibald Prize 2014 is on view from Saturday July 19 – Sunday September 28 at the Art Gallery of NSW.
