On Australian art abroad

It’s been perplexing to watch my father paint for 70 years and not truly ‘crack’ Europe or America. He probably won’t live to see the shift in global art collecting. Being a true believer, I don’t want to stand to see another generation of great Australian artists remain relevant in just this hemisphere. Last year I opened a small gallery in New York. What started as a small pop-up is now a lively, ongoing concern. If Zimmermann is in the Hamptons then Australian art needs to be on the Lower East Side and then in London, Rome and beyond.
