MAJOR ACQUISTION
We are thrilled to announce that JOHN DAVIS epic sculptural work ‘Nomad’ has been acquired by the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
Nomad was a key piece in the posthumous survey, John Davis: Presence, at the National Gallery of Victoria in 2010. A pinnacle of the artist’s delicate sculptural constructions, ‘Nomad’ is an enormous grid of the artist’s signature fish-forms. Each fish-form is painstakingly modelled in eucalyptus twigs, string, paper, calico and bituminous paint. An extraordinary display of Davis’ sensitivity to the architecture of the wilderness.
