JANET LAURENCE: The matter of the masters will soon be on display at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Inspired by research and analysis undertaken on Dutch paintings in the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands by conservators, Laurence will present a magnificent cabinet of curiosities that probes the intersection between art, science and nature in the work of Rembrandt and other Dutch masters. The installation will be on view from 11 November 2017 to 18 February 2018, to coincide with the major blockbuster, Rembrandt and the Dutch Golden Age.
An artist talk will be held on Saturday 11 November 2017 at 2pm.
Janet Laurence will also be in conversation with Jordan Richardson on Wednesday 15 November 2017, 6 - 6:30pm at the Art Gallery of NSW.
