For more than fifty years, Michael Leunig gently and brilliantly skewered the absurdities of everyday life. Now, as one of Australia’s most cherished and quietly missed voices, his work feels more luminous than ever. Spanning the political, cultural and philosophical, his visual world was one of whimsy, wit and a deep humanity.

This original drawing is a delightful showcase of Leunig’s trademark humour. A devoted ‘Leunig fan’ sleeps soundly in a room filled with Leunig-branded objects - from water jugs to bedspreads - each adorned with the artist’s familiar motifs. In imagining a home where everything can be ‘Leunig’, the cartoonist playfully turns his gaze on himself. Self-aware and lightly self-deprecating, the work offers a wry commentary on artistic identity and the pull of consumerism.

Instantly recognisable, ‘Untitled (Leunig collector)’ is a jewel for admirers of Leunig and collectors of works on paper. It is provenanced from the Leunig family’s private collection.
