{"product_id":"whiteley-brett-sydney-harbour-bridg-12904","title":"Brett Whiteley 'Sydney Harbour Bridge'","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of Australia’s most iconic artists, Brett Whiteley was deeply preoccupied with the relationship between self and place, often questioning the extent to which environment shapes identity. This inquiry is powerfully expressed in his depictions of Lavender Bay, the small Sydney suburb that housed his studio and home, where landscape becomes inseparable from lived experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhiteley's 1977 etching 'Sydney Harbour Bridge' engages directly with place. From an elevated vantage point, Whiteley looks down across the harbour, tracing its rhythms, signs of life, and sweeping curves. The bridge, monolithic in the landscape, appears not just as a landmark, but as a living, breathing form. This continues throughout the scene - the curve of the harbour, the boats, and city buildings are all animated by movement, rendered by Whiteley with a striking sense of intimacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong Australia’s most celebrated artists, Whiteley won the Art Gallery of NSW Archibald, Wynne and Sulman prizes several times. ‘Sydney Harbour Bridge’ is a highly collectable etching that will delight Sydney-siders and admirers of Whiteley. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrett WHITELEY (1962 - 1992)\u003cbr\u003e'Sydney Harbour Bridge' 1977\u003cbr\u003eetching on paper\u003cbr\u003eEdition of 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eImage Size\u003c\/i\u003e: 60 x 45 cm \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDimensions\u003c\/i\u003e: 75 x 53 cm \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSigned\u003c\/i\u003e: Signed and numbered below image\u003cbr\u003eComes with Letter of Provenance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLiterature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mandy, R., Brett Whiteley: The Complete Graphics, 1961-1982, Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth, 1983, p.30, cat.35 (illus., another example).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrett Whiteley: The Graphics 1961-1992, Deutscher Fine Art, Melbourne, 1995,p.112, cat.46 (illus. p.54, another example).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSutherland, K., Brett Whiteley: Catalogue Raisonne, Schwartz Publishing, Melbourne, 2020, vol.5, p.71, cat.75P (illus., another example), vol.7, p.821.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCondition: \u003cstrong\u003eVery Good:\u003c\/strong\u003e Describes a work of art’s image As New, but may show some small signs of surrounding wear.
