Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes 2024

Art Gallery of New South Wales recently announced the finalists of this year’s Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes – three of this country’s most closely watched cultural accolades – and we are thrilled to share the news that two artists from the Michael Reid Sydney + Berlin stable have been selected for the class of 2024.

Fresh from the announcement of our representation of Megan Hales, the Eora/Sydney artist has been named a finalist in the Sir John Sulman Prize for her dazzlingly cinematic, staggering hyperreal nocturne Long Night.

Joining Hales at the Art Gallery of New South Wales is Naarm/Melbourne artist Juan Ford, whose extraordinary painting At the peak has been shortlisted for the Wynne Prize. This is Ford’s fifth nomination for the prestigious award, and the news arrives just as we gear up for a special release of new works by the artist – his first since joining the gallery’s stable last year.

Selected from close to 3000 submissions across the three prizes, the artists’ shortlisted works – Long Night and At the peak – are now available to acquire from Michael Reid Sydney and will be on view at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in the Archibald, Wynne and Sulman exhibition from next Saturday, 8 June, to Sunday, 8 September.
