Max Dupain

The State Library of NSW's Definitive Dupain, free until 18 July 2027, is the first retrospective to cover the full sweep of Max Dupain's sixty-year career. Curator Avryl Whitnall spent five years in the Library's archive of more than 250,000 negatives and prints. From it she has drawn almost 200 images, ranging from Sunbaker to architecture, fashion, war and intimate personal work, many of them never seen before. Michael Reid's Max Dupain: A Nation on the Sand (until March, 2027, Chippendale) is the market's counterpoint. It offers twenty prints for sale, led by Sunbaker, Bondi and At Newport, alongside surf scenes, nudes and modernist experiments.

Margaret Preston: A Collection of Important Prints

The National Gallery of Victoria's, Margaret Preston, the first retrospective of the artist in more than twenty years, runs at NGV Australia, Fed Square, until 31 January 2027. It follows Preston from Adelaide through Paris, Mosman and Berowra, and presents her both as the architect of Australian modernism and as a figure still debated for her appropriation of First Nations design. In Sydney, Michael Reid offers a rare companion to it: eight woodcuts made between 1925 and 1939. They run from Native Flowers, which appeared on the cover of Art in Australia, to the unique Berowra impression Old Banksia Tree. The prints are offered together as one indivisible collection for $255,000.
