“Sydney Contemporary is actually my favourite art fair. Anywhere,” says Natalia Ottolenghi Bradshaw. Natalia is the chair of the UNSW Galleries Advisory Board, Australian Museum Foundation Trustee, and Member UNSW Faculty Arts, Design and Architecture Advisory Council. She is also a highly regarded art advisor and collections manager with a known eye for the work of established and emerging artists.
“It’s a rigorous celebration of our robust local visual arts ecosystem, one that is dynamic and of exceptional quality,” says Natalia of the art fair, which runs 8-11 September 2022.
“It’s hard to pick just 10 galleries amongst the many more participating in Sydney Contemporary – but these came to mind (listed alphabetically!) – because I deal with them often, know many of their artists personally, and know that these galleries look after their artists well,” she says.
“They also show ‘museum quality’ work that in the main is a requisite of what I look for – and certainly not an indication of price, as some works I’m visualising in this list are less than $3000.”
