Abstract

The inaugural exhibition of finalists of the National Sculpture Prize and Exhibition features recent works by some of Australia’s most inventive and accomplished sculptors, selected by a panel of eminent artists and curators. The National Sculpture Prize and Exhibition was established in 2000 as a partnership between the National Gallery of Australia and Macquarie Bank Limited to promote and support sculpture in Australia and to recognise outstanding works. A prize of $50,000 was awarded for the winning work, making it one of the richest sculpture prizes in this country. [Gallery media, 2001]
