SYDNEY HAS ITS EYE ON A NEW GALLERY
Sydney’s art scene continues to expand at a remarkable rate, this month seeing A Secondary Eye open its doors in Woollahra. The name of the gallery reflects its aim, with directors Jesse-Jack De Deyne and Boris Cornelissen seeking to use the space to showcase secondary market treasures from Australian and international contemporary artists. The gallery will also have a focus on First Nations art and artists, a speciality of De Deyne’s.
Initially based in Brisbane, A Secondary Eye has now chosen to relocate to an area well known for its secondary market dealers, with Woollahra having once hosted Rex Irwin Gallery, Sotheby’s and Christie’s, and currently boasts auction house stalwarts Bonhams, Shaprio Auctioneers, Leonard Joel, and Smith & Singer. It is a prime location for the gallery to expand on its many successes since its foundation in 2020. Having already set an impressive track record of placing works in public, state and national collections, A Secondary Eye is one for the astute collector to keep an eye on.
