We sat down with Russh Magazine to discuss to our new gallery space and the secondary art market in Australia
A SECONDARY EYE HAS RELOCATED TO SYDNEY
A Secondary Eye has recently relocated to Sydney, and occupies a prime position on the corner of Queen and Moncur streets, above a flower store and cafe. From up on high, the gallery overlooks what has long been Sydney’s prestige strip for secondary market galleries and auction houses. The gallery opened with a solo presentation of Rover Thomas, spanning two decades of his career. As one of Australia’s most important and influential artists, Thomas was the first Indigenous artist to represent Australia at the Venice Biennale in 1990, alongside Trevor Nickolls. Titled “Rover: Master of the Kimberley”, the exhibition features many works never before seen by the public.
A Secondary Eye acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises the continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. We pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past and present.
