The achievements and significance <strong>of</strong><br />

Whiteley’s London period have been<br />

generally overwhelmed by Whiteley’s<br />

successes <strong>of</strong> the l970s and his celebrity<br />

as Australia’s ‘Golden Boy’. Yet, it was in<br />

London during the 1960s that Whiteley<br />

forged an international reputation as he<br />

achieved success that was nothing short<br />

<strong>of</strong> meteoric. Although unknown when<br />

he arrived in 1960, within four years he<br />

could boast sales to the Tate and Victoria<br />

and Albert Galleries, a glittering array <strong>of</strong><br />

international prizes, consecutive London<br />

exhibitions and a contract with London’s<br />

prestigious Marlborough <strong>Gallery</strong>.<br />

The 2012 lecture explores this phase<br />

as one <strong>of</strong> unique inventiveness in the<br />

Whiteley oeuvre. Comparisons with later<br />

works will show how the sculptural<br />

and painterly techniques, themes and<br />

concepts introduced during this decade<br />

were crucial, providing a well from which<br />

he would continue to draw inspiration<br />

throughout his creative life.<br />

Kathie Sutherland is an art advisor,<br />

curator, researcher and writer. During<br />

her long career in the arts, she has held<br />

senior executive positions with both<br />

Sotheby’s and Christie’s. Brett Whiteley: A<br />
