AWW23: Artists and Their Legacies - Wendy Whiteley & Ashleigh Wilson

Chair: Katrina Strickland

Wendy Whiteley has long been responsible for Brett Whiteley’s legacy, but she is also an artist in her own right and an important figure in the Australian art world. How does the role of ’keeper of the flame’ impact on the inheritor of that task? Should we separate Brett Whiteley and his behavior from his art? Ashleigh Wilson talks about his year-long conversation with Wendy Whiteley and what he discovered about one of our most iconic ’brothers of the brush’.

Event details: Thu 09 Mar, 3:45pm on the West Stage
