Archibald Prize 2008



Well there you go. Last week I published a blog entry on my favourite artist, Del Kathryn Barton and on Friday she was announced as the winner of one of Australia's premier art competitions - The Archibald Prize 2008. She won for her work titled You are what is so beautiful about me, a self portrait with Kell and Arella (pictured). She received $50,000 for her efforts and I am very stoked for her. I guess this means I will definitely never afford any of her works. Oh well. You can read more about it here. Congratulations Del Kathryn!

I concur... that woman has a gift for producing stunning art works! Congrats to her! Hurray for the judges getting it right... cant say the same for So Yu think Yu Can Dance judges unfortunately... not that the Archibald Prize and a reality TV show quite compare but still...come on guys! :)
