Kaldor Public Arts Projects 1969-2009

Kaldor Public Arts Projects 1969-2009 (2.5/5)

Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney.

11th October 2009


Kaldor’s sponsorship of public art is worthy and rewarding. This exhibit of plans, models and photographs from 19 installations fails to scale such highs, being neither artistic nor informative. Contrast this with Kaldor’s latest project – Tatzu Nishi’s War and peace and in between. Two familiar sculptures that for years have flanked the Gallery’s portico become intriguing centrepieces in Nishi’s lounge and bedroom built around each figure; challenging with a touch of humour, worthy public art.
