The Lester Prize
Published on September 25, 2024
Congratulations to ARC Living Master Vicki Sullivan for winning the Highly Commended Prize in the Lester Portrait Prize competition.
“Vicki Sullivan’s ‘Fiona with Walkabout Wickets’ depicts the renowned Aboriginal woman artist Fiona Clarke, whose artwork Walkabout Wickets is worn by Australian men and women cricket teams whenever they play. Fiona is also the relative of two of the members of the team of Aboriginal men cricketers who were in fact the first team of cricketers to represent this country in 1866. Fiona sits proudly with her painting, both on the wall behind her and emblazoned on her T-shirt just visible beneath her robe.”
The Lester Prize Main Awards exhibition will be held at Western Australian Museum, Perth Cultural Center, WA 6000, Australia from 13 September to 27 October 2024.
