In a dry landscape, this haunting Drysdale could set a new record – Sydney Morning Herald
The 1941 painting ‘Going to the Pictures’ depicts drought and pride in the Australian outback, and is tipped to become the artist’s most valued work.
Auctioneers Deutscher and Hackett hope that – despite the pandemic changing the art buying landscape – this painting will set a new record for a Drysdale in their Twenty Classics of Australian Art auction on November 11.
