The Edmund Capon Fellowship
A worthy fundraising event for the Edmund Capon Fellowship, Art Gallery of New South Wales, was presented as a special auction feature with 'celebrity auctioneer' Edmund Capon providing an entertaining interlude within the evening's proceedings. Works generously donated by the six prominent artists: Bill Henson, Lindy Lee, John Olsen, Alex Seton, Tim Storrier and Guan Wei raised an impressive total of $128,150
"I have always seen this hitherto unfulfilled program as a way for the AGNSW to work with institutions in the Asian region to great mutual benefit: a way for us to see here greater depth and variety of the arts of Asia and, conversely and every bit as importantly, a way to showcase Australian art through Asia." - Edmund Capon
Neil Balnaves AO, Dr John Yu AC and others have already made significant contributions to the Edmund Capon Fellowship, ensuring its future.
