28 June - 31 August 2025

Drawn from the collections of the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Brett Whiteley Studio, Brett Whiteley: Inside the Studio presents a selection of Whiteley’s works across various media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, collage and ceramics.

Featuring iconic paintings and early abstractions alongside rarely seen archival photographs depicting Whiteley at work (and sometimes at play) in studios across London, New York and Sydney, Inside the Studio offers a glimpse into Whiteley’s creative world and considers the role of his studio spaces in the scale and context of his works and an extension of his artistic identity.

Brett Whiteley: Inside the Studio will be a free, ticketed exhibition. To get notified about tickets and related events, sign up to our e-newsletter below:
