The hotly anticipated prelude to the Archibald Prize, the Packing Room winner is selected by gallery staff.
The Archibald Prize is the probably the country's most well-known artistic competition. Almost as eagerly awaited is the Packing Room Prize, a wildcard award that was introduced to the Archibalds in 1991. This year, a portrait of one of the country's hottest musical acts has enchanted the Art Gallery of New South Wales' staff, who select the Packing Room winner.
"I have also included a reflection of the Arnhem Land landscape in his eyes to symbolise the profound connection between his cultural heritage and his artistic narrative." The Packing Room Prize comes with $3000 dollars for the winning artist. It's not the only time a portrait of a staunch Indigenous figure took out the top gong.
