Smith & Singer

Artists Represented

Smith & Singer proudly represents the following artists and estates

Albert Tucker

   

Smith & Singer are the exclusive agent who represents the Albert & Barbara Tucker Foundation. 

Albert Tucker belongs to the generation of Australian artists – which included Russell Drysdale and Sidney Nolan – whose images of rural and outback Australia defined for many what it was to be Australian.  Tucker’s first sustained series of the Australian landscape evolved during his period in Europe and the United States of America between 1947 and 1960. Living abroad, Tucker reflected upon his ‘Australianness’ and developed images that both acknowledged his European experiences and simultaneously introduced new techniques that influenced his subsequent iconography.

Compared to many of his contemporaries, Tucker produced relatively few paintings.  A large percentage of these reside in public institutions, including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Heide Museum of Modern Art, Melbourne; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; and Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane.

David Larwill

Smith & Singer are the exclusive agent who represents the Estate of the Late David Larwill.

David Larwill is represented in numerous important public, corporate and private collections in Australia and overseas: including the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; Museum of Modern Art at Heide, Melbourne; The Australian Football League Collection, Melbourne; The Holmes à Court Collection, Perth and the British Museum, London.
