Name: Courtney Kidd
Job Title: Art Consultant
What year did you join the Artbank team? 2003
Describe your role and what you enjoy about working for Artbank:
I came to this unique organisation from a background in visual arts writing and lecturing and this stood me in good stead for the role. Being passionate about the significance of art in contemporary Australian culture is an important part of it. In the position, I’ve acquired extensive knowledge of the Artbank collection and the unique place it holds as a leasing library of visual art. I enjoy the challenge of offering a high level of professional expertise while straddling commercial and artistic imperatives but the best bit is working with the terrific range of clients that utilise Artbank’s collection.
Favourite artwork from the Artbank collection: Sidney Nolan, Harbour Bridge, c.1979, crayon on paper.
Short explanation of your artwork selection:
Harbour Bridge by Sidney Nolan is one of my most favourite works in the Artbank collection. It is physically small and often small works get lost in large collections. However, the raw simplicity, fresh naivete and deftly applied gestures of colour make this exquisite crayon on paper object utterly mesmerising.
