The Biennale
The Venice Biennale has been a rite of every second spring since 1895. The oldest biennial art fair in the world, it’s the one on which all the others are based. Australia has only been participating since 1954 — starting with Sidney Nolan, Russell Drysdale and William Dobell. This year, it’s Tracey Moffatt, the first solo Indigenous artist to represent the country.
