NOLAN'S AFRICA

Nolan's Africa by Andrew Turley reveals the undocumented history of Nolan's once famous, now practically forgotten, African Journey exhibition, which was privately viewed by Queen Elizabeth before premiering at London's Marlborough Galleries in 1963.

Turley follows the artist's journey from Auschwitz to the formation of the World Wildlife Fund, and on through Tanzania, Uganda and Ethiopia. The book explores in detail the mid-century influences Nolan was absorbing and channeling: the legacies of colonialism, globalisation, global conflict and animal extinctions.

International collaboration to advance the understanding and contemporary relevance of Sidney Nolan's work is an important part of the Trust's purpose, and we are excited to play a part in this publication. In the coming weeks and months we will share paintings, some of Nolan's photographs and the work we've been doing with Andrew to shed new light on this significant yet unknown period of Sidney's career.
