Franklin Palais Event
A documentary film on the life and art of Keith Looby Tuesday 23rd February (tonight) at 7PM.
Throughout 2020-21, to mark 100 years of the Archibald Prize, we re partnering with organisations across Australia to present FREE SCREENINGS of LOOBY a film that captures the art, life and times of the competitions most controversial winner.
Artist Keith Looby and his work have been unjustly erased, film producer Sean Murphy says. Looby's awards include the Archibald Prize (1984). He lived in Canberra in the 1970s and the 1990s, and was named Canberra Artist of the Year in 1992. Looby's works have been exhibited by many galleries in Australia and overseas. But, Murphy says, Looby's works have been removed from both private and public galleries around Australia and he is largely unknown to the new generation of curators - Canberra Times.
