There are too many contemporary art galleries and not enough saleable living artists to go around them, according to veteran gallerist Tim Olsen, who intends to spend less time helping talent break through and more on a new business selling second-hand pictures from established names.
The son of celebrated expressionist John Olsen has since 1993 represented living artists from his Olsen Gallery in Sydney’s Paddington, helping cement the mighty reputation of his father, who died last year at 95, but also bringing to prominence younger artists such as landscapist Nicholas Harding and abstract painters Sophie Cape and Michael Cusack.
