Salon des Refuses 2024
The Salon des Refus茅s was initiated by the S.H. Ervin Gallery in 1992 in response to the large number of works entered into the Archibald Prize which were not selected for display in the official exhibition. The Archibald Prize is one of Australia鈥檚 most high profile and respected awards which attracts hundreds of entries each year and the S.H. Ervin Gallery鈥檚 鈥榓lternative鈥� selection has become a much-anticipated feature of the Sydney scene.
Each year our panel is invited to go behind the scenes of the judging process for the annual Archibald Prize for portraiture and Wynne Prize for landscape painting and figure sculpture at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, to select an exhibition from the many hundreds of works entered in both prizes but not chosen for the official award exhibition.
The Salon des Refus茅s exhibition at the S.H. Ervin Gallery has established an excellent reputation that rivals the selections in the 鈥榦fficial鈥� exhibition, with works selected for quality, diversity, humour and experimentation, and which examine contemporary art practices, different approaches to portraiture and responses to the landscape.
