Ep 50 Tracey Moffatt

(A conversation with Amanda Love)

To celebrate the new year AND the 50 th post for AWA (!!!) I wanted to start with a personal favourite artist - Tracey Moffatt. 

There’s an argument to say Tracey Moffatt is probably Australia’s most successful artist ever, both nationally and internationally. She is certainly one of the few Australian artists to have established a global market for her work. 

A filmmaker as well as photographer, Tracey has held around 100 solo exhibitions of her work in Europe, the United States and Australia. In 2017, she had the rare honour of representing Australia at the 57th Venice Biennale with her solo exhibition, "My Horizon".

To discuss artist Tracey Moffatt, I’m joined in this podcast conversation by Amanda Love. 

Amanda is the principal at the fabulously named Love Art Advisory and is one of Australia’s most insightful and influential figures in contemporary art. She has been an independent art advisor and active art advocate for over 30 years, and an integral part of the international Art Basel network. She has served on the Board of Artspace and the Biennale of Sydney, Australia's largest contemporary art event, for over 10 years. She is not only a passionate collector, she has a Masters in Fine Arts (Hons) and holds the Christies Diploma of Fine Art, been an accredited valuer for over 20 years and has spoken as an expert on contemporary art in Australia and overseas, including at the State Library, NSW, National Gallery of Scotland, Arco in Madrid, the MCA, Sydney, the AGNSW, and Melbourne's Heide Museum. She has lectured for Christies Australia and regularly advised on Australian Art Collector Magazine's 50 Most Important Artists selection Panel.

For photos of Tracey’s work I’ll be posting a separate post in my instagram account, @australianwomenartists.
