The small entry gallery at the Portrait Gallery has about 10 works by Judy Cassab on display right now. It is always great to have an idea about the artists whose work you see often. I used to be a big patron of St Mark’s Theological Library and there was a painting of Burgman in the foyer. It is a Cassab in the exhibition. I had no idea who had done it. The portrait Gallery has had a pipe holding youthful picture of Sir Frank Packer on display for a long time. Those are two of the small sample on display.
The gallery sheets that are available give a great sense of an artist with a passion to excel in portraiture and her practice over many decades of production.
