In a special issue to start the new year, our cover artist Truc Truong is one of our ‘10 Artists to Watch in 2024’! Find out who the further nine artists are, with insightful words from many of Australia’s best arts writers, curators and critics. After a year of record art fair attendance and sales, we look at how the Melbourne Art Fair is going annual, plus we have in-depth conversations with Brent Harris and Diana Baker Smith, and visit Christopher Bassi’s stunning Brisbane studio. Alongside insightful writing on John Nixon, Brenda L Croft and Janet Fieldhouse, we also consider the thorny relationship between artists and advertising.
