Heath Ledger portrait wins Aussie art award
http://forbiddenplanet.co.uk/ blog/ ?p=7385
The BBC reports that a portrait of the late Heath Ledger, shortly to be seen posthumously in the new Batman movie, has won a people’s choice award in Australia. The portrait by Vincent Fantauzzo was shortlisted for the prestigious Archibald Prize, the biggest Australian award for portraiture; it didn’t land the top gong but it did obviously appeal to the ordinary voting public who selected it in their people’s choice award. The artist has donated the painting of the young Australian actor - completed only shortly before his early death this year - to the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
