Story

Sydney’s best kept secret

The Brett Whiteley Studio was the workplace and home of Australian artist, Brett Whiteley (1939–92).

The artist bought the former warehouse in 1985 and converted it into a studio and exhibition space. He lived there from 1987 to 1992, the year he died in Thirroul.

The visitor is offered the unique opportunity to experience the atmosphere of the space – the studio with his unfinished paintings, art equipment and collections of reference books, and the graffiti wall covered with quotes and images.

The living area has memorabilia such as photographs, objects, postcards, furniture, his music collection and sketchbooks. The gallery has changing exhibitions of the artist’s works: paintings, drawings, sculpture and graphics borrowed from the Brett Whiteley Studio Collection, Art Gallery of New South Wales and private collections.

There is a small gallery shop with postcards, posters and other merchandise for sale. There is no cafe at the Studio, however visitors are welcome to return on the day after visiting the numerous cafes and restaurants close by.

Quite a wonderful experience and very well worth while the visit. Brett's studio is much more than just seeing the art. It's also about the man. You get to wander around the studio and look at some incredible art have a coffee and wander upstairs and see something of his life. The books he read and the music he listens to assists in giving a further insight into Brett Whiteley. Additionally they have informed and helpful staff on hand to assist you with any questions you might have

I love visiting artists studios. I have been here twice. The first time there was more of a range of his work on display and I watched a really good video. There wasn't as much on display the second time.

Brett Whiteley's home is beautiful and the artworks are inspiring. I have my favourite pieces and I look forward to the change of exhibits so I can experience more of Brett Whiteley's works.

A shrine to arguably Australia's greatest ever modern artist. Will be back again. Brilliant.
