41 original artworks painted by Chopper Read whilst he was in gaol, will be on show and for sale, as well as signed Chopper memorabilia and a full sized coffin featuring a portrait of Chopper that has been crafted into a coffee table.
Chopper signed and dedicated all his paintings to underworld criminals, and people who inspired him - for example Flowers for Carl and Tribute to Nancy Wake. He was inspired by Sidney Nolan’s Ned Kelly Figures, Picasso and Van Gough.
This is your chance to own a piece of Australian criminal lore. The event runs 8-11 April with free entry, 10am–5pm (closed Good Friday). For more information visit www.morpethgallery.com
