John Olsen's exhibition at London's Osborne Samuel gallery was opened by Australian comedian Barry Humphries to large crowds and positive reviews. Although John Olsen was unfortunately unable to attend, his infectious enthusiasm and vibrancy was conveyed to the gallery via a recorded video message. The exhibition of new works on paper coincides with the Royal Academy of Arts ?Australia? exhibition, featuring Olsen?s ?Sydney Sun?. The Osborne Samuel exhibition catalogue can be viewed online here.
