Richard Larter Wall Review - Online

Menzies is pleased to announce the single lot online auction of Richard Larter’s monumental Wall Review 1972. This almost 50-foot wide canvas is a sprawling milieu of famous faces of politicians, gangsters and war criminals, including Al Capone, Richard Nixon, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels and Billy McMahon, juxtaposed with images of life asserting women, including Liza Minelli, Germaine Greer, and Larter’s wife and muse, Pat Larter. The ideologically and politically charged painting represents Richard Larter and Australian Pop Art at their pinnacle in the 1970s, exposing the hypocrisy of the ruling elite.
