Menzies is pleased to present for private sale My Father’s Country 2 2009 by Sally Gabori.

Gabori’s striking abstract paintings that represent her ancestral Country have taken the secondary art market by storm, with her average auction price more than tripling in the past five years. International demand for her work has skyrocketed and she was recently the subject of a groundbreaking retrospective exhibition at the Foundation Cartier for Contemporary Art in Paris.

Gabori balanced bold primary colours with pure black and white pigments to create truly contemporary paintings which express sensations of life and cultural memory. My Father’s Country 2 is a prime example of her distinguished and celebrated artistic style.
