A history of the award.

Archibald Prize finalists 2006.

So, which ones do you like? I think my favourite is "Portrait of Julia Leigh" by Catherine Abel, mostly because I just love that sort of de Lempicka style:

There are a few more I like, amongst the usual mix of straight portraits and more abstract ones.

"Sir Harold Knight KBE DSC" by Jasper Knight:

"Cullen - before and after" by Ben Quilty:

I like quite a few of these actually. Marcus Wills, Jiawei Shen, the Peter Churcher is an interesting take on the idea.

What do you think?

Ulp. The before and after ones look like Auerbach, but not. The De Lempicka one has scope though.
