Harold Freedman: Artist for the People
  • Victoria Perin


6 May 2017
⬤ Art Gallery of Ballarat 1 Apr - 28 May 2017

The Harold Freedman exhibition, on display at the Art Gallery of Ballarat until the end of this month, is sub-headed ‘Artist for the people’. In order to entice people deep into the pokey rear galleries where the show is hung, it would seem that a degree of assuagement is required. Trust me people, promises the curator, this is an artist for you!
