Artbank Sydney building to be sold at auction
The space displaying one of Australia’s most significant art collections will be sold at auction this week.
Artbank is a Federal Government initiative to support and promote Australian contemporary artists.
Under the scheme, which began in 1980, Artbank buys artwork and rents it to public and private sector clients in Australia and overseas. The money made from the scheme is used to buy more artwork.
