Dangerously Modern at the Art Gallery of NSW
For over two decades, Sofitel Sydney Wentworth has proudly partnered with the Art Gallery of New South Wales as its Official Luxury Hotel Partner, supporting some of Australia’s most iconic cultural exhibitions. This summer, the partnership continues with Dangerously Modern: Australian Women Artists in Europe 1890–194, celebrating bold creativity and fearless ambition.
Featuring over 200 works, including paintings, prints, drawings, sculpture, and ceramics, the exhibition explores key movements such as Realism, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Cubism, and Abstraction. These pioneering artists challenged conventions and helped shape European modernism while redefining Australian art.
