For over 40 years Kaldor Public Art Projects has presented major public artworks by acclaimed international artists in sites across Australia free-of-charge. The first project, Christo & Jeanne-Claude’s Wrapped Coast at little Bay in 1969, was the first large-scale public art project presented anywhere in the world and the first time an international contemporary artist had created a major new work in Australia. Inspired by the success of this project, Kaldor Public Art Projects became the first organisation of its kind internationally. Over the years we have created 27 projects with artists in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane.
