Heath Ledger original pencil sketch study and original size Limited Edition print of portrait ‘Heath (2008)’

Auction Item #5

“An artist is their own biggest critic. I had seen his eyes wander off or stare into the camera while doing
interviews and wondered what he may have been thinking. Heath was under constant scrutiny, with so
many demands made of him that he had to hold part of himself back and not give too much away. To paint him intimately like this was an honour” – the artist, Vincent Fantauzzo.

Vincent is donating an Original pencil sketch from the sittings with Heath that has never been exhibited
in public, before today.

Vincent is also donating a signed, limited edition print of the painting, ‘Heath (2008), that won the Archibald Prize People’s Choice in 2008. With the blessing of Heath Ledger’s family, the artist then donated the artwork to the Art Gallery of NSW. This print will be the same size as the original painting (101.4 x 137.4 cm).

Donated by Vincent Fantauzzo
