The last thing that Susi Muddiman OAM will do before she exits Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre (“Tweed”) will be to welcome into the Gallery the $174 million masterpiece, Meules, milieu du jour [Haystacks, midday] (1890) by French impressionist Claude Monet.
The masterwork is travelling from the National Gallery of Australia (NGA), and will remain on loan for the next two years. It is an interesting bookend to her new position at HOTA, Home of the Arts on the Gold Coast, where she will be stepping into big shoes – literally.
