Twenty-nine-year-old Sydney artist Julia Gutman has won the Art Gallery of NSW's $100,000 Archibald Prize for a portrait of her friend and fellow artist Jessica Cerro (aka singer-songwriter Montaigne) that incorporates fabric from her own clothing.
Gutman is the 11th woman to win the prestigious prize in its 102-year history, following in the footsteps of Nora Heysen, who in 1938 became the first woman to win (aged 27, remaining the youngest winner), and contemporary artists Del Kathryn Barton (who won twice, in 2008 and 2013) and Yvette Coppersmith (in 2018).
Gutman's win, based on a unanimous decision by the AGNSW's Board of Trustees (who judge the prize) caps a record-breaking year in which there were more women finalists than men.
