Dual Archibald winner Del Kathryn Barton lists Clovelly home
The dual Archibald Prize-winning artist Del Kathryn Barton has listed her Clovelly home with $2.8 million price hopes for April 13 Goodyer Donnelley auction.
It's a five-bedroom Arden Street house with two pavilions on a 550-square-metre block with a swimming pool.
The house – described as an innovatively transformed Californian bungalow – has two pavilions with a parents' retreat and a self-contained apartment with its own entry.
Barton and her husband Christopher Plater, a chief investment officer at Challenger Life financial group, bought the property after selling their turn-of-the-century Petersham property.
They paid $2.9 million when they bought in Clovelly from artist Jason Benjamin in 2008.
Title Tattle happily defers to others on contemporary art, but in addition to an Adam Cullen unicorn hanging on the walls, there's apparently also a Paddy Bedford abstract and an etching by abstract expressionist Louise Bourgeois.
She won the Archibald Prize for You are what is most beautiful about me, a self-portrait with Kell and Arella, in 2008.
Today, she won the prize for a second time with a portrait of actor Hugo Weaving (pictured below).
