	The Archibald Prize - Australia's Culture Portal
		The 2007 Archibald Prize was won by John Beard for his painting of Janet Laurence, an installation artist with an interest in the connectivity between art, science, memory and imagination.
		The prize of $35,000 and the publicity and recognition the prize generates for the winning painter encourages painters entering the competition to stretch their skills.
		This prize was established after the cancellation of the Art Gallery of New South Wales Australian Photographic Portraiture Prize, which was held concurrently with the Archibald Prize.

	Welcome to the Indianapolis Zoo & Gardens
		George Archibald, Ph.D., is the recipient of the $100,000 Indianapolis Prize, an initiative of the Indianapolis Zoo and the largest international monetary award given to an individual for conservation of an animal species.
		Archibald co-founded the International Crane Foundation, located in Baraboo, Wisconsin, in 1973 when cranes were in a perilous situation and many of the 15 remaining species were on the brink of extinction.
		Archibald is also known for having entered some of the world's most hostile territories, including Afghanistan, Cuba, Russia and the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea, to protect the watersheds and grasslands where cranes live and to help increase migratory flight paths.

	Archibald Prize - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the early years of the Archibald Prize, the winner was dominated by Victorians, such as McInnes, Longstaff, and Dargie, which was somewhat resented by the art community in Sydney.
		Nora Heysen was the first woman to win the Archibald Prize, with a portrait of Madame Elink Schuurman, the wife of the Consul General for the Netherlands.
		The Archibald is held at the same time as the Sulman prize, the Wynne prize, the recent Australian Photographic Portrait Prize and was held with the Dobell Prize before 2003.

		Archibald co-founded the International Crane Foundation, located in Baraboo, Wis., in 1973 when cranes were in a perilous situation and many of the 15 remaining species were on the brink of extinction.
		Archibald and his colleagues have pioneered several techniques to rear cranes in human care, including having human handlers wear crane costumes to avoid human imprinting and using ultra-light aircraft to lead cranes on migration.
		As Archibald later recounted her tale on "The Tonight Show," he stunned the audience and host Johnny Carson with the sad end of the story -- the accidental death of Tex shortly after the hatching of her one and only chick.

	Archibald Prize Challenge
		The recently introduced prize condition disallowing the submission of wet paintings would have eliminated the entry of the Dobell portrait, a winner that might be argued to be an example of the sort of excellence that Archibald sought to nurture with his prize.
		It is only in the awarding of the prize that Archibald's intent is clear, that it must be a 'portrait...painted...' and it is in the awarding of the prize itself that the Trustees are restricted from awarding it to anything other than a painting, painted from life.
		Whilst fairness to all Archibald Prize entrants requires the 2004 Archibald Prize to be rejudged (or 2004 declared a no-award year) Craig Ruddy should perhaps be compensated for the troubles this decision has caused.

		Anna Waldmann, notes in her article 'The Archibald Prize', Summer 1982 edition, Art and Australia, that 'One of the governing factors in deciding the direction of the bequest was said to have been the portrait of Henry Lawson, commissioned by J.F.Archibald from Longstaff in 1900 for fifty guineas'.
		Waldmann also noted in her article, that the Archibald Prize 'aroused from the beginning, legal challenges, rivalries and animosities that had never been envisaged by the donor, whose intentions, be they to perpetuate the memory of great Australians, to improve the quality of portrait painting or to help artists, have never been quite fulfilled.'
		The Archibald Prize commenced with an award for 1921, which was won by W.B.McInnes for his portrait of Desbrowe Annear, the well-known Melbourne architect.

		Whereas the Archibald Prize is judged in the usual way, by people in the art world, the Bald Archy, so they say, is judged by Maude, a cockatoo.
		There’s also a prize for the best three dimensional satirical object and this year the winning entry is a figure of the Queen with one of her beloved corgis at her feet.
		The Archibald Prize has often been controversial, and at least once has been the subject of a lawsuit, when two disgruntled artists who thought their paintings were more worthy of the prize than the winner’s, sued the Trustees of the Art Gallery of NSW for failing to observe the terms of the trust.

	Go Figure.net.au Archibald Prize entry by Tony Johansen
		Archibald himself was a study in contradictions, and he allowed those to continue in his Prize.
		He audaciously gave a prize for portrait painting, yet declined to be painted himself.
		There is a certain level of traditional painting skills implicate in the concept of a portrait painted from life; yet the best artists are likely to push the boundaries of those limitations in the qualitative struggles.

		Tony Johansen, a Sydney artist, is challenging the traditions of the competition by linking his entry, a triptych of a self-portrait, using acrylic paint, a portrait of the portrait hanging on a wall, also an acrylic, and a digital print which has been "solarised" to vary the colours and impact of the image.
		I also expect it to increase even faster at times of Archibald events, especially after the middle of November when the hearing date for the legal challenge to the 2004 Archibald Prize is handed down.
		Unlike the Archibald exhibition itself, this audience for GoFigure.net.au appears to be ongoing into the future and gives me confidence that this represents a new way for a serious artist to develop a relationship with the public.
