Salon des Refusés (Archibald)
- Salon des Refusés (Archibald)
Salon des Refuses, a popular Australian art exhibition which shows some of the rejected works to the Archibald Prize, Australia's most prestigious art prize for portraiture, and also some of the rejected Wynne Prize entries. The competition was begun in 1992 and has been run every year since. Some sources claim the exhibition began in 1997 following the refused entry of Evert Ploeg's Bananas in Pyjamas painting, but this is probably the year which they gained notoriety, rather than being the first year of the competition. The name was based on the Salon des Refusés in France in the nineteenth century. It is held at the National Trust's S. H. Ervin Gallery in Sydney.
It carries a peoples choice award, the Holding Redlich People’s Choice Award. The prize awarded in 2004 was $2000.
The criteria for selection are quality, diversity, experimentation and wit.
Past exhibitors have included Keith Looby, Euan McLeod, Max Cullen, Ken Done, Adam Cullen and Peter O'Doherty.
