Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Jackson Pollock's Blue Poles was hailed as a masterpiece by Prime Minister Gough Whitlam when it was acquired for a record price by the Australian National Gallery in 1973. But far from being the jewel in Whitlam's cultural crown, the painting became instead a symbol of the Whitlam Government's flamboyance, extravagance, and excess.Both political history and cultural analysis, The Prime Minister's Christmas Card traces the events surrounding the notorious purchase of Blue Poles and the life of the illfated Whitlam Government. It provides a fascinating glimpse into Australia's social, cultural, and economic history, its changing class dynamics, and its shifting geopolitical status. It also offers a new and original perspective on Australian politics and culture in the Whitlam era.
