The Lady and the Unicorn tapestries, The Art Gallery of NSW

I had the pleasure of going on a road trip to Sydney to see The lady and the Unicorn tapestries at The Art Gallery of NSW. They were made in the 1500’s and only discovered in the 1800’s. There is a great mystery around who made them and why. Each tapestry represented the senses. The one below is taste.

Arthur Boyd’s etchings Lady and the Unicorn was also on display. He reinterpreted the story along with poems from peter Porter.
