There may soon be another private gallery in Australia to rival the gambling millionaire David Walsh’s Museum of Old and New Art, which opened outside Hobart in 2011. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the collector Judith Neilson, who founded the White Rabbit gallery in Sydney in 2009, has big plans. She hopes to convert a nearby warehouse into a second gallery and performance space with three subterranean levels, called Phoenix. Neilson declined to comment on the cost, although it is estimated at around A$32m ($23.6m). A development application has been submitted to Sydney council, which was considering Neilson’s proposal as we went to press.
