Nine Lives | Fortitude Valley, Brisbane

High art, low prices

Every few months, it seems, a piece of art – whether it’s a platinum-and-diamond-encrusted skull or a Jackson Pollock – sets a new record for the most expensive artwork yet sold. Nine Lives bucks that trend, displaying fresh and innovative artworks with modest price tags (from $50 through to $1000) from up-and-coming Australian and international artists.

The gallery frequently hosts new shows, often with a street-culture edge – recent exhibitions have included tattoo designs and skateboard art – so it’s worth frequently checking its website to see what new visual delights are in store. Who knows? You may pick up the next Blue Poles.
