The plaque commemorates art dealer Rudy Komon MBE (1908 - 1992).
Rudy Komon was an art dealer, wine judge and connoisseur. He established one of the pre-eminent art dealerships in Sydney and introduced a new standard of relationship for the art dealer and artist. Komon was the first art dealer in Sydney to introduce the European practice of paying artists a wage in return for the right to sell their work. He had a close relationship with his artists—he found them studios, lent them money, organised their travel and wined and dined them. On trips overseas he often chose them as travelling companions. He pitched their prices high.
The Woollahra Council Plaque Scheme honours exceptional people or events associated with our local government area, that have made a significant impact on life in the area or Australia as a nation.
