Kevin Charles "Pro" Hart, MBE
(30 May 1928 – 28 March 2006)
Born in Broken Hill, New South Wales. Pro Hart was a famous Australian painter of the Australian outback. His artwork is sought out by international collections. Selected prints of artwork are available onsite.
Pro Hart Gallery. The shop and building are on 108 Wyman Street, Broken Hill NSW.
Pro Hart painted his famous1974 Silver Shadow, SRH19604, with Australian historical scenes in 1999. He toured the car around Canberra and the Gold Coast.
A “chauffeur’s jacket” painted with ants and dragonflies in 1999 was given to his driver and went to auction in 2016 with an expected value of $10,000 to $20,000.
Upon enquiry, a replica of the chauffeur's jacket cannot be purchased. A shame because I think it would be popular. Not possible to order online either.
Many Pro Hart original paintings are for sale from three thousand to high thirty thousand in Australian dollars. Much less expensive reproduction prints are available.
There are three floors of artwork and a Gift shop.
The Art Gallery is open daily.
A small entry fee is charged to view all the artwork.
There are a few other Australian art galleries in Broken Hill.
Pro Hart's is the largest and most well-known.
