APW 40 x 40
APW 40 x 40 is a monumental survey of contemporary Australian printmaking bringing together 40 leading contemporary Australian artists who share an important and long-standing creative relationship with Australian Print Workshop.
To mark APW's 40th Anniversary (reached during COVID lockdown in 2021) each artist was invited to collaborate with APW Printers to create a new artwork in the print medium.
Showcasing the beauty and diversity of printmaking, each original print has been skilfully hand-printed by APW Printers at Australian Print Workshop, Melbourne, in 2022-2023.
Each work has been printed in a limited edition of 40 (plus proofs) on BFK 250gsm paper. Image size: 40cm x 32cm. Paper size: 52cm x 38cm.
Ten impressions from each edition have been collated and are presented as a boxed set containing the collection of prints, a title page and colophon.
A limited number of impressions from each edition are available for individual purchase at the special price of
$1,100 each
Proceeds from the sale of these works will be used to support APW's programs.
