  • About

    The Australian Print Workshop 40 x 40 portfolio is a monumental survey of contemporary Australian printmaking, bringing together 40 leading artists who share an important and long-standing creative relationship with the Australian Print Workshop (APW), Melbourne. To mark the workshop’s 40th anniversary, reached during COVID lockdown in 2021, each artist was invited to collaborate with APW printers to create a new print, which was skilfully hand-printed at the workshop over 2022–23.

    The portfolio collates work made by a diverse range of artists at a specific moment in time. It offers an important account of contemporary Australian printmaking practices, demonstrating experimental techniques in lithography, photolithography, etching, aquatint, drypoint, woodblock and vinyl cut. In commemorating a history of art making in Australia, it also reflects the styles and preoccupations of artists at a time of pandemic, as well as international political and environmental flux.
