APW 40x40 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.
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.
This significant collection of original limited edition prints includes work by:
Rick Amor, Brook Andrew, Benjamin Armstrong, Graham Badari, Martin Bell, Andrew Browne, Jon Cattapan, Megan Cope, Vicki Couzens, Aleks Danko, eX de Medici, Belinda Fox, Shaun Gladwell, Julie Gough, Gracia Haby & Louise Jennison, Fiona Hall, Katherine Hattam, Euan Heng, Richard Lewer, Kevin Lincoln, Tim Maguire, Jennifer Marshall, Laith McGregor, Allan Mitelman, Janice Murray, Tom Nicholson, David Noonan, Patricia Piccinini, Lisa Roet, Caroline Rothwell, Jan Senbergs, Sally Smart, Mervyn Street, Andrew Taylor, Thornton Walker, Judy Watson, Louise Weaver, John Wolseley, Pedro Wonaeamirri.
This project has been generously supported by APW's longstanding philanthropic partner The Collie Print Trust, managed by Equity Trustees.
