Quietly tucked away on level three of NGV Australia, 68 prints sparsely lining the walls comprise New Australian Printmaking.
More tame than ground-breaking, New Australian Printmaking has a present – although introverted – mindset. Grand notions aside, it subtly composes an evergreen appreciation of an ancient medium – future-proofing printmaking through the process, collaboration, and experimentation of producing something new.
