Twelve Australian Lithographers

This exhibition was one of many collaborations between the NGV and the Print Council of Australia (PCA).

The PCA was established in 1966 by Dr. Ursula Hoff, then Curator of Prints and Drawings at the NGV, and printmakers and educators Grahame King and Udo Sellbach. The PCA’s first annual general meeting was held in the NGV’s Print Room in November 1966. It continues to promote contemporary Australian printmaking today, including artist books, zines and works on paper.

Twelve Australian Lithographers featured new lithographic works made from 1973 to 1975 by John Courier, John Dent, Ruth Faerber, Helen Geier, Franz Kempf, Grahame King, Mary Macqueen, Allan Mitelman, John Olsen, David Rose, Udo Sellbach and Michael West.
