A print folio in celebration of the Baldessin Press & Studio
It is with great pleasure that the Baldessin Press & Studio announced the launch of the commemorative folio Baldessin & Friends, an initiative to celebrate its 15th anniversary as a not-for-profit organisation, continuing the legacy of the renowned printmaker and sculptor George Baldessin (1939 - 1978).
The folio brings together seven celebrated Australian artists - Rick Amor, GW Bot, Jock Clutterbuck, Michael Leunig, Jan Senbergs, Imants Tillers and John Wolseley - all of whom share a personal connection to Baldessin, or to the Press itself. Each artist generously created a new work specifically for this project, which is presented alongside the posthumous print Portrait II, 1966, from the incomplete edition by George Baldessin. The majority of the prints (Amor, Baldessin, Leunig, Senbergs and Tillers) were printed in collaboration with Deanna Hitti on George Baldessin’s 1974 Enjay press, which was newly refurbished for the occasion. Printing of works by Clutterbuck, GW Bot and Wolseley was kindly completed by the artist or their studio.
Housed within a beautiful presentation box, these eight works are accompanied by an illustrated catalogue, with an introduction by Professor Sasha Grishin. Of the 25 in the edition, only 15 were made available for sale. This folio has been made available by the Estate of (the late) Michael Leunig.
