"Papua New Guinea Prints" is the first in-depth study of printmaking in Papua New Guinea from its beginnings in the late 1960s to the present. It explores the National Gallery of Australia's exceptional collection of over 600 prints and drawings from Papua New Guinea, including the earliest known contemporary prints. Richly illustrated and clearly written, it is a groundbreaking contribution to the understanding of a vital period in the history of art in Papua New Guinea.
