Port Jackson Press

Established in 1975, Port Jackson Press is a mainstay of the Australian printmaking landscape. The company is widely recognized as an authoritative destination for the best of Australian printmaking. From its roots as a print publishing house, the gallery has continuously evolved, changing alongside and in support of original, limited edition fine... art prints. PJP's current directors acquired the business in the early '90s and their artistic credentials have only added to the strong connection the gallery has to the Australian art scene. Mirroring its vibrant Collingwood location, the gallery represents an eclectic mix of artists and has seen a recent focus on the acquisition of an exciting new generation of contemporary printmakers to its stable. The large gallery space is punctuated by large wooden antique plan press drawers, not only have these become synonymous with the PJP brand, but also hint at the wealth of works produced by their artists. In operation for over four decades, PJP has amassed a stable of artists whose works reflect the diverse techniques and audiences of the printmaking market. For collectors new and established, the gallery presents the elite of exhibiting Australian contemporary printmaking. Port Jackson Press has a specialised focus on the representation, promotion and career longevity of its artists. In an industry that is becoming increasingly online-focused and flooded with self-represented artists, PJP offers its artists the unique benefits of its printmaking heritage. Continuing this history, PJP remains to discover and represent the new faces of the industry.Read More
