Fred Genis
b. 1934 (Netherlands) - d. 2022 (Australia)
Drawing from the archive of the Genis Family, this exhibition pays tribute to the late Fred Genis (1934–2022), a master lithographer whose technical brilliance and collaborative spirit left an indelible mark on Australian contemporary art.
Today, works printed by Fred Genis are held in major public collections including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Tate Modern (London), the National Gallery of Victoria (Melbourne), Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (Brisbane) and the Art Gallery of New South Wales (Sydney), among many others.
Many of these works offer insight into the lithographic process prior to producing the edition and are seldom seen outside institutional archives. Curated in partnership with the Genis family and PARKER Contemporary, this exhibition is a special opportunity to experience the legacy of one of Australia’s most significant collaborative printmakers and your opportunity to acquire some of the most highly regarded lithographs in Australia.
