Title:	Collection of Colin & Elizabeth Laverty, July 2006  2006
Medium:	1. Double-page spread in periodical, offset lithograph 2. Lightfast inkjet on canvas 50 x 80 cm
	The work shown here was realised in the Spring issue of the periodical Photofile. It reflects upon Print's relation to Painting which, for much of its history, has been one of mutual economic advantage dependent on the value of the latter and on the economy and craft of its reproduction. The work has two forms, both of which reproduce in print a large private art collection comprising nearly 2000 paintings and objects. The collection is represented as a flattened quantified mass - here on an 'artists page' spread in an Australian art magazine. (printed as offset litho) and in its second form (not shown) as a singular print on canvas, stretched like a painting which has been purchased for the collection. The only piece of my work held by the collector to this date, is a print that represents every other object in their collection except for itself.
