With the release of Christabel Blackman's book about the love shared between her parents we thought it appropriate to revisit our Charles Blackman print collection.

Charles Blackman (1928 - 2018) is one of Australia's most celebrated modern artists.

Blackman was largely self-taught and worked actively for more than 60 years. His works are held in most major public and private collections.

Charles sadly passed away in 2018 but his legacy of original works and signed limited edition prints remain.

This may possibly be your last chance to own a hand-signed Limited Edition print from the old master.

The Presentation

Isolated in a vigorous red ground, her luminous bouquet offers hope to the beholder and transcends a dream. Charles Blackman stands alone in this most personal display of the feminine. ‘The Presentation’ is a very rare gift indeed.

Each print is hand signed by the artist and numbered. This is what makes them valuable, collectable art, that could appreciate in value in time.

Early edition numbers are sought by collectors as they tend to appreciate in value more rapidly than later numbers in the edition.

We are pleased to let you know we have some of the lowest edition numbers currently available.

We have set aside full sets (of six) for collectors who wish to buy the full set and from the remainder of the edition for individual print purchase we also hold low edition numbers.

Place an order and you will receive the lowest available print edition number available from our publisher. This offer will change as sales progress.

Order NOW for the lowest edition number.

Blue Vase

The counter flow of vase, flower and face allows immediate access to this inner realm of Charles's dreamscape. Imagined at the peak of his decorative and expressive powers, this work is highly collectable. ‘The Blue Vase’ reveals great virtuosity and vibrancy in an ode to blue. A hand signed limited edition print from the master.

Dream by Charles Blackman

‘Dream Image’ is a miraculous visual conception of (wife) Barbara’s experience.

When Barbara was hospitalised with "first motherhood" in 1957, she began to knit her own bedspread. Each brilliantly coloured woollen square was a badge of her achievements and a visual feast against failing eyesight and immobility. Beneath the chequered cover she was safe in the womb of her own dream, away from the turmoil of the outside world.
