The Gertrude Editions are a series of new
limited-edition works of art, released annually on the occasion
of the Gertrude Studios exhibition.
The Gertrude Editions have been
developed to raise funds in support of Gertrude Contemporary

The 2008 Gertrude
Edition
|
 |
The 2008 Gertrude Edition is a new photographic collage by David Rosetzky, which combines two portraits to question the boundaries between self and other. This work continues Rosetzky's interest in layering and portraiture, and the relationships between interiority and exteriority, gender and identity, realism and fiction.

The 2007 Gertrude
Edition
|
 |
The 2007 Gertrude Edition comprises a new sculptural work by Nick Mangan - a bronze sculpture, cast from an assemblage of banksia pods, beeswax and coins. Inhabiting an uneasy space between growth and decay, totem and tourist kitsch, the work explores the environmental effects of culture on nature and the dubious progress of capitalism.

Edition

Comprising a new sculptural work by Robert Owen in a limited edition of 45 unique states, the 2006 Gertrude Edition is a series of open cubes, which have been broken down and reconfigured into five different arrangements.

The 2004 Gertrude
Edition
|
|
Emily Floyd's new work for the Gertrude Editions continues her investigation into the ways in which artists, curators and audiences learn to internalize and reproduce art discourse. Parodying the hype that can surround young artists, Important Emerging Artist provides a humorous and insightful commentary on the clichés used to market emerging artists.
