Basil Hall

Basil Hall was born in Melton, Victoria in 1954 and studied at the Australian National University and Canberra School of Art. In 1987 he was appointed Director of Studio One National Print Workshop, a position he held until 1994. During this period the workshop developed a strong relationship with Aboriginal communities printing many editions for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists. In 1995 Hall won a Churchill Fellowship and travelled to Europe and the USA visiting print workshops. From 1996 to 1999 he was Lecturer in charge of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Printmaking Workshop at Northern Territory University and Editioning Manager at Northern Editions at the University until 2002. That year, Hall established Basil Hall Editions in Darwin. Over the past ten years, Hall has increasingly worked with Aboriginal printmakers.
