Production notes

John Brack’s 'Nude on bed' 1972, Tate Adams noted, ‘was the last Crossley print to be editioned in the gallery as working space was extremely cramped. The lack of running water made printing difficult.’ [Jenny Zimmer (ed.), The Crossley Gallery 1966–1980, Melbourne: Macmillan Art Publishing, 2003, p. 62.]
