Not much to say here, gallery emphemera of its time*, not that interesting to me. Artist seems very embedded in European art scene. Which I don't think say a lot about the set's subject (Australian Painting) area, but does say a lot about the UK POV of it. For a small publication it has quite fussy print spec, with multiple stocks and a spine when it could have been a pamphlet.

* The content listing is titled Index. Is that a design trend for the time or is there a good reason to call it that?
