Notes
In 1981 Brack and Beth Parnaby were commissioned by the Friends of the Victorian College of the Arts (which incorporated the National Gallery of Victoria School of Art) to each produce a lithograph at Druckma Press. The lithographs were sold as a pair to provide funds for activities financed by the Friends.
