Jenny Zimmer, Melbourne

Jenny Zimmer is one of Australia’s most highly respected authors and publishers of Australian art. Zimmer has co-authored or published over 300 titles on Australian and international art including several volumes on John Olsen. As former Director of Art Publishing at Macmillan, Zimmer arranged for Olsen to sign a small group of these promotional prints for insertion into limited edition John Olsen books. They were signed at the time of publication of
John Olsen : journeys into the ‘you beaut country’ (2007). These examples were never inserted into the books and are in mint condition.
