The range and depth of the Gallery’s publishing
program was reflected in the titles produced in 2008.
Major publications included the successful catalogue
Picasso & his collection
, produced in association with
musée national Picasso, Paris, and Art Exhibitions
Australia.
Place Makers: Contemporary Queensland
Architects,
featuring the work of 22 leading Queensland
architectural practices, was also popular with audiences.
In addition to the catalogue on contemporary Australian
artist, Eugene Carchesio,
Someone’s Universe: The Art
of Eugene Carchesio
, the work of over 60 Australian
artists was highlighted in the exhibition catalogue
Contemporary Australia: Optimism
. Work by Australian
Indigenous artists featured in the
Xstrata Coal Emerging
Indigenous Art Award
2008
publication.
In 2008 the
Andy Warhol
publication was awarded Best
Large Catalogue by the Art Association of Australia
and New Zealand,
Picasso & his collection
received a
Gold Medal (Limited Edition Book) from the Queensland
Printing Industry Craftsmanship Awards, and
Katharina
Grosse: Picture Park
won a Best in Show award from
the Design Institute of Australia (Qld).
Artlines
, the Gallery’s magazine, was redesigned and
produced quarterly to bring news and features about
the Gallery’s Collection and programs to members
and supporters.
The Gallery’s website was redesigned in late 2008.
Throughout the year, dedicated exhibition websites
were developed for ‘Andy Warhol’, ‘Picasso & his
collection’, ‘Place Makers: Contemporary Queensland

Online education resources were also produced for
