Secondary
Market:
Our 'Secondary Market Range' comprises one, sometimes
two prints from an edition that is no longer in general
distribution. They are hard to come by, secondary market
prints that sold out years, and in some cases, decades
ago. Many are rare, eminently collectable works by some
of the most senior and acclaimed Aboriginal artists.
