Robert Jacks represents one of Australia’s most esteemed and distinctive abstract artists. From selling out his first solo exhibition in 1966, spending ten-years on a self-described ‘international internship’ in New York and Canada through to a major retrospective at the National Gallery of Victoria in 2014, Jacks’ spent a lifetime fine-tuning his visual language.

This original woodcut print is extremely rare, never before on the market. It references a transom window, planes of glass presenting an unexpectedly elegant design. Jacks’ work speaks to a cacophony of inspirations – literature, modernist art, jazz, popular culture, and here, the everyday. Abstract art can be found anywhere for those curious enough to look.

Jacks is represented in all state collections and the subject of several monographs. His work is as collectable as it is visually arresting, a compelling find for collectors of abstract art, Jacks, and interiors in need of a touch of modern elegance.
