• Lot Description:
  6 Humorous Christmas Cards Related to Graeme INSON's repeated attempts to win the Archibald Prize
  The identity of 'Arthur' remained a mystery to Graeme Inson. The theme, repeated year on year, was the artist's determined attempts to win the Archibald; the lampooning was somewhat savage. Only one is dated - 1968.
  24.5x20cm (largest, when closed)
• Notes:
  According to Harvey Shore, son of Graeme Inson's partner, Ivy Shore, these six Christmas Cards were treasured by Graeme, because 'Arthur' (an anonymous artist friend) sent them to Graeme annually, humorously lampooning his ceaseless efforts to win the Archibald Prize.
