Jon Rhodes Signed Limited Ed Australian Aboriginal Art Silver Gelatin Photograph

The one-off, unique work is hand pencil signed, titled, dated (printed in 1991), and numbered (1/1) by Rhodes in the lower margin.

Jon Rhodes was born in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales in 1947. before moving at a young age to Brisbane, Queensland. He took up photography in the late 60s which eventually led him to documentary work as an assistant cinematographer in countries such as Australia, Papua New Guinea, and India where he developed his cinematic approach to photography. It was also in the 1970s that he began his collaborative work with the Indigenous Australian Aboriginal Peoples. Today Rhodes is widely viewed as a pioneer in bringing a high-art approach to documenting the lives of Aboriginal People living in remote communities.

Rhodes’s work can be found in numerous major Australian collections and prominent museums including:

The Art Gallery Of New South Wales, Sydney
The Museum of Australian Photography (MAPh), Victoria
The National Gallery of Australia, Melbourne
The National Portrait Gallery, Canberra
The J Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles.

In 2019, his book Cage of Ghosts won the NSW Premier’s Community and Regional History Prize.

Would be a great addition to collectors of Rhodes’s work or Indigenous Aboriginal Australian photography or an eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting.
