Question: Where to find a poster of Cossington Smith's "Sock Knitter"?

Help me decorate my new house with Australian Art! I would like to buy a print or poster version of Grace Cossington Smith's painting The Sock Knitter. Can you help me find one?

So far the only option I've come up with is the Image Reproduction service at the Art Gallery of NSW. According to the form you have to download, a poster-sized colour version is going to cost me a couple hundred bucks. Ouch. Any other suggestions?

I know there was a big travelling exhibition of her work in 2005-2006, so I was hoping there would have been some associated merchandise. None of the art gallery shops I've looked at seem to have it though. I've googled and googled and I'm just coming up blank.

does it really have to be print quality? you could just put the image through the rasterbator if you wanted. better yet, stencil it onto backing material, and embroider yourself a version.

I haven't found the "Sock Knitter" yet, but I did find that my results for posters of her work multiplied from zero to eight when I dropped the Smith from her name. Lame search engines, apparently, but maybe this would help?
