Enrico Taglietti is the ACT's oldest practising architect and a recipient of the Australian Institute of Architects Gold Medal Award (2007). He is pictured in the sitting room of his home in Griffith with a coffee table he designed and made in 1955. Made of Queensland maple, the 2.5 metre table has a deeply carved centre which once cradled his baby daughter. In 1992, the National Gallery of Australia's Director, Betty Churcher, noticed the unique table on a visit and liked it so much she asked if she could have it for the Gallery. His family refused to part with it and the table is now home to his collection of tobacco pipes.
The NPPP exhibition is selected from a national field of entries. The annual exhibition, now in its fourth year, reflects the distinctive vision of Australia's aspiring and professional portrait photographers and the unique nature of their subjects.
