CORRECTION: The profile on Robert Jacks (pp. 66-72) contained a number of errors, including incorrect attribution, plagiarism and copyright infringement. The text was prepared by our editorial staff, reproducing extensive passages of Ken McGregor’s previously published work on the artist, without appropriate acknowledgement of the original sources. A significant extract of a catalogue essay by Peter Anderson was reproduced within the text we published, without any acknowledgement or authorisation. The profile was also incorrectly attributed to Inga Walton on the contents page. The failure to properly acknowledge the sources of the material we published lies entirely with our editorial staff. Permissions for image reproduction were not duly sought and the profile prepared without consultation with Robert Jacks. The profile omitted to list Karen Woodbury Gallery as the artist’s representative. Artist Profile regrets these errors, which are not up to our regular editorial standards and we apologise unreservedly to all parties involved.
