A rare unguarded moment with two icons whose partnership shaped both Australian music and cultural identity.
Photographed in 1994 in the driveway of their Sydney home, this portrait brings together Slim Dusty, Joy McKean and their famous vehicle, Old Purple – a car that had become almost as recognisable as the couple themselves.
Commissioned by New Woman magazine, the image marked a shift in Australian publishing toward ambitious, large-scale portraiture influenced by leading American titles. The composition celebrates Slim and Joy’s enduring partnership, their connection to home and the tangible presence of Old Purple as part of their shared story.
For collectors – a museum-grade print honouring country music’s most enduring partnership, captured at home, at ease and in publishing history.
Created from a high-resolution scan of the original 1994 transparency, the edition is printed to museum standards on archival Hahnemühle fine art paper with pigment inks to ensure exceptional depth, richness and longevity.
