Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
"Wystan Curnow is New Zealand's longest-serving and, arguably, most important art
critic. This edited collection brings together a selection of his art writings from
1971 to 2013 to provide the first comprehensive overview of his practice. Selectively
drawing on his considerable ouput, the publication features Curnow's long form essays
that investigate the stakes for 'high culture' in a 'small province' like New Zealand;
major essays on key artists including Len Lye, Colin McCahon, Billy Apple, Stephen
Bambury, Max Gimblett, and Imants Tillers; vivid reports on the contemporary art scene;
catalogue essays and short reviews that offer insightful readings of art and artists
in all their material and conceptual specificity. Both a map of contemporary theory
and practice and a cogent agenda for thinking through the implications and challenges
of making art here, this compilation is an essential companion for anyone interested
in New Zealand art as it has unfolded since 1970."--Publisher's website
