Critical Moments
Well known artist Jeffrey Makin has also served as an art critic over more than three decades, reviewing significant national and international exhibitions in major public galleries. He has also followed the careers of notable Australian artists and their exhibitions in the private gallery system throughout the nation. This book is divided into fifteen sections, each of which explores a separate theme with more than 150 reviews of the artists whose works fall into the totality of these categories. The sections include European Visions, Female Sensibilities, In the Abstract, Real and Surreal and others related to figuration, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and landscape painting. Taken as a whole, this book provides a unique survey of Australian art, from a painter-critics perspective. The book is illustrated with photographs of artists in their studios.

A Quest for Enlightenment
The most publicly accessible art of the late Roger Kemp is perhaps the magnificent tapestries that hang in the great hall of the National Gallery of Victoria. This major figure of Australia's post war art world is the subject of Christopher Heathcote's latest book.
Lovers and Others
This candidly written memoir, enlivened by the author's impish sense of humour, narrates the way in which, by chance and circumstance, Tom Lowenstein placed his career at the service of the Australian art world. The book describes Lowenstein's numerous David and Goliath battles with the Australian Government and the Australian Tax Office for a greater understanding and fairer treatment of the unique set of circumstances and numerous challenges faced by the country's creative sectors. Lowenstein's interactions with his colourful and gregarious clients took him frequently out of the comfort of the corporate environment into the artists' homes and studios. The personalities of Charles Blackman, Colin Lanceley, Margaret Olley, John Olsen, Garry Shead, Tim Storrier, and many other luminaries of the art world are vividly brought out with unique insights and unexpected angles. The book is richly illustrated with photographs from Lowenstein's personal archives documenting his long-standing friendships and reflecting its heady mixture of accounting, art, and wine.
