Judy Darragh
Marking the beginning of a new series of high quality books on contemporary New Zealand artists from Te Papa Press, Judy Darragh: So... you made it? is published to coincide with a major exhibition at Te Papa. This is the first book to present a substantial overview of the work of Judy Darragh, one of New Zealand's best regarded contemporary sculpture and installation artists, in the context of her current practice. The exhibition is the first retrospective of her work, and the first major project for Darragh in a public gallery. There are new and recent works that range from provocative experiments with twink and posters, to beautiful fusions of art and the everyday in metallic beaded curtains, synthetic colour, stickers in flawless geometry. Including an in-depth interview with Darragh, Judy Darragh: So...you made it? is an opportunity to engage in the diversity of contemporary practice through the review of an artist in mid flight of 'making and making it!'

Departing from where studies of single flower artists leave off, Useless Beauty embraces the general topic of flowers in Australian art and shines new light on a slice of Australian art history that extends from 1880 to 1950. It is the first book of broad chronology to discuss Australian art through blossoms, which it does by addressing stories of major figures including Hans Heysen, Margaret Preston and Sidney Nolan, as well as specific objects such as surreal flowers, Aboriginal flowers and war flowers.

The Colour of Distance

The Spirit of Colin McCahon
The Spirit of Colin McCahon provides a vivid historical contextualisation of New Zealand’s premier modern artist, clearly explaining his esoteric religious themes and symbols. Via a framework of visual rhetoric, this book explores the social factors that formed McCahon’s religious and environmental beliefs, and justifications as to why his audience often missed the intended point of spiritual his discourse – or chose to ignore it. The Spirit of Colin McCahon tracks the intricate process by which the artist’s body of work turned from optimism to misery, and explains the many communicative techniques he employed in order to arrest suspicion towards his Christian prophecy. More broadly,...
