New Zealand sculpture : a history
"The first important study of sculpture in New Zealand - well received by art lovers and educational institutions alike on its publication in 2002 - is now back in print in an updated edition. For the new edition, Dunn has added a chapter, 'Crisis of Identity: Sculpture since 2000', in which he discusses New Zealand sculpture's international reach, its role at Venice Biennales and the importance of overseas-based New Zealand sculptors such as Francis Upritchard and Ronnie van Hout. Dunn also sees a new popularity for sculpture with the establishment of several outdoor sculpture walks. The book now charts the growth of sculpture from the era of British imports and influence to the more confident art of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It includes a general bibliography and reading lists for each major artist and fourteen new colour plates have been added to the original 76 black and white figures and 92 colour plates."--Publisher description
