Dick Frizzell - the Painter

order quantity

NZ$ 75.00 each

Hardback

Author: Dick Frizzell

Published by: Godwit

In Stock: 12

Dick Frizzell's images populate our world - you find them on T-shirts, on TV ads, in shop windows, on wine bottles, on cushions and T-towels and in art shows. People appropriate (or borrow) his images in much the same way that he too appropriated many of the images he has painted over the years. He's reached iconic status in NZ - we love him, he's one of our own. As Dick himself says with a surprised chuckle, "I'm just like the Topp Twins now - I can do no wrong, they all love me!" Dick has a great story. After going to art school he found himself in his 20s married and with a young family to support. He worked in advertising until 1974, when his artistic urges made him leave the ad agency to take up working in the vege markets in the early hours of the day so that he could pursue his art. His paintings combined the pragmatics of an adman's need for a compelling motif with the visceral pleasures of expressive modernist paintings. His ... more

The Mind and Times of Reg Mombassa

order quantity

NZ$ 79.99 each

Hardback

Author: Murray Waldren

Published by: HarperCollins

In Stock: 6

Christopher O'Doherty, aka Reg Mombassa, has infiltrated our culture for more than thirty years with a unique, laconic view of our world - and of his. His wit, sense of mischief and larrikin energy resonated in the songs and performances of one of Australia's most beloved bands, Mental As Anything, whose music became the soundtrack to a generation's misbegotten youth. His eye for the absurd and his unapologetic idealism captured another generation or three with his irreverent, frequently macabre and always distinctive designs for the original Mambo label. Yet, long before he became a Mental or transformed shirts into collector's items, Mombassa was first and foremost an artist. From his idiosyncratic pop art to the delicately realised fine art landscapes and images that celebrate and elevate the suburban, his artworks are sought by collectors around the world. But there is much more to Reg Mombassa, as fellow New Zealand-born writer ... more

10,000 Years of Art

Paperback

Author: eds.

Published by: Phaidon Press Ltd

In Stock: 3

Following on from The Art Book (1994), 10,000 Years of Art provides an original and accessible way of looking at art. On its publication in 2007, "The Daily Telegraph" described it as 'a bold new publishing event that promises to redefine the parameters of art history'. In this mini format edition of the book, 500 great works of art from all periods and regions in the world have been carefully selected from the original book and are again arranged in chronological order, breaking through the usual geographical and cultural boundaries of art history to celebrate the vast range of human artistry across time and space. The book presents art in a way different from other art history compendia, revealing the diversity, or in many cases similarity, of man's artistic achievements through time and around the globe. Ordered chronologically, the resulting timeline of works leads to compelling browsing: surprising juxtapositions ... more

Andy Warhol Men

NZ$ 34.99 each

Paperback

Author: Andy Warhol

Published by: Thames & Hudson Ltd

In Stock: 2

Rarely seen and often created for his own delight, Pop artist Andy Warhol's images of men are among his most personal and sensual work. Andy Warhol Men showcases Warhol's illustrations, paintings, drawings, silkscreens, Polaroid studies and fine art photographs for the first time in this handsome and intimate volume. Mostly nudes, this gallery of delights includes the beautiful boys and drag queens who adorned Warhol's legendary Factory studio, as well as less racy illustrations of celebrated figures such as Christopher Isherwood, Truman Capote and James Dean. Warhol's perceptively funny observations are sprinkled throughout, while a preface places the work in the context of his career, and a foreword by Alan Cumming offers a witty reflection on art and desire. Andy Warhol Men is an elegant and playful celebration of male beauty.

Monet

NZ$ 34.99 each

Hardback

Author: Karin Sagner-Duchting

Published by: Benedikt Taschen Verlag

In Stock: 2

Claude Monet (1840-1926) was both the most typical and the most individual painter associated with the Impressionist movement. His long life and extraordinary work were dedicated to a pictorial exploration of the sensations which reality, and in particular landscape, offer the human eye. Monet's poplars, grain stacks, Rouen Cathedral, and water lilies paintings - among the most beloved works of the Impressionist period - were created long before the currents of the contemporary avant-grade and had an inestimable influence on the development of modern art. This book traces the life's work of one of art history's most beloved painters.

The Art of Charles F Goldie

Author: Roger Blackley

Published by: David Bateman Ltd

In Stock: 2

Winner of the Illustrative Arts Award, 1998 Montana New Zealand Books Awards.
Charles F. Goldie (1870-1947) is probably New Zealand's best-known artist. His popular fame has been fed by a stream of newspaper reports documenting record-shattering prices, thefts, vandalisms and forgeries. Descendants of Goldie's models revere the depictions of their ancestors, while others denounce his paintings as documents of colonial racism. The mystique surrounding Goldie and his works is unparalleled in New Zealand art.

Art That Moves : The Work of Len Lye (with DVD of films and sculptures)

NZ$ 59.99 each

Mixed-media pack

Author: Roger Horrocks

Published by: Auckland University Press

In Stock: 1

'Kinetic art is the first new category of art since prehistory', ex-pat New Zealand artist Len Lye boldly claimed in an essay in 1964. What did he mean by this? And how does his own work in sculpture and film bear it out? In The Art of Motion: The Work of Len Lye Roger Horrocks, the author of the best-selling 2001 biography of Lye, explores these questions. He describes the forerunners of this 'art that moves', then discusses in detail Lye's life and career as a kinetic artist, how he developed and envisioned his 'tangible motion sculptures' and how many of these are being realised only now, after his death. Lye himself wrote extensively about kinetic art; one chapter focuses on his theories about 'the art of motion', and relates these back to his practice as an artist. Horrocks concludes by discussing how Lye's ideas can be applied to other works and how they are relevant today. The Art of Motion includes a DVD containing a short ... more

A generation ago in 1987, New Zealand passed legislation to make the country nuclear free. To celebrate this wonderful achievement, writer Trish Gribben and Lopdell House Gallery have published a children’s book featuring Pat Hanly’s anti-nuclear paintings and Gil Hanly’s documentary

work made in fear or protest about nuclear weapons. In the story of New Zealand’s struggle to be nuclear-free no artist is more important than Pat Hanly. The gallery will be showing an exhibition of the fabulous works featured
in the book as well as Claudia Pond Eyley’s excellent documentary, No Nukes is Good Nukes and Gil Hanly’s Nuclear Free: Protest Photography. With thisbook and exhibition, we hope to engage an audience of ... more

Cone Ten Down : Studio Pottery in New Zealand, 1945-1980

Paperback

Author: Moyra Elliot & Damian Skinner

Published by: David Bateman Ltd

In Stock: 1

In the 1960s and 70s not only did potters flourish around the country but it seems that everyone's mum was producing mugs and bowls at night class. This phenomenon was part of a particualr philosophy of pottery - local materials and natural-looking forms, glazes and designs. All those small brown pots are now highly collectible and sought-after in op shops, second hand stores and, increasingly, at auction. Why did this style of pottery reach such heights in New Zealand? Who were the crafts people and what is the value of their work today? With over 100 photos especially taken for the book and photographs of leading potter's marks, this will be an invaluable book to the collector. Many 'characters' from that era featured in the book are still active in arts today, including Hamish Keith, Len Castle, Barry Brickell; and author Damian Skinner is particularly high-profile, with a number of major art publications out in the last ... more
