The Field, the inaugural exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria in 1968 and shown afterwards at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, was no exception. Now, some sixteen years later, this exhibition The Field Now has been conceived in order to look again at the current work of artists who were selected for the earlier exhibition. [...] while this catalogue documents the current exhibition it also provides a forum for a contemporary discussion of The Field, the broader issues associated with the period of Australian art which that exhibition exemplified, and subsequent developments." - excerpt from foreword by Maudie Palmer • Texts by curator Sue Cramer, director Maudie Palmer, artists Ian Burn and Nigel Lendon, and writers John Stringer and Patrick McCaughey. Includes bibliographical references and full colour illustrations. • One copy via our website and in the bookshop. • #worldfoodbooks #thefieldnow #thefield #suecramer #heidemuseumofmodernart #maudiepalmer #ianburn #nigellendon #patrickmccaughey #johnstringer #roberhunter #dalehickey #robertrooney #gunterchristmann #robertjacks #peterbooth #sydneyball #alunleachjones #coljordon #dickwatkins #artandlanguage #paulpartos #johnpeart #tonybishop #ronrobertsonswann #jamesdoolin #udosellbach #tonycoleing #timjohnson #davidaspen #michaelkitching #alanoldfield (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)
