About This Item
Melbourne : Macmillan Art Publishing, 2007 . Quarto, boards in dustjacket, pp. 394, illustrated. Fine copy of an out of print title. Signed by Sonia Payes and dated 2007. This richly illustrated publication provides sensitive, rare and enticing insights into the lives, works and unique studio environments of 60 significant artists. As artist Sonia Payes' latest publication, it was timed to coincide with the 2007 Venice Biennale in which several of the book's artists have represented Australia. It was received with enthusiasm in Venice and in London. Two years in their compilation, and requiring travel across Australia and overseas, around 700 images offer outstanding visual descriptions of how and where individual Australian artists live and what fires their imagination. The 400 spectacular pages are introduced by art critic and academic, Professor Ted Snell, and expertly designed by Simon Strong. Commentary on each artist is provided by a prominent author, of whom more than fifty have participated. Includes portraits of Rick Amor, Richard Bell, Peter Churcher, Emily Floyd, James Gleeson, Dale Hickey, Robert Jacks, David Keeling, John Kelly, Euan Macleod, John Mawurndjul, Callum Morton, William Robinson, Garry Shead, Jeffrey Smart, Aida Tomescu, John Wolseley, Jan Senbergs, Bronwyn Oliver, Susan Norrie, Imants Tillers, and many others.

Our stock at Douglas Stewart Fine Books is diverse: we have rare books across all fields, but our strengths are in travel and exploration – particularly of Australia and the Pacific – and Australian art. In addition to rare books, we deal in all types of heritage material, including photographs, manuscripts, maps and globes, and fine art. Every month we issue a new online catalogue of New Acquisitions, and recommend that you join our email list to be the first to see what's available.

We love meeting new people and welcome visitors to our shop, which is open six days a week. If you cannot make it to Melbourne, you can find us at major fairs in London, New York, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, Toronto, San Francisco, Boston, Hong Kong or Sydney. We're pleased to invite you to any of these exhibitions as our guest.
Last, but not least, we buy books – from important single items to entire libraries – and we'd be pleased to provide advice on the best way to sell your collection.
