New Zealand Sculpture - A History

A leading art historian explores a long-neglected but rich field of New Zealand culture. This book fills a major gap and will be a standard work. It shows the growth from an era of British imports through one of British influence to the dynamic twentieth century use of a much wider range of sources and materials and more personal forms of expression.
