Edited by Natalie King
Many critics have traditionally dismissed Australian art as derivative. Australiana to Zeitgeist offers an immersive look at a new breed of early career Australian artists proving them wrong. Championing underrepresented and often, unrepresented up-and-comers, it delves into the various themes shaping the Australian psyche and showcases not only contemporary artists, but artists who are making work that is new and relevant. From a range of disciplines and working across multiple mediums, these rising stars are making waves here and offshore and setting the direction for generations to follow. From Australiana to Zeitgeist with Kitsch, Land Art and Xerox in between, this book brings together the work of 78 dynamic Australian artists you need to know, now.
This is the first book on Tracey Moffatt in ten years. She is one of Australia’s most celebrated artists with significant international acclaim, having presented at the Cannes Film Festival, Centre Pompidou, Paris and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Highly political and deeply personal, this publication situates Moffatt’s work in the international arena as an artist who takes the tempo of our times.

Australia’s most internationally-acclaimed artist of his time, Rupert Bunny’s life and career was predominantly spent in France before his return to Australia. Combining research from previously unknown letters and diaries with works from Bunny’s prolific output, David Thomas has created the first comprehensive history of the artist’s life and career. Over two volumes which include a catalogue of his oils, monotypes, works on paper, embroideries, sketchbooks, signature styles and canvas makers’ stamps together with solo and group exhibitions to date with their catalogues and reviews, The Life and Art of Rupert Bunny is a significant contribution to art history.
Richard Travers, the author of Diggers in France: Australian Soldiers on the Western Front, now turns his attention to the Australians who painted the Great War. In To Paint a War he follows artists such as Tom Roberts, Grace Cossington Smith, Hilda Rix Nicholas, Arthur Streeton and George Coates – detailing how they left Australia in search of inspiration and fame in London and Paris and lived enviable lives suddenly interrupted by the outbreak of war.

Blek Le Rat Ken McGregor
Blek le Rat is known worldwide for the quirky ideas and radical politics he has brought to his art form – stencilled street art. His paintings are autobiographical, born of his personal experience, and his art has inspired the post-graffiti street artists who have followed. After stencilling provocative images in major cities throughout the world, he now lives in a small town outside of Paris and maintains his presence on the street by pasting up posters. He has worked on the walls of the biggest museums in the world and the streets of the cities in which we live for almost four decades and many art historians have acknowledged him as the leader of the stencilled street art movement. This copiously illustrated book, with hundreds of stencilled images reproduced in colour, traces Blek Le Rat’s entire career to date. This book provides a detailed biography of the artist and traces the extension of his art to the works on paper and canvas now exhibited in art galleries throughout the world.

Restoring a Renaissance Garden in Tuscany Cecilia Hewlett
The garden at Palazzo Vai has had a checkered history. Six hundred years ago it conformed to the strict yet serene ideal of classical Italian paintings. In World War II, it was given over to practical purposes and cultivated for food. When Monash University took over the Palazzo in 2001, the garden had been replaced by a gravel carpark. An echo of the original garden remained, however. Still intact were the 15th-century wall frescos, Renaissance graffiti of court life. This was enough to inspire incoming director and renaissance scholar Cecilia Hewlett to propose restoring the garden to its original beauty. Renowned garden designer Paul Bangay and Carla Zampatti joined forces to bring the garden back to life. Including garden plans and plant suggestions from Paul Bangay as well as a beautiful visual history of gardens in the region, Restoring a Renaissance Garden in Tuscany celebrates the timeless inspiration of the Italian walled garden.

As the dream of home ownership in Australia and New Zealand is updated the detached house on a quarter acre block with a Hills Hoist has become an outdated ideal.

From suburban duplexes to medium-density apartment blocks and vertical living in twin towers, The Apartment House explores some of the best examples of contemporary multi-residential projects. Whether newly built or renovated, each project demonstrates the importance of the relationship between density and amenity, whilst showcasing the benefits of living in closer proximity to one another. This exciting collection of homes speaks to the 21st century lifestyle where smaller and closer is the new dream.

Prizing Diversity
Dr Christopher Heathcote shares the inside story of how private art galleries have paved the way for our leading artists to attract public attention. Inside The Art Market traces how a cluster of trailblazing gallery owners transformed the business of selling pictures in Australia. Upfront, street savvy, and enthralling, this book is an indispensable tool in understanding the role of the art market.

Accompanied by stunning images, Ashley Crawford traces the development of Payes’s career in which, in opposition to the ‘hyperstyled, highly colour-saturated’ photography of the digital age, she has quietly created a more personalised, monochromatic and moody language.
