Overview

Galleries of Australia & New Zealand is the first edition of a bi-annual guide to galleries that represent artists, makers and artisans working predominantly in the three-dimensional creative arts. The 47 profiled galleries range from well-established commercial enterprises in bustling metropolitan districts, to small pottery studios in rural communities. It also includes state and federal government-funded design bodies, and regional arts centres with specialist craft collections.The artists that these organisations support and represent are even more diverse. The 200 included in this book include potters, ceramicists, glass artists, jewellers and sculptors. It also incorporates artists working in wood, textiles, metals, found materials and plastics. And much of their work compares with the very best in the world, a claim confirmed by Grace Cochrane in her foreword: 'In this first decade of the twenty-first century the crafts in Australia and New Zealand are at a particularly strong point, with makers from several generations producing their most influential and inspiring work'. Galleries of Australia & New Zealand pulls that work together in a beautifully designed format at a cost accessible to everyone.
