Art books
|
Do you ever find yourself drawn to publications full of seductive images, flipping through pages just to stare at the pictures - alluring, double-page spreads of glossy full colour images? We're talking, of course, about art books.
Art publishing - catalogues, monographs, art history, art theory, art criticism - is an industry in itself, with very exacting standards.
Joining Peter Mares to discuss art and books is arts writer Chris McAuliffe, Director of the Ian Potter Museum of Art at the University of Melbourne. Chris's most recent publication is Possible Histories a monograph on the work of Melbourne artist Jon Cattapan, who also joins the discussion. With them is John Dunn, publisher of Piper Press, which specialises in books about contemporary Australian artists.
