Abstract A significant publication that accompanies a major retrospective exhibition of the same name developed by Dunedin Public Art Gallery in partnership with the Sarjeant Art Gallery Te Whare o Rehua Whanganui.

Joanna Margaret Paul is one of the major figures of our recent art history – an innovative and experimental artist who has found great resonance with a contemporary generation in Aotearoa New Zealand. This exhibition spans the full arc of Joanna’s career, celebrates her connection to many places across New Zealand, and the multi-disciplinary nature of her creative vision.

This generously illustrated publication features new essays by the exhibition’s curators Lauren Gutsell, Lucy Hammonds and Greg Donson, who were joined in this project by writers Pascal Harris, Emma Bugden, Andrea Bell and Joanna Osborne.
