Encounters with Australian Modern Art
by Christopher Heathcote, Patrick MacCaughey and Sarah Thomas
Encounters with Australian Modern Art represents a vital milestone in the presentation of Australian art to a worldwide
readership. It is published in French and English, and lavishly illustrated with more than 200 iconic images, many
drawn from the collection of the TarraWarra museum of Art. The authors have witnessed first-hand the development of
Australian Modernism during the second half of the twentieth century, when the careers of its leading artist practitioners
were firmly established.

La scultura incontra la realtà
edited by Gabriele Caioni
A full generation younger than Duane
Hanson and John de Andrea, Carole A.

and lifelike figure sculpture, down
to the tiniest detail. When she turned to
sculpture in 1978, she took super-realism
in a new direction: she got personal.

Lucy Jochamowitz
Lucy Jochamowitz is an uncommon artist, known for her
installations with feminine, doll-like figures with large
skirts of various sizes and materials that inspire surprise,
commotion and admiration. The artist’s original iconography
surprises as much as the techniques and materials
employed reflect exceptional skill. This catalogue of
Jochamowitz’s works should provide her with the recognition
she deserves. Italian and English text.
