In this updated edition, Professor Michael Dunn has added a new chapter, ‘Crisis of Identity: Sculpture since 2000’, in which he discusses New Zealand sculpture’s international reach, its role at Venice Biennales and the importance of overseas-based New Zealand sculptors such as Francis Upritchard and Ronnie van Hout. Dunn also sees a new popularity for sculpture with the establishment of several outdoor sculpture walks. The book now charts the growth of sculpture from the era of British imports and influence to the more confident art of the 20th and 21st centuries. It includes a general bibliography and reading lists for each major artist. A popular companion to Dunn’s New Zealand Painting: A Concise History.
