Gretchen Albrecht

Luke Smythe

Gretchen Albrecht CNZM is one of New Zealand's most influential painters. Over the course of her long career, her work has continued to surprise and delight, and her paintings feature in many important collections both in New Zealand and overseas. This comprehensive survey of her much-admired work reveals a painter steeped in art history, drawing freely from a range of sources to create vivid, intellectually persuasive and deeply affecting work, and determined to push her work in new directions.

This revised edition includes her practice since 2019 and also interrogates her Illuminations work of the 1970s, which she revisited and re-presented in 2022. With a detailed and rich text by leading art writer Luke Smythe, plus a foreword by art curator Mary Kisler, this magnificent book both interrogates Albrecht's work and celebrates her accomplishments.
