New Zealand Art: from Cook to Contemporary guides the reader on a journey through a generous selection of works from the national collection held at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. With over 200 beautiful reproductions and essays by 38 of New Zealand's top art curators and critics, as well an engaging, accessible introductory essay, this selection includes many of the collection's best-loved and most significant artworks and reflects the progression of New Zealand art - from historical to cutting-edge. In these pages, iconic works from major artists like Goldie, McCahon, Angus, Hotere, Albrecht, and Cotton sit alongside lesser-known treasures, making New Zealand Art: Cook to Contemporary the definitive, accessible sampler of New Zealand art and artists. NB: New Zealand Art contains text and images drawn from Art at Te Papa (2009), which is shortlisted for Best Illustrated Non-Fiction in the 2010 NZ Post Book Awards
