Mary Kisler

Random House New Zealand Ltd. Hardback. Near Fine. First Edition. 392p (6p) Laminated boards Near Fine With many illustrations, a wonderful almost catalogue of the riches from early European art held in New Zealand art galleries. Signed on pre title page by the author

".....It is entirely possible to immerse oneself in the glories of European art without having to travel to the Louvre, the Uffizzi, the Tate or the Frick.

That's because New Zealand's public art galleries are richly studded with works collected by benefactors over the last 150 years and generously gifted to the nation.

Many are infrequently seen and the richness of the collections often goes unacknowledged. In this outstanding book, respected curator Mary Kisler delves into the storerooms and reintroduces our historic art treasures (and those generous individuals who collected them) to us.

Superbly illustrated, accessibly written and meticulously researched, Angels and Aristocrats is both a long-overdue celebration of magnificent and important works and also an indispensible and expert guide to art history...."
