About this Title

McCulloch’s Encyclopedia of Australian Art has been the ‘bible’ of Australian art for almost forty years.

Now completely revised and updated, the NEW McCulloch’s includes more than 8000 entries on Australian artists, art movements, groups, prizes, awards, exhibitions and galleries; an extensive section on Australia’s Aboriginal art with detailed information on artists, community arts centres and regions; and more than 1500 new entries on contemporary artists and art styles.

Lavishly illustrated, this book documents and analyses Australian and Aboriginal art from the famous to the obscure, the colonial to the contemporary. Both a scholarly reference and a book to browse, it is the essential book for professionals, art collectors, students and all interested in the vibrant art of Australia.
