TOM KREISLER AT GOVETT-BREWSTER

Just about to open at New Plymouth’s Govett-Brewster is Tom Kreisler, the first comprehensive survey of Tom Kreisler (1938-2002), an artist critic Wystan Curnow calls "possibly New Zealand’s most under-recognised important painter". Curated by son Aaron Kreisler, the exhibition features more than 40 large-scale paintings, altered ready-mades, works on found materials, drawings and notebooks in a reconsideration of the artist’s work and its impact on fellow artists, writers and critical thinkers across New Zealand.

Tom Kreisler runs at Govett-Brewster Art Gallery 3 March-13 May.

Set to coincide with the opening of Tom Kreisler is the launch of comma dot dogma, a 196-page monograph of Kreisler’s work with four new texts by Wystan Curnow, John Hurrell, Deborah Cain and Aaron Kreisler. The book is the first to be released by Umbrella, the Wellington-based print and publication design company.
