Sight Lines: Women and Art in Aotearoa - Kirsty Baker

Published by: Auckland University Press

Winner of: BEST FIRST BOOK AWARD ILLUSTRATED NON-FICTION

The Best First Book Award is sponsored by Mātātuhi Foundation.

An academic tome on the expansiveness and diversity of women’s art practice in Aotearoa, Sight Lines is derived from author Kirsty Baker’s doctoral thesis, and complemented with essays from eight other contributors. The book traverses many artforms and does a stellar job providing a vista through New Zealand art history across time, space and place. Liberally illustrated, with intentional, subtle design, Sight Lines will likely become a go-to text for tertiary art history students, and a point of reference within the country’s art analysis literature.
