| Title: A Man Holds a Fish |
| Contributions by: Peter Ireland By (author): Glenn Busch |
| ISBN10-13: 1991072015 : 9781991072016 |
| HAUNTING PORTRAITS BY ONE OF NEW ZEALANDâ S FINEST PHOTOGRAPHERS Selected by the legendary photographer himself, the 79 extraordinary images in Glenn Buschâ s A Man Holds A Fish cement and celebrate his reputation as one of New Zealandâ s most important photographers. Almost other-worldy, and striking in their humanity and emotional affect, the images in this resonant book bear returning to again and again. Buschâ s work secured public notice in 1984 with the publication of Working Men. As art writer Peter Ireland observes in his essay, â In the early 1970s . . . the social documentary tradition was the reigning, respectable approach, and Buschâ s work remains foundational, even after half a century retaining a vividness and force in its resistance to any tendency to idealise in his portraiture, as this book so clearly attests.â A handsome, large-format book, beautifully designed by Seven, this book serves as both an introduction to the work of a hugely influential and widely regarded figure in photography in Aotearoa New Zealand and a celebration of his place in our art history. |

| Title: Berry Boys |
| Sub-title: Portraits of First World War Soldiers and Families |
| By (author): Michael Fitzgerald, Claire Regnault |
| ISBN10-13: 099410412X : 9780994104120 |
| A surprise discovery in the 1980s unearthed the remarkable early twentieth century photographs of Berry & Co., now held in Te Papa's collection. Amongst the thousands of mystery images are more than a hundred of ordinary First World War servicemen, taken directly before the men left to fight. But who were they? A heartfelt public response has helped reunite many soldiers with their identities, and careful research has brought more to light. Though these soldiers represent only a tiny fraction of the thousands of men who departed to join the fighting overseas, through their poignant stories we are granted a remarkable lens on New Zealanders' experiences - their hope, anxiety, fear, pride and love - over the span of the Frist World War. Published alongside the TVNZ documentary, Berry Boys features the full collection of beautifully reproduced portraits, accompanied by the unique stories of the soldiers and their loved ones. Some died overseas, others lived long after the war and all were changed by it. Although they are only a fraction of the thousands of men who served, they offer a potent snapshot of the New Zealand of the time - and the changing face of the First World War itself. |

| Title: Crafting Aotearoa |
| Sub-title: A Cultural History of Making in New Zealand and the Wider Moana Oceania |
| By (author): Karl Chitham, Kolokesa U Mahina-Tuai, Damian Skinner |
| ISBN10-13: 0994136277 : 9780994136275 |
| A major new history of craft that spans three centuries of making and thinking in Aotearoa New Zealand and the wider Moana (Pacific). Paying attention to Pakeha (European New Zealanders) , Maori, and island nations of the wider Moana, and old and new migrant makers and their works, this book is a history of craft understood as an idea that shifts and changes over time. At the heart of this book lie the relationships between Pakeha, Maori and wider Moana artistic practices that, at different times and for different reasons, have been described by the term craft. It tells the previously untold story of craft in Aotearoa New Zealand, so that the connections, as well as the differences and tensions, can be identified and explored. This book proposes a new idea of craftone that acknowledges Pakeha, Maori and wider Moana histories of making, as well as diverse community perspectives towards objects and their uses and meanings. |

| Title: Dear Colin, Dear Ron |
| Sub-title: The Selected Letters of Colin McCahon and Ron O’Reilly |
| By (author): Peter Simpson Contributions by: Finn McCahon-Jones, Matthew O'Reilly |
| ISBN10-13: 1991165528 : 9781991165527 |
| A LONG FRIENDSHIP IN ART AND IDEAS THROUGH LETTERS This substantial book of letters selected by esteemed Colin McCahon scholar Peter Simpson shines a light on one of the most remarkable relationships in New Zealand art. The painter Colin McCahon and the librarian Ron Oâ Reilly first met in 1938, in Dunedin, when McCahon was 19 and Oâ Reilly 24. They remained close, writing regularly to each other until 1981, when McCahon became too unwell to write. Their 380 letters covered McCahonâ s art practice, the contemporary art scene, ideas, philosophy and the spiritual life. Dazzling in their range, intensity and candour, the letters track a unique friendship and partnership in art. The book is illustrated with 64 images, all discussed in the letters. Simpsonâ s selection represents the first time these letters have been transcribed and collected in what is an act of great generosity to future scholars. It adds a new dimension to an understanding of McCahon and his career and is a rich and lively addition to any art loverâ s McCahon library. Oâ Reillyâ s son Matthew Oâ Reilly and McCahonâ s grandson Finn McCahon-Jones contribute insightful essays that round out the unique perspective the letters afford. |

| Title: Dogs in Early New Zealand Photographs |
| By (author): Mike White |
| ISBN10-13: 1991150903 : 9781991150905 |
| Adorable and sometimes surprising historic images of New Zealand dogs and their owners. This entertaining selection of over 100 photos of New Zealand dogs reveals some of the more curious ways in which they have appeared in photographic collections from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Dogs named Terror, Betsey Jane, Floss and Erebus appear alongside canines whose names are no longer known. The photos range from carefully staged studio portraits to New Zealand landscapes. This book also shines a light on some significant dogs, from Scott of the Antarctic's favourite sled dog to the talented mascot of the New Zealand Army rugby team. The photographs take the reader across the towns and landscapes of Aotearoa New Zealand, and the text profiles many of the photographers and studios that flourished prior to the First World War. It also pays tribute to the museums and galleries that now care for these delightful collections. |

| Title: Dressed |
| Sub-title: Fashionable Dress in Aotearoa New Zealand 1840 to 1910 |
| By (author): Claire Regnault |
| ISBN10-13: 099414606X : 9780994146069 |
| When crinolines, bustles and ostrich feathers were the height of colonial fashion. This richly illustrated and lively social history explores the creation, consumption and spectacle of fashionable dress in Aotearoa New Zealand from 1840 to the early 1900s. Dressmakers were essential contributors to the development of New Zealand, and as a colonial outpost of the British Empire, New Zealands 19th century dress culture was heavily shaped by international trends. Interactions with Māori, the demands of settler lifestyle and the countrys geography all added another layer. Dressed teems with the fascinating, busy lives of early businesswomen, society women and civic figures. Featuring dresses and fashionable accessories from museums throughout Aotearoa New Zealand, and including over 270 images, this major book makes a significant contribution to histories of colonial dress. |

| Title: Gallipoli |
| Sub-title: The Scale of Our War |
| By (author): Puawai Cairns, Michael Keith, Christopher Pugsley, Richard Taylor |
| ISBN10-13: 1991150954 : 9781991150950 |
| The long-running Gallipoli: The Scale of Our War is one of Te Papas most popular exhibitions, attracting over three million visitors since it opened in 2015. There is still strong visitor interest in the story of the disastrous Gallipoli campaign in which almost 3000 New Zealanders lost their lives. Just as the exhibition does so compellingly, so this book deploys Wētā Workshops artistry to tell the story of the Gallipoli campaign through eight ordinary New Zealanders, the giants of the exhibition. With fold-out images, behind the scenes detail of how the giants were built and essays by those involved in the exhibition, this book is both a souvenir of Scale of Our War and an engaging way for readers to revisit the Gallipoli campaign. |
