LONE WOLF: How Emirates Team New Zealand Stunned the World
$45.00 NZD
ISBN:
9781988516097
PUBLISHING 19 OCTOBER 2017 - so available after this date - This celebration of Emirates Team New Zealand’s winning the 35th America’s Cup in Bermuda in June is written by one of the world’s most influential yachting photo-journalists, Richard Gladwell, whose images also appear in the book, including those withheld prior to the Cup as they were "too revealing" of the Kiwi boat and technology. Gladwell closely followed Emirates Team New Zealand through its highs and lows after the 2013 upset in San Francisco. He captured the first images of the “cyclers” on the morning the AC50 Aotearoa was first splashed in Auckland and broke that story to the sailing world. He was in Bermuda for the 28 days of the regatta and had a ringside view of the racing from a photography boat – a unique position to see the highs and lows of the New Zealand campaign and to relate how this remarkable victory unfolded.

UNDREAMED OF: 50 Years of the Frances Hodgkins Fellowship
$60.00 NZD
ISBN:
9780947522568
In 1966 Michael Illingworth was awarded the inaugural Frances Hodgkins Fellowship: for the first time in New Zealand a practising artist was given a studio and paid a salary to make art for a whole year. Such support, as Frances Hodgkins wrote from her own experience, was capable of yielding up riches undreamed of. Poet and critic David Eggleton has described the fellowship as an emblem of cultural endeavour which holds a legendary status in the public imagination. The initiative and much of the early funding for the fellowship is thought to have come from poet, editor and arts patron Charles Brasch, and it was set up by the University of Otago Council. Fifty years later, the fellowship is still going strong, and this sumptuous book brings together the art and the stories of all the Frances Hodgkins fellows. Arts commentator Priscilla Pitts writes about their work, while journalist Andrea Hotere interviews the artists about their lives and sources of inspiration. The result is a vibrant celebration of the talent fostered through New Zealand’s foremost visual arts residency, showing how the artistic wealth created has flowed back into the culture of the country that nurtured it.
