Description - Rosalie Gascoigne by Kelly Gellatly
This is a lavishly illustrated retrospective of the work of one of Australia's most inimitable and acclaimed contemporary artists. It features dedicated mailing and e-mail campaign to targeted art related media & organisations. In 1974, at the age of 57 and with no formal training, Rosalie Gascoigne (1917-1999) burst onto the Australia art scene with a solo exhibition at the Macquarie Galleries in Canberra. The quirky transformation of found materials - particularly her use of discarded farm machinery - that greeted visitors to her first exhibition had few, if any parallels in Australian art at the time. Success followed swiftly as Gascoigne went on to establish a reputation as one of Australia's foremost contemporary artists, exhibiting extensively in Australia and internationally. This lavishly illustrated volume presents readers with an unrivalled retrospective of Gascoigne's oeuvre from the box-like assemblages of her early career such as The Colonel's Lady to the large-scale installations and works constructed from retroreflective roads signs including Checkerboard (see above).
