Peter Tapp’s Deus ex Machina is a scarce 1989 Australian art book that blends striking illustration with incisive commentary on the nation’s exhibition scene. This vintage paperback surveys key artists and landmark shows, making it a pocket-sized primer for collectors of Australiana and art-culture ephemera alike.

Rich visuals dominate every page, yet the clean, unmarked text block remains tightly bound and easy to read. The cover carries honest shelf wear—creases and scuffs that testify to decades of browsing—while the interior stays fresh from a smoke-free environment, free of notes or foxing.

Ideal for young adults discovering art history or seasoned hunters of antiquarian Australiana, Deus ex Machina slips neatly into a collection or gift pile. Its compact picture-book format invites repeat browsing and sparks conversation on Australia’s creative evolution.

Grab this illustrated curiosity before it disappears; affordable copies surface rarely online.
