DEUS EX MACHINA by Peter Tapp is a scarce 1989 Australian picture book that pairs striking illustrations with a concise nonfiction look at art, exhibitions, and the nation’s cultural shifts. Collectors of Antiquarian & Collectible Australiana prize the title for its vintage vibe and visual flair.

The 64-page paperback remains tight and unmarked; pages are crisp and bright with no writing or stamps. While the illustrated covers carry the gentle edge-wear typical of a well-traveled three-decade survivor, the binding is solid and ready for display or reading.

Young adults and adults curious about Australian history, artists, and curatorial practice will find Tapp’s accessible narrative a quick but enlightening journey. The generous artwork makes it equally suited to the art shelf or the design studio.

This smoke-free copy offers an affordable entry point into late-80s Aussie art publishing without the premium price of a pristine fine-press edition.
