Barry Pearce’s Kevin Connor is a handsome 1989 first-edition monograph celebrating the Australian painter’s raw, expressionist power. This limited, slip-cased volume pairs Pearce’s perceptive essay with generous colour plates that let Connor’s restless brushwork speak for itself.
Every copy in the small print-run was personally signed and hand-numbered by Kevin Connor directly on the limitation page, making each book a unique piece of art ephemera. The hardcover retains its original Craftsman House jacket and snug case, presenting beautifully on the shelf or in a vitrine.
Condition notes: a faint sticky spot on the top edge has left a few adjoining pages lightly adhered; they separate cleanly without tearing and the interior remains crisp, bright, and entirely readable. A collector-grade find for devotees of Australian modernism, abstract art books, or signed artist monographs.
