Artists Art Paintings 1980s Abstract Art Kevin Connor Barry Pearce

Kevin Connor: the 1989 limited-edition monograph on the Australian painter, signed and numbered by Connor himself. Barry Pearce’s authoritative text traces the artist’s move from London abstraction to raw, gestural figuration, making this first-edition hardcover indispensable for collectors of Australian modernism.

Housed in its original slipcase, the book is one of only 1,000 copies printed by Craftsman House. The substantial folio showcases colour plates of major canvases alongside preparatory drawings, giving readers an intimate view of Connor’s process and evolution.

A small patch of adhesive on the top-edge block causes slight tackiness between pages, but the leaves part cleanly and the images remain crisp. Aside from this minor production quirk, the volume is tight, bright, and ready for display.

Perfect for devotees of abstract art, first-edition hunters, or anyone building a focused Australiana shelf, this signed Kevin Connor book merges scholarship with scarcity in one collectable package.
