Virginia King: Sculptor.

Publisher:
David Bateman, 2005.

Softback, large vertical crease to front cover and some pages, fading to covers, minor marks, otherwise very good with no inscriptions.
120 pages, illustrated.

The 120-page book spans her career from her beginnings in the mid-1980's up to 2005. It serves as a visual record and deep exploration of her artistic journey as one of New Zealand's leading contemporary sculptors.

• Artistic Philosphy: The book chronicles King's deep concern for the environment, her passion for linguistics/words, and her interest in history and microscopic biological organisms.
• Visual Catalogue: It features an extensive selection of full-colour reproductions documenting her sculptures. These span all scales—from intimate domestic pieces to monumental public installations.
• Materials & Mediums: It provides insights into how she shapes diverse elements such as Hinuera stone, bronze, aluminium, stainless steel, earth, and wood.
• Behind-the-Scenes Commentary: Crucially, the text features introductory essays by prominent art curators and writers (such as Gregory O'Brien) alongside personal notes written by King herself, which explain the background, inspiration, and context of each specific artwork.
