The Back of the Painting

Painting conservators Linda Waters, Sarah Hillary and Jenny Sherman explore the backs of thirty-three paintings, ranging from fourteenth-century artworks to the present day,  held in the collections of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki and the Dunedin Public Art Gallery.

"It is an intriguing and illuminating book which helps expand ones appreciation of artworks and helps remove some of the mystique around artists and their work.”  John Daly-Peoples (New Zealand Arts Review)
