Dear
art-lovers, media and friends of Awa Press,
Please join us this
coming Tuesday at an exciting event – ArtPublic -
where
we'll be launching our book Zizz! The
life and art of Len Lye,
in his own words, with Roger Horrocks.
New Zealander Len Lye is
not only recognised as one of the greatest
artists of the 20th century,
he was also an astonishing writer. This book
tells his story in a
fresh and original way that is very appealing.
We are publishing Zizz! with the
Govett-Brewster Gallery, which opens
its superb Len Lye Centre in New
Plymouth on July 25. After you've read
the book we think you'll be
beating a path to the Centre.
This special evening (see
invitation above) at the newly renovated
Wellington Museum will feature
Simon Rees, director of the
Govett-Brewster, talking with Roger about
Len Lye. Roger worked with
Len in New York and wrote his autobiography.
You will also be treated to some great wine and food.
If you can't make it, do
try and come along to hear Roger Horrocks and
Len Lye curator Paul
Brobbel talk about Len Lye at Unity Books,
the next day – 12 noon,
Wednesday, June 24.
Warm wishes,
Awa Press
