Ken Unsworth
Anthony Bond OAM
ARTAND Foundation
Anthony Bond and leading Australian art historians and curators including Daniel Thomas, William Wright, Felicity Fenner, Jill Sykes, Anna Johnson and René Block reconstruct a timeline of the practice of contemporary Australian artist, Ken Unsworth; from its origins in 1955, spanning six decades to the present. Essays and interviews fill the pages accompanied by images of Unsworth’s paintings, works on paper, sculpture and maquettes, performances, land art, public works, collaborations with the Australian Dance artists, and his recurring piano pieces. Together, with excerpts of Unsworth’s own poetry, they provide a unique insight into his artmaking; how certain childhood and lived experiences, artistic influences and ideas as well as the encouragement of his beloved wife informed the work.
