"You want a landscape? Take a drive in the country." Milan Mrkusich's blunt advice to Woman's Weekly magazine readers in 1969 was made in the face of intense hostility towards abstract art. Trans-form brings Mrkusich's now highly revered abstract painting to City Gallery Wellington. Curated by Alan Wright and Edward Hanfling, this exhibition presents Mrkusich as an alchemical transformer of media and materials.
A Gus Fisher Gallery exhibition in partnership with City Gallery Wellington.
