Joan Kerr was a great suporter
of The Register in its formative years.
This forthcoming publication
charts the life and work of a remarkable member of the Womens' Art Register
and one of Australia's foremost art historians. Joan Kerr made a substantial
contribution to writing the history of many fields hardly touched on by
academics, curators and art critics until the 1970s and 1980s: Colonial
Architecture, Colonial Art, Women's Art, Indigenous Art, Popular Culture.
She worked tirelessly to
change the face of art history and expand the range of artists and artforms
considered to shape the history of and heritage of all Australians and
championed the cause of overlooked Australian artists, from artists working
a century ago to teenage producers of `Zines.
It was no surprise that Joan
Kerr considered the Women's Art Register to be an important cultural treasure
of Australia. She was a great suporter of The Register for over twenty
years.
This biography of Joan Kerr
is not available commercially only through
private subsrcitpion. You
can take out a private subsciption for this
book by James Sempler
