One of New Zealand's most important artists, Judy Millar revives gestural abstraction with an energy on a par with, perhaps even surpassing, Pollock, Twombly and Kline. In Millar's painting, the complete gesture is visible, brash in its vitality. This is the first comprehensive monograph on Millar, who represented New Zealand at the 2009 Venice Biennale.
