SERIOUS PLAY: The Art of Kevin Mortensen

Kevin Mortensen

1cm x 1cm

By Rob Haysom.

Kevin Mortensen came to prominence in Australia and internationally as an early and highly regarded practitioner of performance art. He represented Australia at an early Venice Biennale and was a major figure in the Mildura Sculpture Triennials, which helped establish contemporary sculpture in this country in the 1960s and 1970s after a long period in which the art form languished. Author Rob Haysom provides a beautifully written and researched account of Mortensen’s entire career and the book is lavishly illustrated.
