Auckland University Press and Lamplight Books invite you to celebrate the launch of Tony Fomison: Life of the Artist by Mark Forman.
In a career spanning three decades, Tony Fomison (1939–1990) produced some of New Zealand’s most artistically and culturally significant paintings and drawings, the backdrop of which was a life—inseparable from his art—of enduring intrigue.
In this compelling biography, developed over more than a decade, Mark Forman draws on archival material and interviews with more than 150 people including Fomison’s family and close friends, leading contemporary artists, political activists, and art professionals. The result is a comprehensive yet lively and accessible biography that reveals the man and his art to a new generation of readers.
