Book Description
"The seal of the Prince of Yugoslavia, the icon that protected persecuted Russians, Monet's repurposed canvas, the excised first wife, the stolen Tissot ... all these stories can be found on the backs of paintings in New Zealand art museums. This ... book by three painting conservators explores the backs of 33 paintings, ranging from 14th century artworks to the present day, from Claude Lorrain to Ralph Hotere, and held in the collections of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o TÃ¥amaki and the Dunedin Public Art Gallery. Join them on their art-detective explorations"--Back cover.
