$NZ49.95

CHRIS Booth is one of New Zealand's best contemporary sculptors - his large stone columns are iconic pieces.

This excellent book examines 34 of Booth's most important works in New Zealand, Australia and Europe, with photographs of the sculptures in situ, as well as during construction.

Booth works with natural materials and his sensitivity to the environment is evident in all the sculptures featured, both here and overseas.
