'This publication documents and extends the exhibition I, HERE, NOW Vivian Lynn presented at the Adam Art Gallery Te Pātaka Toi, Victoria University of Wellington, between 25 October 2008 and 15 March 2009. Both the exhibition and the book set out to selectively survey the work of Vivian Lynn, an artist who has been working for nearly sixty years across a range of media: drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, book making, sculpture, installation and photography. Together they provide a substantial account of Lynn's work, the exhibition being the largest retrospective since 1982 (when she staged a modest mid-career survey at City Art Gallery, Wellington) and this catalogue being the only monograph yet dedicated to the artist. . .

This Publication documents the exhibition, providing a list of works, colour plates of key images and a number of installation views to serve as a record of that event. It sets out to extend the show by adding commentary on key works that could not be included and provide a range of insights into Lynn's work from writers, art historians, curators, and colleagues who know her work well and thus can enlarge on the curatorial approach taken by the gallery. In addition, the book presents a chronology of the artist's life and work that can be read in depth or dipped into as a reliable resource, with an exhibition history and a bibliography that canvasses key literature.'
