Denise Green: Beyond and Between – A Painter’s Journey was published to accompany a major retrospective of Australian-born, New York–based artist Denise Green at the University of Queensland Art Museum in 2016. The book explores Green’s remarkable artistic career, spanning more than 40 years, and her contribution to contemporary abstraction.
The volume also presents essays by art historian Michele Helmrich (then Acting Director of the University of Queensland Art Museum) alongside Green’s own writings, providing a dual perspective on her journey as an artist. Richly illustrated with reproductions of Green’s paintings, works on paper, and archival material, the book delves into her visual language, which merges Western abstraction with influences from Eastern philosophy and personal memory.
The title “Beyond and Between” reflects Green’s exploration of liminal states—between cultures, disciplines, and modes of perception—making this publication both an intellectual and visual journey through her work.
Produced in relatively limited print numbers, primarily for distribution through the museum, academic institutions, and exhibition audiences.
This signed book by Michele Helmrich (contributing author and curator) is relatively uncommon and adds notable collectible value.
