Among a myriad of pioneering painters and makers, this issue of Art News turns its attention to photography, and the remarkable ability of images to transform the everyday into something meaningful.

Our cover artist, Derek Henderson features in the rerelease of The Terrible Boredom of Paradise, a book that invites us to reconsider the landscapes and moments that shape our sense of place, revealing beauty and complexity in the overlooked corners of Aotearoa New Zealand. 

This issue also features Abigail Aroha Jensen, Ana Iti, Andrew McLeod, Mike Hewson, Nephi Tupaea, Nigel Brown, Ophelia Mikkelson-Jones, Sydney Contemporary and Timothy Webby.
