The New Zealand Portrait Gallery is hosting author and historian Nicola Francis on Thursday 1 October, where she will launch her new book, My Own Sort of Heaven: A Life of Rosalie Gascoigne, published by Australian National University Press.
5pm, Thursday 1 October
New Zealand Portrait Gallery, Wellington
Joining for the event is curator, poet, painter, essayist, and anthologist Gregory O’Brien MNZM who will talk about Rosalie Gascoigne, her art and Niki Francis’s biography of her. Gregory curated the highly successful exhibition of Gascoigne’s work Plain Air at Wellington’s City Gallery in 2004 where Niki first saw Gascoigne’s work and was struck by its beauty.
Copies of My Own Sort of Heaven: A Life of Rosalie Gascoigne will be available for purchase on the night at the special price of $50. Nicola has generously chosen to donate all proceeds from book sales to the Gallery.
