Published in conjunction with the exhibition John Nixon Groups + Pairs 2016–2020 at Anna Schwartz Gallery, and following the unexpected passing of the artist in August 2020, this publication stands as a tribute to the profound artistic legacy of Melbourne's influential abstract artist and pioneering figure of radical modernism, John Nixon.

The exhibition meticulously documents the foundational themes of Nixon’s artistic journey from 1968 onwards. Central to the showcase are his paired paintings, exemplifying his unwavering commitment to geometric abstraction. 

Celebrating Nixon’s innovative contributions to contemporary art, this publication serves not only as a retrospective of Nixon's recent works but also as a testament to his enduring influence on the trajectory of abstract art in Australia and beyond.
