Submission declined on 18 December 2024 by QuicoleJR (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue).

Nathan Dunne (born 1980) is an Australian author.

Dunne was born in Brisbane, Australia.^[1] He spent his childhood in India, where his parents were Christian missionaries with The Navigators. He attended Clarence High School in Bangalore, India, before taking his undergraduate degree at the University of Sydney, where he graduated with the University Medal.^[1][2] He then won the John Crampton Scholarship to complete a master’s degree at the University of Cambridge.^[2] While at Cambridge, he published poems in small magazines.

Dunne received a PhD in art history from Birkbeck College, University of London, where his doctoral thesis explored the work of conceptual British artist John Latham.^[3] His teachers included Tom McCarthy and Laura Mulvey. During the completion of his PhD, Dunne worked at Tate Modern.^[1][4] He also founded a short-lived record label that produced audiobooks on vinyl records.^[5][6]

In 2025, Dunne’s book When Nothing Feels Real will be published by Murdoch Books, an imprint of Allen & Unwin.^[7] The book explores his life experiences and diagnosis with depersonalization disorder.^[8]

He previously wrote Lichtenstein, a short monograph that accompanied a major retrospective of the American pop artist Roy Lichtenstein at Tate Modern in 2013.^[9]

Dunne edited Tarkovsky, an anthology which explores the films of Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky. It includes essays by Jean-Paul Sartre, Marc Forster and James Quandt. The Times called it "an impeccably erudite tome"^[10] and there was a major review in The London Review of Books.^[11]

Dunne appeared as an expert in the documentary film Whaam! Blam! Roy Lichtenstein and the Art of Appropriation, released in 2022. The film won the Best Documentary award at the Crystal Palace International Film Festival. It was sold to multiple streaming services, and a DVD was released by Kino Lorber. The documentary featured Dunne endorsing the swiping of comic books for use in Roy Lichtenstein’s art.^[12]
