The Dunedin Public Art Gallery
and Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki have partnered to present Gordon Walters:
New Vision, an exhibition of more than 150 artworks by Gordon Walters
(1919–1995).
Two years in the making, and
with unprecedented access to the private archives of the Walters Estate, this
exhibition offers a unique opportunity to examine the breadth of more than
fifty years of Walters’ practice.
A substantial publication,
Gordon Walters: New Vision, has been co-published by Auckland Art Gallery and
the Dunedin Public Art Gallery to mark the occasion of this exhibition.
RRP - $79.00
This
definitive and sumptuous book presents colour plates of works in the exhibition
alongside other key works and includes essays by the three curators of the
exhibition – Lucy Hammonds (Dunedin Public Art Gallery), Julia Waite (Auckland
Art Gallery) and Professor Laurence Simmons (University of Auckland) – and six
leading New Zealand and international scholars (Deidre Brown, Peter Brunt, Rex
Butler, A.D.S. Donaldson, Luke Smythe and Thomas Crow) that reflect upon and
reconsider the relationship between Walters’ work and his key sources of
inspiration and influences.
