In November 2017 a retrospective survey of Gordon Walters' artistic practice will open at Dunedin Public Art Gallery and will continue at Auckland Art Gallery in mid-2018. The exhibition will be accompanied by a significant publication.
Developed in partnership between Dunedin Public Art Gallery and Auckland Art Gallery, and curated by Lucy Hammonds, Laurence Simmons and Julia Waite, this exhibition provides an opportunity to explore Walters' work from its earliest stages in the 1940s through to the artist’s last works from the mid-1990s.
Including works from public and private collections across New Zealand, and material from the Gordon Walters Estate collection, this exhibition explores Walters' abstraction as a rich and continuing process across a career extending over five decades.
