For Keeps is a unique opportunity to see Auckland Art
Gallery's collecting activity with a sample of works acquired in
the past three years.
Each year, the gallery expands its collection of 14,000 works
by around 170 new items which are bought, gifted or on long-term
loan from the Chartwell Collection.
For Keeps highlights the diversity of emerging art practice
with bold displays by new artists. Curator Natasha Conland says
they show an innovative approach to materials..."Their canny ability
to make everyday objects do painless visual acrobatics, with a soft
and often beautiful landing."
Major works by renowned New Zealand artists Michael Parekowhai,
Peter Robinson and Julian Dashper are showcased alongside works
by international artists including Annette Messager (France), Bill
Henson and Hany Armanious (Australia).
