Lett Thomas
AucklandLett Thomas is a contemporary art gallery in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. The gallery represents international and locally based artists at the forefront of contemporary practice, and presents a programme of exhibitions focused on innovative practices from the present day and preceding decades. In addition, the gallery regularly produces art publications, ranging from artist books to collected writings.
Michael Lett was founded in 2003 by Michael Lett and opened in a ground floor shop front space on Karangahape Road. Over the last two decades the gallery has expanded its roster of represented artists, and occupied three locations to offer new possibilities for the presentation of artists’ work. Today the gallery is co-owned and directed with Andrew Thomas, who joined the gallery in 2010. In 2026, after more than a decade of partnership, the gallery was renamed Lett Thomas.
Artists represented by Lett Thomas regularly participate in local and international museum exhibitions and biennials, and their work is held in major public and private collections in New Zealand and across the globe.
