GORDON WALTERS
1919-1995, New Zealand, researched and written over several years by Dr. Francis Pound. At Art Basel Hong Kong 2014, Starkwhite and the Walters Estate staged an exhibition of his koru paintings from 1956 - 1983, along with Chrysanthemum (1944), which is considered to be one of his most important early works.
Walters is a revered figure in New Zealand, recognised for a long and productive career spanning four decades. The Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki presented a retrospective exhibition of his work in 1983 and a survey exhibition Parallel Lines in 1994. He has been included in many survey shows, including A Very Peculiar Practice: Aspects of Recent New Zealand Art at the City Gallery, Wellington. Walters is represented in the country’s major public collections and his place in our art history is also memorialised in the bi-annual Walters Prize exhibition and award at the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki.
Starkwhite is delighted to work in partnership with the Walters Estate to further the understanding and reach of Walters artistic legacy.
