Auckland gallery Gow Langsford will open a new location in Onehunga, eight kilometres south of the city centre, on 6 April.
It will include gallery spaces, private viewing rooms, artist studios, and an art library.
Built as a factory by cosmetics mogul Helena Rubinstein in the 1950s, the building was redeveloped by Gow Langsford at a reported cost of N.Z. $8 million (U.S. $4.8 million).
The art space’s inaugural exhibition, This Must Be The Place (6 April–4 May 2024), will feature works by artists the gallery represents including Shane Cotton, Chris Heaphy, and Reuben Paterson, as well as others such as Robin White and Colin McCahon.
Earlier this month Gow Langsford announced that it now represents Australian artist Patricia Piccinini.
Piccinini creates fantastical creatures from silicone and other materials in a practice that seeks to expand our capacity for empathy.
She will give her first solo exhibition with the gallery in September. —[O]
