Home and Away: Recent Acquisitions from the Chartwell Collection

3 February - 31 March 2001 in the Entire Gallery

Founded in 1974 by Hamilton businessman Robert Gardiner, the Chartwell Trust is dedicated to the purchase and presentation of challenging contemporary art which reflects the innate qualities of culture and environment in Australia and New Zealand.

This collection of over 600 works is now administered by Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki, with Home and Away being the first substantial exhibition drawn from the collection since 1991, and the first to tour extensively.

Curated by William McAloon, the exhibition draws on trans-Tasman similarities and differences to showcase significant pieces by Colin McCahon, Rosalie Gascoigne, Tony Tuckson, John Reynolds and Imants Tillers. It highlights the ongoing commitment of the Chartwell Trust to emerging artists (Giovanni Intra, Mikala Dwyer, Hany Armanious, Seraphine Pick) and indigenous artists (Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Billy Stockman Tjapaltarri, Shane Cotton, Jacqueline Fraser) in both countries.
