Humphrey Ikin: Facing North

2 August - 28 September 1997 in the Entire Gallery
City Gallery Wellington continues its policy of presenting leading contemporary design with Facing North, the pieces of which were purpose-built for this exhibition.

Humphrey Ikin is a pioneer of the new Pacific minimalist design. His materials and inspirations are drawn from the local environment, but in their forms they link into the tradition of the international modernist aesthetic. Ikin’s unique furniture pieces have widespread appeal, as they are undoubtedly works of art, but practical, comfortable and durable as well.

The exhibition is supported by Creative New Zealand.
