Séraphine Pick’s is one of New Zealand’s most highly regarded painters. This show surveys her work made between 1994 and 2009—from the early spectral dresses, leaky baths, and teetering suitcases to the recent psychologically charged dreamscapes—to trace Pick's ongoing interest in memory, identity, sexuality, and imagination. There are over eighty paintings, and a selection of works on paper. The show unveils several new paintings.
