The students at Mairehau Primary school have been learning about abstract art. Here they are creating their own masterpieces inspired by Max Gimblett's quaterfoil painting.

The students screen printed a gold quaterfoil shape and then got expressive with the paint.

Having the opportunity to spend over a week in New York recently to work closely with the artist Max Gimblett and his studio assistants in making a selection from Max's extensive collection of works on paper for a gift to Christchurch Art Gallery rates as one of the highlights of my job as a curator.

New York-based New Zealand artist Max Gimblett has a new exhibition at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, US. The Sound of One Hand opened on 17 September, and it would have been nice to be there.
