I was lucky enough to recently acquire my own copy of one my favourite books, Rodney Wilson's two-volume, case bound Catalogue Raisonne of Petrus van der Velden.

Outer Space programme sees Canterbury arts graduate exhibit work in Showhome
The Gallery's latest exhibition in the Outer Spaces programme, Showhome, has opened in Christchurch, featuring the disconcertingly 'perfect' works of recent University of Canterbury graduate Emily Hartley-Skudder.
Notes
Into the white
'The white cube.' It's copped a lot of artcritophilostorical flak over the past couple of decades. Ever since, in fact, Brian O'Doherty wrote his still wonderful series of essays gathered in the book Inside the White Cube. (Haven't read it? Do.)
Notes
Harvest
One of my favourite drives in the South Island is along the Motueka Valley Highway past Pangatotara and on to Motueka and Riwaka - not only for the stunning landscape and beautiful Tasman Bay beyond but also for the amazing hop gardens that predominate in the area.
Notes
Mirror image
While in Rome, I thought I'd take a look at the original, by Carlo Saraceni, of this work from our collection...
Notes
Jekyll and Hyde
If you enjoyed viewing Jason Greig's work in the exhibition De Lautour / Greig / Hammond, which is on now at the Christchurch Art Gallery's space at NG on Madras street, then make sure you don't miss his exhibition Jekyll and Hyde currently running at SOFA Gallery at the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts.
Notes
Here today....
It's a strange truism of exhibition installation that sometimes in order to set a show up, you need to first knock a wall down.
