From an Historical Point of View: Works from the Collection

13 February –
31 March 1991

Henri Lebasque Across the bay Collection of Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū; May Schlesinger bequest, 1938

During February and March we will install within the northern half of the Gallery an exhibition of selected historical works from the permanent painting and works on paper collection.

Most are well known to regular gallery visitors, or are they? As with many a museum collection there is often more to exhibit than meets the eye.

Several works in this current exhibition exemplify this, four in particular have rather unique histories.
