Save to My Gallery

William Sutton Te Tihi o Kahukura and Sky, I 1976. Oil on canvas. Collection of Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū, purchased 1980

This exhibition is now closed

A collection of vast and breathtaking skies

Starting with John Gibb’s Shades of Evening, the Estuary – the first painting acquired by the Canterbury Society of Arts in 1881 – we trace the formation of the Gallery’s collection. Finding wonder and respite in artists’ tributes to the fleeting and intangible.
