Exhibition Opening: Robert Ellis | Views of a City

Join us on Tuesday 10 March from 5-7pm for the opening of Robert Ellis' View of a City at Gow Langsford Auckland City.

Robert Ellis (1929–2021) occupies a pivotal place in the development of modern art in Aotearoa New Zealand. Born in England and trained at the prestigious Royal College of Art in London, Ellis arrived in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland in 1957 to take up a lecturing position at Elam School of Fine Arts at the University of Auckland. What began as an encounter with a new city became a lifelong engagement with land, history, and the complex intersections of Māori and Pākehā worlds.

This exhibition is presented with the support of the Estate of Robert Ellis.
