Gordon Walters: New Vision
Gordon Walters is widely renowned as one of New Zealand’s most important modernist painters.
Over six decades he explored the potential of a few simple geometric elements with a singular focus, creating works of exactitude and refinement.

His original black and white koru paintings from the 1960s are exhibited alongside never-before-seen paintings, studies and notebooks.
