todd from EarthDiverse

Join Waikato art experts Peter Dornauf & Norman Franke for a guided tour of the Auckland Art Gallery.

Enjoy and discuss masterpieces of European and New Zealand art history and of contemporary art. This one-day excursion takes place on Saturday 18 March 2023. Bus departs 8:45am sharp from in front of the EarthDiverse Centre at 401 Anglesea Street and returns by 6:00pm.
Price ($75 one person, $140 2 people) includes bus transport from Hamilton & GST.

Explore the taonga (treasures) of the Auckland Art Gallery with two art experts who have a background in art history and cultural history and who are themselves practitioners. The guided tours are interactive: A brief introduction into or contextualisation of the object d’art is followed by questions and answers and discussion. Using the two major shows ‘Myths of Masculinity’ and ‘Romancing the collection’ as a basis, we will have a look at portrait and landscape paintings, still lives and installations, myth making in and through art, social, political and cultural discourses in light of historical and modern art making.
