The Chartwell Chair

Next date: Thursday, 21 November 2024 | 10:00 PM to Sunday, 01 December 2024 | 04:00 PM

The Chartwell Chair Project is a 50th Anniversary Project celebrating five decades of collecting by one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s leading art collections. The first acquisition into the Chartwell Collection was made in March 1974 and was Bill Sutton’s Threshold VIII (1973). To celebrate the Chartwell Chair, the Forrester Gallery has selected Portrait of Colin Vernon Wheeler (1943) by Sutton alongside a 1970s tub chair to encourage audiences to engage and spend time in the company of art.
