EXHIBITED

Jonathan Grant Galleries, Peter McIntyre Exhibition, 2018 

This watercolour portrays St Mary's on its original site west of Parnell Road and was painted for, then donated to, the campaign to preserve the Cathedral on its original site.  The painting was auctioned and bought by the vendor's mother in 1981.  Peter McIntyre retained the copyright, making a limited edition of 150 prints.  They were sold to the public to defray the costs of the campaign.

 
Jonathan Gooderham

Jonathan Gooderham established his first Gallery, Jonathan Grant Gallery, in 1984. Jonathan has dealt in traditional and contemporary paintings of the highest quality from the 18th through to the 21st Century. He assists collectors to select quality art pieces, providing a scholarly background to each painting, advising on framing, hanging, insurance and all other aspects of collecting.

In 1989 Jonathan purchased ARTIS Gallery and moved both galleries to their current location at 280 Parnell Road, Parnell, right in the heart of the Creative Quarter of Auckland City. Today Jonathan Grant Gallery & ARTIS Gallery sit side by side offering clients a selection of both classical and contemporary art. In 2012 a third gallery space was developed to exhibit the gallery’s sculpture collection. The Basement Gallery offers clients the opportunity to view large scale sculptures and paintings from the stockroom.

Jonathan has also undertaken extensive research on the works of New Zealand expatriate artist, Frances Hodgkins.
