More about books and catalogues

Peter McIntyre was commissioned by Temple Sutherland, to paint this work for Sutherland’s book Maui and Me, A Search for a Fisherman's El Dorado.

Maui and Me, A Search for a Fisherman's El Dorado follows the journey of Temple and his wife, Sam, in their caravan, on their odyssey to discover some of the best fishing spots in New Zealand. 


Temple was described by a close family friend as, “a gentle, caring and loving man ... They often spent time with us at Lake Rotoiti and fished with my father in the Buller river. The painting shows him fishing at the mouth of the Buller river which was a favourite spot”.

 
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.
