"Hong Kong bursts upon the senses in its opulence and splendour to delight the eye, tempt the palate and assail the ear with the cymbal clash, the high quaver of a thousand Oriental sounds. Life in Hong Kong is delightful; there is no more exciting place on this earth.”
Peter McIntyre. (1962) The Painted Years. A.H & A.W Reed Ltd, Wellington.
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.
