“Colorado is always beautiful, but in fall there is a soft loveliness as the riot of gold and yellow changes to deep greys and clear whites. 

The aspens are a particular feature of Colorado, marking the seasons with their colour and in just such a country as the gold miners of '58 delved, fought and froze.

"The tones of Autumn covered the hillsides, and along the route, which is roughly the old Spanish trail to Sante Fe, the whole of Colorado seemed a blaze of gold and russet. Up over the Continental Divide the hunters were coming by the thousands. I don't know about the deer, but seven hunters died on opening day, including one who hid behind a bush and made animal noises as a joke on his friends. All three shot him."

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.
