 “On that same logging road I often pause to pass the time of day at the shearing shed – a focal point in the countryside all over New Zealand and the centre of the sheep station’s activities.”

“The sheepdog…New Zealand wouldn’t be New Zealand without him. …These dogs are among the great performers of the whole animal world.  A whistle or a word convey an exact order to them and control the intricate manoeuvrings that bring a mob of startled nervous sheep through a whole series of gates and into the exact pens required.”

Peter McIntyre. (1964). Peter McIntyre’s New Zealand. A.H & A.W Reed Ltd, Wellington.

 
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.
