About 50 artworks by 17 leading New Zealand contemporary artists will be shown in Milford Galleries Queenstown from Saturday.
Metal sculptor Neil Dawson, of Christchurch, the man who created the still-standing Chalice totem in the city's Cathedral Square, plus cast-glass artist Ann Robinson, oil painter of garden settings Karl Maughan and expressionist pop artist Dick Frizzell, all of Auckland, are among the talents whose work will be on display on both floors of the gallery on Church Lane.
Art consultant Jacinta Byron said on Monday "Chosen" was the gallery's first group exhibition of the year.
"It brings together some of the best examples of painting, glass and sculpture from the artists we represent.
"Evocative landscapes, masterful cast-glass works, intricate sculptures and dynamic painted surfaces show the diversity and quality of selected New Zealand artists' works."
"Chosen" runs from February 11 to March 7.
