As a guiding light for so many in our community, we hope you might look upon and smile at this simple object, on display at @Auckartgal. Each time this Martin Creed work is shown, it requires a lamp. Ron lent his to complete the work. Thank you for everything, Ron (1952-2023)
We are saddened to hear of Ron Brownson’s passing earlier today. Ron’s spirit, generosity and his dedication to Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki will always be remembered.

#ToiTūToiOra is the largest ever exhibition at @Auckartgal , featuring over 300 artworks (including 14 from the #chartwellcollection ) by 111 Māori artists.
Today marks the opening of Toi Tū Toi Ora, the landmark exhibition of contemporary Māori art. In anticipation of the documentary I am making on it, I’m proud to be a part of this historical moment with this immersive video.

We greatly valued knowing John as he enlarged our world in a very special way. Collecting and holding his work for public use brought us together. His presence in the #ChartwellCollection and at @auckartgal will remain in his memory.
