Toi Koru presents the first major survey exhibition of paintings by the Maaori master of colour and koowhaiwhai, Dr Sandy Adsett.

Featuring paintings created over six decades, Toi Koru tracks the trajectory of Adsett’s painting practice from the late 1960s to today.

The exhibition features artworks from major public collections, including the National Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki, as well as a new series of paintings created especially for the exhibition.
