Rutherford Trust landmark exhibition

The Rutherford Trustees and the Trustees of the James Wallace Arts Trust are pleased to announce an exhibition of important artworks selected from The Rutherford Trust Collection.

The Rutherford Trust was established in 1988 as part of the Electricity Corporation of New Zealand’s commitment to “encourage and enhance New Zealand’s cultural life and heritage”. Part of this mission was achieved by building up a collection of artworks over a number of years with the aim of reflecting the development of 20th century New Zealand art and making this collection available to the New Zealand public.

A significant range of work from leading artists is included in the Exhibition in order to promote a broader awareness of the Rutherford Trust Collection and its place in our recent cultural and corporate history.
