Review of the “Beloved” Exhibition at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery

There is an astonishing and varied collection of art work in this exhibition, however my favourite of all the artworks exhibited at present is “Maybe Tomorrow” by Alvin Pankhurst.

This very large painting, tempera on board was done in 1974. It features a room in a typical New Zealand Victorian villa room, complete with a cast iron tiled fireplace, hearth and ornate mantle. The wall coverings are ornate and tapestry like, the wallpaper is erotic and art nouveau in style.
