In 2004 the Sarjeant Gallery mounted the exhibition Fumpston Prints which was a comprehensive survey of thirty years worth of work by master printmaker Rodney Fumpston. Subsequently, the artist generously gifted this body of work to the gallery. Six years on this small exhibition offers viewers a chance to see a selection of these fine and diverse prints.

19 June – 24 October
This exhibition brings together artworks and objects from the collections of the Sarjeant Gallery and the Whanganui Regional Museum and is on display in both venues.
By mixing up artworks and objects – from the thickly painted surface of an oil painting, to the plush fur of a stuffed animal – this exhibition looks at what each colour means to us, how it shapes our response to the environment, to each other and to the things that surround us in our everyday lives.
The exhibition includes photography, printmaking, painting and sculpture and a diverse range of objects including an x-ray machine, an impressive pair of peacocks and a tiger skin rug!
Co-curated by Greg Donson and Damian Skinner.
