Chartwell Collection

This collection of contemporary art from New Zealand and Australia has been held on long-term loan at the Auckland Art Gallery since 1997. It seeks to promote enquiry and understanding about the significance of contemporary visual arts practice and process.

The Collection is seen through a programme of annual new acquisition exhibitions, a major Chartwell exhibition which is held every three years, through its use by curators at the Auckland Art Gallery and through loans from the collection to exhibitions within New Zealand and overseas.

The Chartwell Trust administers the collection. The private charitable trust has demonstrated over 30 years of unswerving commitment to the visual arts in New Zealand, through the collection development and philanthropic programmes.
