Fred Graham: Creator of Forms, Te Tohunga Auhaha

Moulding the toughest materials into expressive monuments echoing the grace of the natural world, Fred Graham’s (Ngāti Korokī Kahukura) artworks can be found in prominent public spaces across Oceania, from New Zealand’s Parliament to our very own Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki. Graham is highly regarded across Aotearoa and around the world as an influential figure in the contemporary Māori art movement, known for his sculptures exploring controversial issues through his unique fusion of Māori and European styles. In this rich retrospective including full colour photographs of Graham’s artworks, Maria de Jong reveals the stories behind this prolific artist whose work has spanned decades and whose impact will be felt for many more years to come.
