Angels & Aristocrats: Grand Cultural Baggage

The current Auckland Art Gallery exhibition Angels and Aristocrats has gathered "Old Master" paintings from the major public galleries in New Zealand.

TJ McNamara, NZ Herald Art Commentator will discuss this exhibition focusing on individual works by Marcio d'Oggiono, Giudo Reni, Claude, Salvadore Rosa and Pieter Breughel the Younger among others.

As well as setting these artists in context he will also examine the social motivation that brought the works to New Zealand and established the galleries.

This is perfect to prepare you to see the exhibition or to appreciate all over again if you have already seen it.

Meet up only allows for $AUS. The cost is in fact NZ$15 or $10 for student/community/Gold card
