Allen Maddox’s impact on painterly abstraction in Aotearoa has been profound and has continued since his death in 2000. As the centre point to Abstract (Here Is The Thing), Ahuriri Contemporary presents two previously un-exhibited masterpieces by the late artist—one completed just before his death, and its counterpart a gift to his wife Marylou—alongside those by leading contemporary abstractionists. The exhibition will hold particular resonance, as Maddox was based in Ahuriri for a large part of his working career.
