Waharoa in Te Papa’s Wellington Foyer This fine example of a traditional waharoa (gateway) was commissioned for the New Zealand Government by Augustus Hamilton, the director of the Colonial Museum, Te Papa’s forerunner. In 1906, it featured in the New Zealand International Exhibition in Christchurch. Here it formed part of a double stockade that enclosed the exhibition’s model pä, called Araiteuru. The work was carried out by master carver Neke Kapua and his sons Tene and Eramiha, of Te Arawa’s Ngäti Tarawhai tribe, Rotorua, in 1906. The waharoa is carved from a 22–metre single slab of tötara that came from the central North Island. 1 Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa of new museum Annual Report 2006/07 Te Pürongo ä-Tau 2006/07 In accordance with section 44 of the Public Finance Act 1989, this annual report of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa for 2006/07 is presented to the House of Representatives. zealand te papa tongarewa te papa zealand John Judge Glenys Coughlan Chairman Board member 31 October 2007 31 October 2007 annual report 2006/07 report annual Contents Ngä Ihirangi Performance at a glance He Tirohanga ki ngä Whakatutukitanga 2 1 Operating Framework Te Anga Whakahaere 5 1.1 Concept 5 1.2 Corporate Principles 5 1.3 Functions and Alignment with Government Priorities 7 2 Overview Statements Ngä Tauäki

At the outset we had confidence in the strength and quality of contemporary New Zealand art, as well as our vision for it in a secondary market context. Nonetheless we could not have envisaged the success of our launch auction, or its effect on the wider market. Our inaugural auction in this sector achieved a quite incredible 82% sale rate by value and by volume. Record auction prices were achieved for no fewer than 18 artists. While the figures are impressive, ART+OBJECT’s commitment to contemporary art is not simply about the functioning of the marketplace, it comes from a deep engagement with the art of our time, its practitioners and the wider art environment we participate in. That is why so much care is taken with the catalogue and the pre-auction exhibition of the artworks to be offered for sale. Our plan was always to present two specialist Contemporary Art catalogues per year and the positive feedback we have received from artists, gallerists and collectors reinforces our commitment to continue offering contemporary art at auction.

A+O’s inaugural auction on May 3rd presents a new direction for the auction sector in New Zealand. In the last few months the directors of ART+OBJECT have met many collectors, artists, gallerists and arts professionals whose support has been fundamental to the direction of the company and this catalogue. This support has been most appreciated and we look forward to meeting many more arts lovers at our new auction rooms and gallery space at 3 Abbey Street in Newton during our pre auction viewing and exhibition which opens on April 27th. For those who cannot visit our physical premises please visit our website www.artandobject.co.nz for an online viewing. For those who are yet to visit ART+OBJECT or have not met the founding directors, please turn to page 92 for a brief description of the A+O team. Hamish Coney, Ross Millar, James Parkinson and Ben Plumbly together bring over fi fty years industry experience to the New Zealand marketplace. ART+OBJECT is based on the belief that a new, more contemporary voice is required to re-invigorate the New Zealand auction scene. This inaugural auction catalogue is an indication of the new directions you will see at A+O. Whilst it seems scarcely believable that A+O is the fi r st new entrant into the New Zealand auction scene for more than thirty years the response we have had since our inception has indicated that there is plenty of scope for new sale categories and ideas.

The thesis will also readdress Schoon's importance to the development of modernist art in New Zealand and Australia, through a detailed examination of his life, his development as an artist (with particular attention to his life in the Dutch East-Indies, and his training in Rotterdam, Netherlands), and his influence over New Zealand's artistic community. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Acknowledgment and thanks are due the following: My thesis supervisor Jonathan Mane-Wheoke, without whose breadth of knowledge and practical wisdom, this thesis would not have been possible.
