GIMBLETT, Max, 1935-
ORIGINS: Always, in these islands, meeting and parting, shake us, making tremulous the salt-rimmed air (Ceramic)
New Zealand painter Max Gimblett, based in
New York since 1972, spent his childhood living
above a shop in Grafton and exploring the paths
and gullies at the bottom of the Auckland
Domain. The site of many of those boyhood
haunts is now the home of The University of
Auckland’s Owen G Glenn Building where a
magnificent mural by Gimblett was completed in
January.
