This exhibition, Don Driver: Banners at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, focuses solely on Driver’s robust banner works – texturally rich collages that began in the 1970s and remain a vital part of the artist’s practice today. Driver was a pioneer in the use of assemblage which has featured prominently in New Zealand art, experiencing a resurgence of popularity amongst contemporary artists in the past few years. Don Driver: Banners marks the first major exhibition of Driver’s work at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery since his 1999 retrospective, With Spirit.   [ BACK ]
