Lot Details
acrylic and ink. signed and dated. 140 x 120mm. Note: Suzanne Goldberg (1940–1999) was a New Zealand painter, born in Auckland, New Zealand. She graduated from Elam School of Fine Arts in 1961 with honours and awarded the Joe Raynes Scholarship in her final year.At Elam, she studied alongside Don Binney, Michael Smither, Lynley Dodd, Greer Twiss, Malcolm Warr, and Graham Percy. In 1965 she received a Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council Grant which allowed her to travel to the United Kingdom and attend the Hornsey College of Art. In 1961, Goldberg exhibited with The Group, an informal art association from Christchurch. Its aim was to provide a freer, more experimental alternative to the academic salon painting exhibitions of the Canterbury Society of Arts. The Group exhibited annually for 50 years, from 1927 to 1977, and it was continuously at the forefront of New Zealand art's avant-garde scene. Many of the country's best-known artists were associated at some time with The Group. Among these are Colin McCahon, Lois McIver, Doris Lusk, Toss Woollaston, Rita Angus, Olivia Spencer Bower, Leo Bensemann, Rata Lovell-Smith, Philip Trusttum, Quentin Macfarlane, Rosemary Johnson and Douglas MacDiarmid.
