Lot Details
watercolour, signed & dated 6/10/92. 555 x 360mm (sheet) n.b. works from this series were completed by Turrner as the Artist in Residence at the Tylee Cottage in Whanganui (as offered by the Sarjeant Gallery) during August through December 1992. Whanganui-born, Turner was a contributor to the modernist movement in New Zealand influenced by fellow artists Theo Schoon and Gordon Walters.
