Gottfried Lindauer. The Māori Portraits

Gottfried Lindauer. The Māori Portraits

49 of Gottfried Lindauer’s Māori portraits are open to the public in Berlin’s Old National Gallery in collaboration with Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki.
It is the largest Lindauer exhibition ever to take place outside New Zealand and the only exhibition of the paintings outside New Zealand in over 100 years.
The Alte Nationalgalerie displays paintings by Gottfried Lindauer (1839-1926) who recorded New Zealand’s Māori culture in the late 19th- and early 20th-century.
The Berlin exhibition is significant as the descendants of the people depicted have given permission for the paintings to be shown outside of New Zealand, or Aotearoa as it is known in Māori culture.
