For those of you who've been following us lately you will have noticed our increasing involvement with the McCahon House Trust. Set up to preserve the modest house in French Bay where McCahon moved with his family in 1953 and to establish an artist's residency in his honour, you can become a friend of the McCahon House for as little as $100 per annum. We will feature an advertisement for the McCahon House Trust in our next catalogue and will offer a work on behalf of a very generous vendor who is donating the entire proceeds from the sale to supporting the House Trust. The House Trust has a website (www.mccahonhouse.org.nz) where you can learn more. After the success of the event we ran in conjunction with the trust where Peter Simpson discussed the Elias painting and other McCahon works in our April catalogue, we will be looking to hold further events with them later in the year.
