Transformation - The Val Raymond Legacy Art Exhibition

Late Taupō Artist, Val Raymond’s legacy exhibition to transform Taupō Museum galleries.

An extraordinary selection of the very diverse artwork of the late New Zealand artist, Val Raymond, is being exhibited in Taupō to honour and celebrate her life’s work. Val’s family have selected an unusual collection of her paintings created over seven decades to create the exhibition titled ‘Transformation’.

Known for years for her portraiture and landscapes, Val Raymond was well recognized and best known for her meticulous research mainly in the Central North Island and Lake Taupō environment, which was a strong foundation to build on and grow creatively from.

‘Transformation’ will highlight the progression of Val’s work over the decades including works from her acclaimed major collections such as the ‘Exhibition Millennium 2000 – Feather and Fibre’ abstract expression series, which followed what could be described as her “all-consuming, creative metamorphosis” during the 1990s.

‘Transformation’ will be on show in both galleries at Taupō Museum from Saturday 19 February until Monday 28 March.

Taupō Museum is open 7 days from 10am to 4:30pm and entry is free to Taupō District residents with proof of address.

Taupō Museum is operating under the Covid 19 framework and a vaccine pass is required for entry.
