Introduction
This database and image library was compiled by the Colin McCahon Research and Publication Trust. It is published by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
The research project has been supported by the McCahon family, Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki, the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Rutherford Trust, Creative New Zealand: Arts Council of New Zealand Toi Aotearoa, Jenny Gibbs, Alan Gibbs.
The art of Colin McCahon (1919-1987) has been difficult to appreciate in its full range and depth. So few of his widely dispersed works have been reproduced in colour. It is our hope that this database, with its wealth of images, will be a significant aid in this regard.
