Keith Haring’s art and life typified youthful exuberance and fearlessness. While seemingly playful and transparent, Haring dealt with weighty subjects such as death, sex and war, enabling subtle and multiple interpretations. Throughout his tragically brief career, Haring refined a visual language of symbols, which he called icons, the origins of which began with his trademark linear style scrawled in white chalk on the black unused advertising spaces in subway stations. Haring developed and disseminated these icons far and wide, in his vibrant and dynamic style, from public murals and paintings to t-shirts and Swatch watches. His art bridged high and low, erasing the distinctions between rarefied art, political activism and popular culture. Pop Shop I is part of a suite of four screen prints on paper created by Haring in 1987. Each are available in editions of 200. ”Here’s the philosophy behind the Pop Shop: I wanted to continue the same sort of communication as with the subway drawings. I wanted to attract the same wide range of people and I wanted it to be a place where, yes, not only collectors could come, but also kids from the Bronx….. was still an art statement.” - Keith Haring

Particularly within the context of New Zealand’s art history Goldie’s portraits of Maori have been both celebrated and condemned in equal measure: Adored and coveted by collectors, ignored or dismissed by critics as being formulaic or demeaning of their subjects. The averted gaze, the downcast eyes have become the leitmotif of Goldie’s visual message, collectively nurturing and supporting the attitude prevailing at the time this work was painted – that Maori was a dying race. The demeanour of Arawa Chieftainess Ngaheke in her portrait displays several of these characteristics. But there are certain other notable features which make the work unique amongst the other Goldie portraits of this period. It is very much purely head and shoulders format on a small sized canvas, perhaps painted from a photograph at the request of another member of her whanau. Personal adornment such as greenstone earrings, hei tikis or cloaks are notably absent. In the preceding year of 1915 Goldie had painted a larger format profile portrait of Pirira Te Kahukura (Ngaheke) entitled The widow displaying all of these items. These tend to draw the viewer’s attention to Goldie’s technical abilities and deflect from the emotions of the sitter. This much smaller portrait emphasises the emotions and thoughts which Ngaheke might be experiencing. The hand supporting the head, a traditional sign of melancholy, conveys an attitude of resignation which reinforces the overall portrayal of her despondency. Culturally the downcast eyes or averted gaze could also be shielding her wairua/spirit from the intrusion

of imagery of any kind. Her downcast eyes create uncertainty between deep meditation or actual sleep. The muted coolness of the green background almost merges with the pattern of the familiar checked blanket over Ngaheke’s shoulders so that her face and head are brought forward and fill the canvas more significantly. The pipe bowl is empty suggestive of an inner emptiness. Conscious of the nineteenth century history of Maori/ European contact with its wars, land sales and confiscations and her own more immediate personal loss this particular portrait of Chieftainess Ngaheke transcends ethnic or sociological considerations. The Goldie ‘formula’ combined with his meticulous technique greatly benefits from the limited size of the canvas to convey in simple and direct terms a very human study of sadness. Tony Mackle

31 Ralph Hotere (1931-2013) Drawing for Ian Wedde’s Pathway to the Sea watercolour & Indian ink on paper signed, inscribed with title and dated ‘Hotere/ Port Chalmers/ ‘75’ (lower right) 56 x 76cm $12,000 - $20,000 P RO VENANCE originally purchased from Dawson’s Gallery, Dunedin Private collection, Auckland

Despite Ralph Hotere’s status as one of New Zealand’s pivotal twentieth Century artists - he leaves behind an oeuvre shrouded in mystery and subject academic conjecture. Hotere’s reticence concerning the meaning and intention in his art has become an integral part of the artist’s legend. So too has the pointed outrage he could display in political, social and environmental matters. Consequently, with Hotere’s drawings for Ian Wedde’s ‘Pathway to the Sea’, we are left with a rare body of work in which his intent is unmistakable.

In Hotere’s Drawing for Ian Wedde’s “Pathway to the Sea”, the watercolour background is stark and softly variegated - evocative of smog and oil-slicked water. Hotere’s archetypal thin bands of precisely uniform verticals divide the sheet. They provide an unequivocal visual tension, yet their sheen is seemingly at odds with ominous foreboding that envelopes the work as a whole. Perhaps they can be read as a ‘glimmer’ of hope retained by protestors and those within the Aramoana community. After all, the proposed smelter did not proceed.

Pathway to the Sea, written in 1974 (and now an iconic New Zealand literature work), is an environmental protest poem - Wedde’s retaliation to the proposed construction of an aluminium smelter in the South Island township Aramoana. Hotere’s subsequent drawings are a supportive outcry and declaration against the destruction of the landscape and environment.

Whatever the artist’s intent for his visual devices, elements of the work subtly combine in a show of what Vincent O’Sullivan aptly describes as Ralph Hotere’s ‘aesthetically refined fury’.1

This important kumete whakairo is one of three large and historically significant figure supported bowls that were carved between 1865 to 1885 by the master carver Patoromu Tamatea. It was presented to the member of Parliament, Robert Graham in 1878 along with three other Taonga for his assistance in resolving a major land dispute between two Te Arawa chiefs in Maketu in the Bay of Plenty. Patoromu Tamatea of Ngati Tamateatutahi hapu, Ngati Pikiao, Rotorua has long been recognised as an important carver and community leader from the Te Arawa region. Patoromu is known to have carved waka (canoes) and tekoteko (carved gable figures) alongside smaller items such as weapons,tokotoko (ceremonial walking sticks) and heru (combs). The Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa and The Auckland War Memorial Museum, both hold collections of his pieces. His most significant work and most important contribution to the history of carving from the Te Arawa region though is in regard to his carving of large figure supported bowls, with which he is credited as being one of the innovators1. His work in creating these large and impressive kumete whakairo predates all other known completely carved figure supported bowls produced by Ngati Tarawhai and Ngati Pikiao carvers2. These large and superbly carved pieces are a development of the traditional carved whakahuia and kumete and represent an important and creative response to the increased demand for Maori carvings from Europeans during the second half of the 19th century. Kumete whakairo of this size and scale were carved by Tamatea as presentation pieces or were commissioned by important wealthy patrons. As noted, this is one of three that are known. One of the other kumete is held in the collection of the Auckland War Memorial Museum. That example was commissioned by Sir George Grey during his tenure as Governor of New Zealand. It was not completed until after Grey left New Zealand. It eventually passed into the hands of Captain Gilbert Mair and was deposited in the Auckland Museum as part of the Gilbert Mair collection. During his visit to Auckland in 1895, the artist Paul Gauguin visited the Auckland Museum. The kumete made a lasting impression on Gauguin. He made sketches of it and then subsequently incorporated depictions of it into two of his paintings, Te Rerioa (1897) and Still Life with Mangoes (1901). The other kumete from this historically important group is held in The Collection of Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa. It was presented to Tamihana Te Rauparaha, son of the famous Ngati Toa warrior chief Te Rauparaha who today is remembered for popularising the haka3. Like the piece offered here for sale and the kumete whakairo held in the Auckland museum collection, the style of carving is distinctively the work of Patoromu Tamatea. It features robustly carved crouching figures, fine and superbly carved rauponga (carving pattern of alternating ridges and grooves) and relief carved figures on the lid. The rauponga detailing on these kumete is particularly interesting as it tightly carved and formally rendered. Also incorporated in the rauponga is a design feature of continuous sinuous shaped linking haehae grooves. This is unique to the work of Tamatea4. With these pieces Tamatea is experimenting with and adapting both traditional forms and styles of traditional carving. As with the kumete in the collection of The Museum of New Zealand, the piece in this catalogue was carved for presentation, specifically for presentation to Robert Graham5. Robert Graham arrived in New Zealand from Scotland at the age of 22. In his political career he was a member of both the House of Representatives and the Auckland Council and Superintendent of Auckland. Graham was sympathetic to Maori causes and was aware of the impact of colonisation on the Maori people 6. He also spoke fluent Maori and was a friend of the Te Arawa Maori and referred to as Ropata Karema. In June 1878, a land dispute had arisen in Maketu in the Bay of Plenty between two chiefs, Te PokihaTaranui of Ngati Pikiao and Petera Te Pukuatua of Ngati Whakaue. The dispute was serious and there was a strong possibility of it erupting into warfare. To avert this, Robert Graham was asked to intervene. He travelled on horseback for three days from Auckland to Pukemarie Pa at Maketu and persuaded the chiefs to postpone their fighting until he was able to negotiate with the government on their behalf. This he was able to successfully do. Subsequently, the Minister for Native Affairs met with the chiefs and was

able to resolve their land issues. In December, the chiefs of the Te Arawa region gifted 1500 acres of land to Graham in appreciation for his intervention and assistance in averting war. This gift of land was later disallowed by the government. Along with the land gift a presentation of taonga was also made to Robert Graham and his family. It included ‘two beautifully carved paddles and two handsome Maori carvings’7. This kumete was one of those carvings along with a carved chalice by Anaha Te Rahui which the Graham family referred to as the ‘Peace Chalice’ or ‘Peace bowl’ in reference to the peace deal that was brokered by Robert Graham. The peace chalice is now held in the collection of Te Papa Tongarewa. The two pieces were photographed together by Josiah Martin around 1890. That photograph is held in the Auckland Museum collection and has been reproduced in this catalogue. This kumete was also drawn in pencil by Richard Reverend Lashley, sometime after the presentation to Robert Graham in 1878. That sketch is now held in the collection of the British Museum, along with Richard Reverend Lashley’s notes and writing on Maori art. It is interesting to note that the presentation to Robert Graham included these two carvings from two different carvers from two different iwi within the Te Arawa region. The peace chalice carved by Anaha Te Rahui from Ngati Tarawhai and the kumete whakairo by Patoromu Tamatea from Ngati Pikiao. Roger Neich has written about the important connections between the carvers of these iwi8. The fact that two different carvers from two different iwi were chosen to carve pieces for this historically significant presentation to Robert Graham speaks to the importance of these connections. At some unknown point in time the kumete, the peace chalice and the two paddles were separated and the only piece that was retained by the Graham family was this kumete. It was eventually offered for sale in 2009 after being held in the Graham family collection for over one hundred and thirty years. This kumete whakairo and the two similar carved examples held in the Auckland War Memorial Museum and Te Papa Tongarewa collection are among the most important and historically significant pieces that were carved in the Te Arawa region in the later part of the 19th century. They are all associated with important historical events or people. These kumete are among the first carved Maori figure supported bowls of this scale that were made and, in this regard, Patoromu was an innovator, responding to the increased European demand for carved Maori art by adapting traditional forms, particularly the whakahuia form. The carving on these pieces is also innovative and adaptive, particularly the rauponga designs which cover the surface of these pieces. The rauponga detail on this kumete is beautifully rendered and formalised and incorporates Tamatea’s unique continuous sinuous shaped grooves. It brings to mind the much later work of artists such as Gordon Walters with his use and interpretation of rauponga in his paintings9. In this regard this kumete can be seen as part of the narrative between traditional carved Maori art and later 20th century Maori design inspired modernism.

Provenance: This important poupou is one of the eight panels carved by Tene Waitere for the geyser observation rotunda at Whakarewarewa. It was carved in 1903 and remained in situ until the fibre roof of the structure caught fire. The rotunda was then dismantled, and the eight ancestral panels were offered for sale. This poupou along with three other poupou from the rotunda were purchased by Reginald Smith. In 1931 Reginald Smith purchased the land at Te Wairoa and working with local iwi, began excavations on the site, soon after opening the Buried Village. This piece remained on display at the Buried Village throughout its history until it was sold by the Smith family in 2012. Three of the poupou remain in the Buried Village Collection and another two of the carved boards from the rotunda are held in the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa collection.

One of the most striking of all the artworks in the National Collection housed at Te Papa Tongarewa is by the Ngāti Tarawhai carver artist Tene Waitere (1853 – 1931). Commissioned by Augustus Hamilton (director Colonial, later Dominion Museum, 1903-13) in the late 1890s the Tā Moko panel is amongst the most radical of the cross-cultural whakairo/carving that emerged after the 1860s in Aotearoa. This corpus of carving, much of it created by a group of Ngāti Tarawhai and related carvers - Wero Tāroi, Anaha Te Rahui and Neke Kapua being other notable figures - can be described as radical on two counts. First, that many of these smaller, portable items were created outside the traditional iwi based commissioning structure – in other words such carving was not created to be housed within an ancestral house or whare tupuna, and second, many of these carved bowls, fireplace surrounds and sculptural figures afforded the carvers some freedom of expression and latitude to engage with imagery that reflects the changing reality of Aotearoa from the 1860s. In simple terms, these carvers, of which Tene was amongst the most prolific, began to experiment with sculptural forms and modes of depiction that were European in origin. Within carved meeting houses such as Rangitihi (late 1860s), Te Tiki a Tamamutu (late 1870s) and Houmaitawhiti (1875) we see figures sporting boots or top hats. We encounter free standing carved ‘statues’ such as the striking Umukaria by Wero Tāroi (1880) that stood at the village of Te Wairoa prior to the eruption of Mount Tarawera in 1886. The driver of much of this cross-cultural exchange was the burgeoning tourism industry in and around Rotorua, with the key attraction prior to their destruction being the famed Pink and White Terraces. The combination of significant carved house building by iwi in the Rotorua, Tarawera and Rotoiti areas and the new European patrons building hotels and other tourism attractions provided ample scope for Ngāti Tarawhai, Ngāti Whakaue and Ngāti Pikiao carvers to demonstrate their myriad skills across all forms of whakairo. New and interesting forms, some hybrid in nature, emerged in response to this developing market. Carvers such as Waitere were adept at moving between traditional Māori commissions and the more commercial aspects of the tourism markets. It has been said that some of the finest carving of this period was for the tourism marketplace. The smaller scale of the chalices, kumete, figural bowls or presentation items enabled the carvers to ‘go to town’ without the more pressing demands of larger scale building projects associated with whare tūpuna. The Tā Moko panel is a case in point. It is in such work that we can see Waitere at his most experimental in form and precise in his carving. Similarly, the eight hybrid poupou figures that adorned the striking observation rotunda at Whakarewarewa in Rotorua (1903) occupy this fertile cross-cultural space, within which Tene incorporated traditional carved forms such as wheku heads with more naturalistic or ‘European’ modes of presentation. There are two similar figures in the Te Papa collection, one of which clearly depicts a female figure with naturalistic breasts. The Te Papa male figure grasps a mere in a similarly realistic manner. At over 2.5 metres these ‘poupou’ figures perform a very different role to those located within a whare tupuna. These figures and the subsequent waharoa for the Whakarewarewa model Pā stood on Māori whenua but were designed for a cross-cultural audience, both Māori and Pākehā. The alacrity with which Tene combines these conceptual drivers and the seamless manner in which the demarcation lines are blurred make Waitere one of the more significant operators in this contested or shared space. These examples emerged some sixty years before Theo Schoon and Gordon Walters initial efforts to synthesis indigenous forms such as kowhaiwhai and the koru with Modernist and Bauhaus design principles.

It can also be argued that these carver artists were more integrated within the arts discourse over one hundred years ago than they are today. A case in point is the current exhibition Ngā Tai whakarongorua - Encounters in Toi Art currently on display at Te Papa. There on the central wall within a frieze of colonial era highlights by Goldie and Lindauer is located a carved mirror frame by Tene Waitere, not dissimilar to the example in this catalogue. Consisting of a re-imagining of the entrance carving of a whare whakairo, being the whakawae and pare forms, such carved mirrors enabled, at a smaller and portable scale, the viewer to engage at close proximity with the skill and idiomatic structures of master carving. In the Te Papa exhibition, notwithstanding the wealth of portraits of Māori subjects, the Tene Waitere carved mirror is the only example of an autograph work by a Māori artist. Tene Waitere’s career spanned almost sixty years, from his early collaborative works with his master Wero Tāroi such as Te Tiki a Tamamutu and Hinemihi o te Ao Tawhito around 1880 to later showpiece whare whakairo such as Rauru ( 1897, in the collection of the Hamburgisches Museum für Völkerkunde, Hamburg) and later houses such as Hinemihi carved for his granddaughter guide Rangi in 1927. Waitere also carved numerous carved pieces for European patrons, for hotels, private collectors and Museum commissioners such as Hamilton. In some of these pieces such as those naturalistic figures within Rauru or the poupou figures carved for the observation rotunda at whakarewarewa, we can see Waitere exploring Māori subject matter with a European influence. This writer has been told that Tene would have seen early illustrations of European masters, most likely via figures like Hamilton or early hoteliers including Charles Nelson proprietor of the Geyser Hotel in Rotorua. The enigmatic smile and posture of Leonardo’s Mona Lisa is one example that is said to have caught his attention. Recent curatorial presentations within our public museums are beginning to re-evaluate these early iterations of cross-cultural image making by carvers artists including Tene, Wero and Anaha Te Rahui. The examples illustrated on these pages provide telling evidence of the invention of the Ngāti Tarawhai carving tradition and Tene’s fertile practice in the service of his artistic whakapapa as well as how elegantly he depicted the reality of his changing world in these precious taonga.

The papahou or wakahuia was a treasure box of a Maori chief or family group. It was designed to be used as a sacred container for small treasured items of adornment which are the mark of chiefly status or high rank. Whale bone and wooden heru (combs) worn as head ornaments by chiefs, feathers such as the white tipped tail fathers of the huia and the long tail feathers of the red-tailed tropicbird, hei-tiki, pekapeka, kapeu (ear pendants) and other pounamu items were all retained in papahou and whakahuia. Papahou, as distinct from wakahuia, are usually flat and regular in form rather than oval. Papahou typically come from the Taranaki, North Auckland and the Northland regions of the North Island and are typically stone tool carved. These carved boxes did not make the transition to the age of steel tool carving1. As Roger Neich has noted, the style of this type of box probably declined due to early epidemics which impacted on the carvers from the northern regions and to the impact of the destructive musket raids of the 1820s2. Additionally, the carved underside decoration which features so prominently on these boxes was not well suited to display after the adoption of flat tables and

other items of English furniture3. The wakahuia was more easily adapted and came to feature flat bottoms with figural supports and so this form developed throughout the later part of the 19th century. Papahou were typically suspended on flax cords from the rafters of a whare tipuna (ancestral house) to keep their sacred contents safe. As these boxes were suspended, the most significant carving features on the underside, as is the case with this piece. They also typically feature pierced projecting heads which enable the box to be suspended. On this piece the main body of the two female figures features significantly on the underside of the box and their heads, carved in wheku form, protrude from each end.
