Barry Lett Galleries was a dealer gallery focused on contemporary New Zealand art that operated in Auckland in the 1960s and 1970s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://thecommunityarchive.org.nz/node/78567/description )〕 ==History== Barry Lett Galleries was opened in 1965 by Barry Lett (b. 1940), who had graduated from Elam School of Fine Arts the previous year, Rodney Kirk Smith (1938-1996), and Frank Lowe, who had run Ikon Gallery with fellow architecture student Don Wood from 1960 to 1964.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://thecommunityarchive.org.nz/node/78469/description )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://findnzartists.org.nz/artist/8851/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.aucklandartgallery.com/the-collection/browse-artists/2293/barry-lett )〕 In the early 1960s a new generation of dealer galleries (often short-lived) arose in Auckland, encouraging people to see and buy contemporary New Zealand art. Barry Lett Galleries filled a gap left in the Auckland cultural scene by the closure of Ikon Gallery (which had shown, among others, Colin McCahon, Don Binney and Pat Hanly), as did Kees and Tina Hoses’ New Vision Gallery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.artandobject.co.nz/AuctionResources/328/CAT_80_NC.pdf )〕 Barry Lett Galleries showed many of the leading painters of the 1960s and 1970s, including McCahon, Binney, Hanly, Milan Mrkusich, Gordon Walters, Ralph Hotere, Michael Smither, Michael Illingworth and Robert Ellis.〔 Unlike most commercial galleries, Barry Lett Gallery also showed the work of 'post-object' artist Jim Allen and his students at the Elam School of Fine Arts, such as Leon Narbey. In 1975 the gallery celebrated its tenth anniversary with a show of two works each by 14 of its core artists, including McCahon, Binney, Hotere, Mrkusich, Illingworth and Teuane Tibbo. Frank Lowe sold his interest to Kim Wright in 1966, and in 1975 Barry Lett left the gallery to paint full-time, leaving Rodney Kirk-Smith. In 1976 the gallery became known as RKS Art.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barry Lett Galleries」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
