This collection showcases a selection of 22 paintings from Avenal McKinnon's collection by a range of artists including Rudi Gopas, Rita Angus, Frances Hodgkins, Leo Bensemann, Wayne Youle and Séraphine Pick.

The portraits are drawn from the collection of the late Avenal McKinnon (nee Gough), the long-time Director of the New Zealand Portrait Gallery Te Pūkenga Whakaata, art historian, writer, and curator.
The exhibition is curated by Helen Kedgley, with special thanks to the McKinnon family.
