The Introduction of Walters prize
50,000 biennial Walters Prize is awarded for an outstanding work of contemporary New Zealand art produced and exhibited during the past two years. The winner also receives a trip to New York and the opportunity to exhibit their work at Saatchi & Saatchi’s world headquarters.
Named in honor of the late New Zealand painter Gordon Walters, a pioneering modernist artist, the Walters Prize was established in 2002 by founding benefactor and principal donors Erika and Robin Congreve and Dame Jenny Gibbs, working together with Auckland Art Gallery.
Major donor Dayle Mace celebrates the nominations by awarding each finalist $5000.
