The Adam Portraiture Award is New Zealand’s premier portrait prize and has been held every two years since its inaugural exhibition in 2002. Denis and Verna Adam, the long term patrons of the Award, established it in recognition that portraiture is not only an important art form, but provides a pictorial record for future generations.
The exhibition promotes the best of contemporary portrait painting from established and emerging artists throughout the country. The portraits are completed in a variety of different paint medium and range from the abstract interpretations to realist.
The winner of the Adam Portraiture Award for 2016 was Andre Brönnimann, Sisters (2015).
