Philip Trusttum is without doubt one of New Zealand’s most important living artists. The Arts Trust has the most substantial holdings of Philip Trusttum’s works, numbering 222 works covering a span of over 50 years; resulting in an artist’s diary without comparison.

The Arts Trust is proud to host the first complete survey of his oeuvre and launch a book dedicated to his practice at The Pah Homestead. The opening event that was on Monday 17 October  featured a Q & A session with Philip Trusttum, hosted by Robin Woodward, an art historian from Auckland University, and the principal author of the book.
