About the Gallery
In 1957, Peter Webb launched his first dealer gallery, where he hosted a group show featuring Colin McCahon, Rita Angus, and Toss Woollaston; names we now recognise as some of the most renowned in the Aotearoa art world.
Later that year, Webb gave Colin McCahon his first solo show, a move that marked an important milestone in New Zealand's art history. Peter Webb's commitment to working directly with artists continues to this day in our Webb’s Wellington Gallery. With regularly updated exhibitions we showcase the best of New Zealand art, carrying on the legacy and passion of his vision.
Complementary to the auction previews, Webb's Wellington Gallery offers an exciting calendar of selling exhibitions. These exhibitions allow customers to purchase the works on display immediately, making them a perfect opportunity for art enthusiasts to invest in unique pieces created by established and emerging artists.
The exhibitions program is led by Virginia Woods-Jack with the support of Senior Arts Specialist Mark Hutchins-Pond, both of whom possess a wealth of expertise and a deep appreciation for the arts. The passion and proficiency of our small but dedicated team enable them to effectively curate and manage exhibitions, enhancing the gallery's offerings and enriching the experiences of our visitors.
