Both projects are the fulfilment of a decade's planning by the McCahon House Trust.The Titirangi years are rightly regarded as the watershed of Colin McCahon's career. This exhibition will feature important works from each of McCahon's major series in the period 1953-59, including Towards Auckland, Kauri, Manakau, French Bay, Titirangi and the Elias series.

The centrepiece of the exhibition will be The Wake (1958), McCahon's largest painting, a huge 16-panel work developed from poems by John Caselberg.

The exhibition opens Friday 25 August and runs until Sunday 8 October.
