Wellington Prints from Liz Kerr and Ernest Papps
There are more Wellington prints than prints of any other city in New Zealand, and our collection of pictures of Wellington is the largest range in the country. It takes up quite a lot of space in our warehouse! However there was a noticeable gap for contemporary views of the city - the venerable and popular print "Summertime Wellington" by Marianne Muggeridge is now nearly twenty years old. Anyone who lives or visits Wellington on a regular basis will have noticed some changes over this time! Wellingtonians love sending prints of their city to friends and family as gifts - perhaps because it looks so beautiful if you can't actually feel the wind that is probably blowing.
With this in mind we are delighted to have new modern prints of Wellington by artists like Ernest Papps and Liz Kerr in stock today.
Pictured here is Kerr's print of Wellington Harbour and Oriental Bay in summer.

Bill MacCormick's new giclee print series released today
Popular New Zealand painter Bill MacCormick has been publishing prints of his paintings for over twenty years. Bill's prints are enormously popular - we noticed during TV interviews that one of his prints even decorates the living room of (now ex Prime Minister) Helen Clark's Auckland residence! Bill has just released his first series of large limited edition giclee prints of four of his favourite paintings that have never been available before as prints. The print shown is a view of Berhampore Dairy in Wellington - a recurring theme in Bill's artwork is the emotional power of buildings in the New Zealand landscape that tell of those who have gone before us.
MacCormick's new giclee prints use the latest pigmented inks which offer incredible light fastness: 75 years for unframed prints; and 200 years for prints framed behind UV filtering glass. The images are printed onto beautiful paper made from clear spring water and top quality cotton fibre. It is manufactured to be extremely age resistant which means it is categorised as being suitable for lasting more than 100 years (this is the highest life expectancy category of any paper).
