Organized by Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art, Susan Te Kahurangi King: 1958-2018 presents a survey of the New Zealand-based artist’s work. This major exhibition brings together more than 60 of her drawings, along with memorabilia from the personal archive of her sister, Petita Cole. The exhibition includes drawings that span her output from her early colorful mashups of Donald Duck and cartoon imagery to her detailed graphite abstractions to her most recent gouache brush work created during a summer residency at the Elaine de Kooning House in East Hampton, New York. The exhibition is the first major presentation of King’s work at Intuit and the first museum exhibition to include personal objects collected by her family.
