Heading the art department at the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Los Angeles, Sister Corita harnessed the energy of her students to help her produce some of the most energetic and inventive print work of the day. Using silk screen technique, the work is always colourful, always touching and more often than not, humourous. This exhibition is supported by a selection of works from the Govett-Brewster Collection by Colin McCahon, plus loans from the Auckland Art Gallery Collection of Ed Ruscha and Marco Fusinato. We also present a small exhibition of graphic works by the Wellington Media Collective.
