{Suite} is pleased to present, in conjunction with the Robin Morrison Estate, our first exhibition of works by renowned Aotearoa New Zealand photographer Robin Morrison (1944-1993).

Prior to his untimely death, Morrison had sorted a number of black and white prints into a folder he titled Decade of Days. This folder was the starting point for the development of an exhibition - A Decade of Days – Auckland Through Robin Morrison's Eyes - first shown at Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland Museum in 2013-2014. The exhibition focussed on Morrison’s urban photography of Auckland in the 1970s and 1980s, originally captured for the New Zealand Listener.

Now, drawing on the curatorial work undertaken by the Auckland Museum team for the 2013 show, this exhibition A Decade of Days Revisited – Robin Morrison has images selected by Morrison’s sons, Jake and Keir, and {Suite} Director David Alsop.

On show will be vintage silver gelatin prints hand made by the artist, together with modern editioned prints issued by the Robin Morrison Estate, and a life size mural viewable as you drive south on Ponsonby Road.

We would like to thank Shaun Higgins, Pictorial Curator at the Auckland Museum, for his assistance and knowledge of the Robin Morrison archive. Shaun will provide a rare insight into the early black-and-white photojournalism of Morrison at {Suite} at 945am on Friday 2 May.

A Decade of Days Revisited – Robin Morrison is open to the public from 10am on 28 April and runs until 24 May.
