Late last year we posted an article on Lost Property, a great online showcase of Auckland's modernist architecture and history - now The Depot will be host to Gregory Smith's 'Lost Property 2' during Auckland's Heritage Festival and Architecture Week.
Excavating deeper into Auckland’s social and architectural history, Lost Property 2 uncovers the works of modernist architects Franz Iske, Barton Gillespie, Noel Bierre and artist James Turkington. Their unknown or neglected works and histories are bought to light in a new exhibition during Auckland’s Heritage Festival and Architecture Week.
The modernist era was captured in its arts and architecture, sometimes uncompromising, challenging and provocative, and although many of these works have now disappeared to progress and the onslaught of style over substance, much can be gained by revisiting this galvanising era.
