The Friends are currently fundraising to conserve the following artworks, many of which also suffer from foxing or poor storage conditions:

Paintings:
John Douglas Perrett – Mount Cook from Lake Pukaki
Don Bruce – Four Peak
Randolph Holmes – K2 Karakoram
Randolph Holmes – Lonely Glory of Everest
Unknown Artist – Cattle
Walter Wright – Return of the Canoes

Works on Paper:
David Cox – Landscape
Ester Hope – Albi Cathedral
Hugh Nevill-Smith – Mount Cook
Walter Sydney Stacey – Sheep Shearing in a Barn

These restoration projects are a critical part of the gallery’s long-term collection care and have only been possible through the sustained generosity and advocacy of the Friends of the Aigantighe. Their work ensures that South Canterbury’s art heritage remains safe, visible, and accessible to the public.
