Abstract

Sir John Ilott began collecting prints in the 1920s. In 1952 he presented the collection to the National Art Gallery of New Zealand and thereafter made annual additions until his death.

The Ilott Collection contains 713 works drawn from masters in Europe, America and Australia. In range they cover a period of time from the 14th century to the present day. Included in the collection are works by such artists as Durer, Goya, Rembrandt and Whistler; examples of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists and a fairly comprehensive range of English prints from those of Hogarth to the present day works.

The selection of one work each from one hundred master artists is made to present to the viewer the range and scope of the collection.
