The Walters Prize, named after modernist painter Gordon Walters, is awarded for exceptional work of contemporary New Zealand art created and exhibited in the past two years. This year marks the 10th iteration of the prestigious award.
The branding for the 10th iteration of the Walters Prize exhibition highlights this significant milestone, marking a decade of excellence in contemporary New Zealand art. The use of a gradient symbolises the ever-changing landscape of the arts and the evolution of the award, reflecting the fluidity and progression inherent in contemporary art. Additionally, a wave motif was incorporated to echo the recurring theme of water in this year's artworks, creating a cohesive connection between the exhibition's visual identity and the art it celebrates.
