Coming Out of the Mist: protest, politics, and the provenance of the Urewera Triptych
by Amanda
In June 1997, one of New Zealand's most famous paintings disappeared in the middle of the night - but the real story of this crime began over a century before. The theft of Colin McCahon's Urewera Triptych wasn't simply an art crime—it was also a political statement about generations of loss and delayed justice. Nearly three decades later, the painting's extraordinary journey continues to challenge our nation's beliefs on the rights of mana whenua iwi, and the ownership of taonga.
