Sumer is pleased to present Arch, an exhibition of new work by Vienna-based artist Martyn Reynolds (NZ/AT). Following on from Sumer's popular single artist presentation of Reynolds' work at Aotearoa Art Fair 2024, this exhibition is the artist's first solo exhibition at the main gallery.

For May, Sumer will be presenting a group presentation, featuring new and historical works by Ella Sutherland, Zina Swanson and the Estate of Tom Kreisler.
