'A Micronaut in the Wide World: The Imaginative Life and Times of Graham Percy' rediscovers the life and work of one of New Zealand's most talented and original artists. Percy left this country in the mid-1960s and became a hugely respected artist/illustrator/typographer overseas, while at the same time producing a remarkable body of his own independent art.

This exhibition, and the major publication that accompanies it, celebrates Percy's achievement as a published illustrator as well as bringing to light a significant body of work never seen before.

His works are held in the collection of the National Galleries of Scotland, yet - since his early years in Auckland - they have never been exhibited publicly in New Zealand.

Exhibition curated and developed by Gregory O’Brien in partnership with Exhibition Services Tours, in association with City Gallery Wellington, and Gus Fisher Gallery. All artworks courtesy of the Graham Percy Family Trust.
