J Barry Ferguson Fund to the Rescue For reasons too tedious to reiterate here, the 2021 Mahurangi Regatta needed to be rescued when sharply increased costs clashed with less than anticipated funding. Fortunately, the Mahurangi has superb friends, with one underwriting the shortfall and another donating the balance of his lifetime’s botanical art collection to the cause. The exhibition and silent auction will also include the gems of a magnificent collection botanical books, and Mr Ferguson’s luscious memoir Flowers are My Passport, signed on the evening by the author.
Saturday, the exhibition and silent auction will continue for those unable to attend the glitzy evening, with coffee and croissants—rather than sparkling wine and hors d’oeuvres—from 9 am to 4 pm.
Parisian Studio Scene: Born in Bodoe, Norway, 1900, Gunvor Bull-Teilman was a painter, printmaker, sculptor, and book illustrator. Know for her modern landscapes and portraits, she studied at Académie Julian, and Academy de la Grand Chaumiére. J Barry Ferguson helped rescue this and other works from her burnt-out New York apartment, subsequently purchasing it from the artist.
