Thanks to New York philanthropists, Julian and Josie Robertson, the Auckland Art Gallery has attained "international-quality exhibition."
The Robertsons apparently donated between $120 million to $150 million in art according to the National Business Review of New Zealand. The collection consisted of artists such as Mondrian, Cezanne, Picasso, Matisse and Gauguin.
With "12 paintings and 3 works on paper, including portraits by Picasso from 1938 and 1951, a landscape by Gauguin from 1884 and an abstract geometric painting by Mondrian from around 1920," the gift is the largest collection given to any museum in the Australasian region.
