Mary-Louise Browne

Mary-Louise Browne (born 1957) is a New Zealand artist. Her works are held in the permanent collections of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki and the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery.[1][2][3]

Education

Browne graduated from Elam School of Fine Arts in 1982 with an MFA.[3][4]

Career

Browne has exhibited widely in New Zealand and internationally, and is known for her public commissions including the award-winning Byword, a series of nine stone benches running the length of Lorne Street in Auckland.[5] Browne has had a text-based conceptual practice and uses text in lieu of imagery to convey social and political commentaries.[6]

Browne was the first director of Auckland artist-run gallery space Artspace, opened in reaction to the direction Auckland Art Gallery was taking with its move towards high-end imported historical shows of artists like Claude Monet. Browne was succeeded as director by Priscilla Pitts, an art historian.[7]
