Pace PM has backed the bull!

Adele Cuddie • June 1, 2015

New Zealand artist Michael Parekowhai's two bulls upon bronze pianos stood defiant amongst the devastation in Christchurch for 30 days and became an image of strength to the city.

In particular, Parekowhai’s 1.8-tonne standing bull sculpture named ‘Chapman’s Homer’ has become a much loved symbol of the perseverance and resilience shown by Christchurch after the earthquakes. For this reason Christchurch Art Gallery Trust wanted to bring back Chapmans Homer to stand strong outside the Art Gallery, and forever be a reminder of the underlying spirit of the city.

The trust met their requirement of $200,000 from their ‘Back the Bull campaign’ with Westpac and with the Christchurch Art Gallery Trust committed to matching the public donations. This has meant that Christchurch’s new resident bull is finally back for good and Pace was proud to be a part of donating to this cause.

While the forecourt of the Gallery is being completed, Chapman’s Homer will be displayed at several sites around the city before taking residence outside the Art Gallery later in the year.
