A search to find unknown Frances Hodgkins works hanging in private collections in Otago homes has resulted in some surprising finds. It also acknowledges the tentative beginnings of the gallery's own Hodgkins' collection 113 years ago, and its subsequent development. It was not listed in the catalogue of Hodgkins' work being put together by Auckland Art Gallery of all known art works of the internationally-acclaimed artist. The works also run the gamut from her early Dunedin works to her more modern works. All of the owners to came forward with works had allowed the gallery and Auckland Art Gallery to build a better picture of Hodgkins' works.
