Building a comprehensive catalogue of McCahon’s works

Not all of McCahon’s works are catalogued. When previously unidentified works appear at auction, or are brought to the attention of the Trust, each new notification will be researched and, once authenticated, added to the digital archive to create a more comprehensive understanding of Colin McCahon’s body of work. Potential inclusions for the database can be assessed by completing this notification of new works form.
