OVERCROWDED PICTURES
TROUBLES OF AUCKLAND ART GALLERY VISITOR SUGGESTS REMEDY Pending the establishment of a new art gallery for Auckland, the serious overcrowding of pictures in the existing building might be overcome by depositing some of the works on loan with the various public institutions throughout the province that possessed suitable hanging space. This suggestion was made yesterday by Dr A. S. Joske, a trustee of the Melbourne Public Library and Art Gallery. Dr Joske said that the Melbourne Gallery had adopted this plan some years ago. The pictures were very much appreciated and well looked after by the institutions and schools to which they were lent. The Auckland. Art Gallery contains* some excellent works, in the opinion of Dr. Joske, but overcrowding is so serious that the pictures cannot be appreciated.
