Helen Beaglehole is a Wellington writer, editor, and historian whose family has been collecting contemporary New Zealand art for over two generations.
Nine to Noon spoke to her last year when she published her book One Hundred Havens: A History of the Marlborough Sounds.
Helen has now opened her red front door for her latest book: Light and Reflections, published alongside photographer Matthew O'Reilly, to share her life of collecting work from the now-prominent names, who were then up-and-comers.
