We are saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Gary Tricker (1938–2021), one of Aotearoa’s most gifted intaglio printmakers. With a deep imagination and a love of the whimsical, Tricker’s dreamlike observations of cats, trains, landscapes, and people brighten the real world with brilliant surrealism. Waikato Museum Te Whare Taonga o Waikato is privileged to care for Tricker’s life’s work – more than 500 prints – on behalf of the Waikato Bequests Trust.

It is with great sadness that we share the sudden passing of the internationally celebrated Greytown Printmaker Gary Tricker at the age of 82. His father was a railway man and Gary lived in railway houses growing up. Cats and trains prominently featured in his prints and etchings. He lived in the world of the imagination and dreams a lot of the time. Gary adored his two Burmese Mandalay cats Tahi and Toko. He was a kind and caring man and a real character. Gary had left his life’s work-almost 500 artworks-to the Waikato Bequests Trust for display in the Waikato Museum. Such a generous gift from this master printer. It was a privelege and a joy to represent him and share his wonderful works of art. He will be greatly missed but his work will live on for generations to come. The Final Whistle has blown and the train has pulled out of the station. Rest in Peace Gary Tricker.
