Party In Piha Comes to Te Uru: The Photography of Arne Loot
This winter Te Uru presents Party in Piha by 97-year old Titirangi photographer Arne Loot. The exhibition documents the legendary full-moon beach parties that took place in the remote coastal settlement of Piha in the 1960s. It has been created from a series of original proof sheets that Loot used to make for young party-host, Brian Rainger.
Party in Piha celebrates a unique selection of photographs that connects us to the rich social history of west Auckland. And is a rare glimpse into a vast archive from Loot’s long career, much of which has never been seen and cannot be found online.” — Andrew Clifford, Director
Party in Piha has been developed by Sir Bob Harvey and Heath Wilkes from Phreon print studio. It is presented as part of the 2021 Auckland Festival of Photography.
