Literature
Peter Peryer began photographing in 1973 at the age of thirty-two after initially pursuing a teaching career. His career which spanned over forty years was rich and varied, his photography practice taking him around New Zealand, Europe, USA and the sub Antarctic.
His work played a key role in the recognition of the medium in the New Zealand art world and particularly in the New Zealand art market. Peryer seldom worked in series, preferring to make unique images of specific subjects—his definitive image of this or that.
His works are widely collected and are held in all major New Zealand institutions, and internationally, including the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris and the Australian National Gallery in Canberra. Peryer is a New Zealand Arts Foundation Laureate.
