Exhibitions

Millar has had numerous solo and group exhibitions in both New Zealand and Europe and found critical acclaim in the international press.

Selected Solo Exhibitions

Her painterly style was described as "energetic and overwhelming",[5] and Andrea Hilgenstock calls her paintings "spectacular".[6] Further references can be found in recent publications on New Zealand art. [7][8][9] [10]

Her works can be found in the collections of the Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, Dunedin Public Art Gallery the Auckland Art Gallery, the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Christchurch Art Gallery, and numerous private collections throughout Europe.

She represented New Zealand at the 53rd Venice Biennial in 2009.[11] This project is recreated in miniature in the 2014 pop-up book Swell, created in collaboration with paper engineer Phillip Fickling and writer Trish Gribben - this book in turn inspired full-scale pop-up style works for her solo exhibition The Model World and large sculptures for SCAPE and the Auckland Art Gallery.[12][13]

In 2011 she was again part of the Venice Biennale in the collateral event Personal Structures in Palazzo Bembo.[14]

Current

Millar is represented by Gow Langsford Gallery in Auckland, Gallery Mark Müller in Zurich, Hamish Morrison Gallery in Berlin, and Sullivan Strumpf, Sydney.
