The Ministry has already approved one of his selections — “Muriwai Beach,” by Colin McCahon. Another McCahon painting of! the Titirangi Hills will go forward for approval. Works by Charles. Toll and Ralph Hotere will also be submitted. If the works are approved and bought by the Ministry,! they should be hanging in Mr; Harland’s office when he ar-j rives in early September. '
