He moved to Auckland in the 1870's where he met businessman Henry Partridge who, over 30 years, commissioned from Lindauer numerous portraits of eminent Maori, as well as large-scale depictions of traditional Maori life and customs. Many prominent Maori chiefs commissioned his work, which accurately records their facial tattoos, clothing, ornaments and weapons. His life-size portraits were exhibited by Sir Walter Buller at the Colonial and Indian Exhibition, 1886, and in 1901 Partridge, Lindauer's earliest and most important patron, opened a gallery in Auckland which featured 40 of Lindauer's Maori portraits. By the time Partridge sold his Lindauer collection to the Auckland Art Gallery in 1915, there were 62 portraits. The historian James Cowan (1870-1943), who wrote the descriptive catalogue of the exhbition, described the collection as 'Unrivalled in the world' and a record of the 'old order' which in his opinion 'passed away forever' with King Tawhiao's death in 1894.
