They say nothing has changed in the industry since their sons died. Whanau support person Candice Gate says the industry has forestry workers by the scruff of the neck. “Workers are gone from dark until dark, working in the steepest conditions, breaking their bodies, and still not making ends meet.

PARIS — A rare carved Maori statue of a tattooed woman, which has passed through the hands of a British colonialist, a famous New York ad man, an alleged smuggler of New Zealand taonga, and renowned art collectors, has fetched a world record $3.7 million at auction. The freestanding wooden figure is just 37cm high but had serious collectors clamouring for bids at Christie’s Paris auction house last week. It surfaced in the glitzy auction catalogue with a EUR400,000- EUR600,000 ($680,000-$1m) estimate, and auctioneers highlighting its unique female features and seemingly crouching stance evoking a “dance movement frozen in endless time”. The Weekend Herald can reveal that the sale to “an international buyer” breaks the record for the highest price paid for a Maori work of art, surpassing that paid for a similar pou whakairo statue at GLITZY AUCTION: University of Auckland Associate Professor Ngarino Ellis, who Sotheby’s in 2014 for $2.28m. specialises in Maori art history, fears that similar taonga will never be seen again in Maori art historian Ngarino Ellis, New Zealand.
