The art collecting public of New Zealand and internationally responded with such enthusiasm that A+O is proud to have achieved over twenty artist records at auction for both Australian and New Zealand contemporary artists. Works have been acquired from A+O auctions by collectors not just in New Zealand, but also Australia, The United States, Hong Kong, England and Italy. In addition to pioneering the presentation of contemporary art, which we define as being art produced after 1990, ART+OBJECT also achieved repeated success offering major artworks at auction.

In particular we are proud to offer an excellent collection of New Zealand photography from a private collector together with many other interesting consignments. Since returning to the office in May we have completed two auctions that had been on hold since April. Both of these events were remarkably successful and we would like to warmly thank our vendors who remained patient during the lockdown and all those who supported us at the viewings and attended the auctions, whether on-line at home or in person. It is extremely heartening to see that even in the most tumultuous of times, there is still a desire for art in our lives. During the recent lockdown period, like many I agreed with the slogans that suggested we should send 2020 back to where it came from. If only we could rewind and start again! The effect on businesses and families, the many disappointments of cancelled events and travel, will be felt for some time to come.
