THE ENG LIS H CO LL E C T IO N O F 2 0 T H C E N T U R Y D E S I G N 0 1 M A R C H THE ENGLISH Welcome to ART+OBJECT’s first catalogue of 2012. 2011 proved to be a year of milestones for A+O with $20 million of art sales achieved since the COLLECTION company’s launch in May 2007 and the completion of over 1000 valuations in the same period. A+O also recorded three of the top four prices for OF 20TH CENTURY New Zealand art at auction in the year. 2011 saw A+O established as the leader for major private collections – collectors welcomed significant offerings including The Michael Seresin DESIGN Collection of 20th Century Photography, The Martin Hill Collection of International Ceramics, The Douglas Lloyd Jenkins Collection of Art and Design, The David and Angela Wright Collection of Modern and Contemporary New Zealand Art and The Ross Morrison Collection of THURSDAY 1 MARCH Modern Design. The feedback from clients, colleagues and collectors for these landmark AT 6.30PM auction events was most gratifying, particularly the appreciation for the style of catalogues and exhibitions A+O presented. 2012 sees us all similarly blessed with world class collections. This catalogue features a wonderful collection informed by the sensibility of Tim and Natasha English who have dedicated thirty years of their lives to hand-selecting unique examples of superior 20th century design furniture and lighting. It is a sad fact that the earthquakes of 2011 changed the English's lives ART+OBJECT forever and they have elected to take a new direction in the future. This catalogue serves as a record to their depth of appreciation for a genre 3 Abbey Street of material, that when presented in its authentic form strikes ever deeper Newton Auckland chords with like-minded collectors.
