The generous support of the following companies is also gratefully acknowledged: We also wish to thank Peek Display Corporation and Empire Electrical Services for generously contributing display boards and lighting. 2 3 his auction, Portrait of a New Future Zealand, has been made possible by the generosity of T artists from the length and breadth of the country. Here we describe the works contributed by painters, potters, photographers, glassmakers, sculptors and printmakers who have a commitment to caring for this land. Many will be well known to you, while other works from South Island artists offer something different. I have heard the stories behind a number of these works, and why their creators have agreed to contribute. I would like to relate the story behind a work my family and I are also contributing for sale. It was recently painted by Ralph Hotere in memory of my husband, Sir Peter Elworthy who died in January. Peter and Ralph were both keen aviators and the call sign of Peter’s beloved Tiger Moth – ZK BLI – is boldly etched at the base of the work. The painting can also be seen as a form of flight – of the spirit. I look forward to seeing you there on November 11th.

  • Art's Histories in Aotearoa New Zealand Jonathan Mane Wheoki
    Art’s Histories in Aotearoa New Zealand Jonathan Mane Wheoki This is the text of an illustrated paper presented at ‘Art History's History in Australia and New Zealand’, a joint symposium organised by the Australian Institute of Art History in the University of Melbourne and the Australian and New Zealand Association of Art Historians (AAANZ), held on 28 – 29 August 2010. Responding to a set of questions framed around the ‘state of art history in New Zealand’, this paper reviews the ‘invention’ of a nationalist art history and argues that there can be no coherent, integrated history of art in New Zealand that does not encompass the timeframe of the cultural production of New Zealand’s indigenous Māori, or that of the Pacific nations for which the country is a regional hub, or the burgeoning cultural diversity of an emerging Asia-Pacific nation. On 10 July 2010 I participated in a panel discussion ‘on the state of New Zealand art history.’ This timely event had been initiated by Tina Barton, director of the Adam Art Gallery in the University of Victoria, Wellington, who chaired the discussion among the twelve invited panellists. The host university’s department of art history and art gallery and the University of Canterbury’s art history programme were represented, as were the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, the City Gallery, Wellington, the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, New Plymouth, the Dunedin Public Art Gallery and the University of Auckland’s National Institute of Creative Arts and Industries. The University of Auckland’s department of art history1 and the University of Otago’s art history programme were unrepresented, unfortunately, but it is likely that key scholars had been targeted and were unable to attend.

  • A Survey of Recent New Zealand Writing TREVOR REEVES
    A Survey of Recent New Zealand Writing TREVOR REEVES O achieve any depth or spread in an article attempt• ing to cover the whole gamut of New Zealand writing * must be deemed to be a New Zealand madman's dream, but I wonder if it would be so difficult for people overseas, particularly in other parts of the Commonwealth. It would appear to them, perhaps, that two or three rather good poets have emerged from these islands. So good, in fact, that their appearance in any anthology of Common• wealth poetry would make for a matter of rather pleasurable comment and would certainly not lower the general stand• ard of the book. I'll come back to these two or three poets presently, but let us first consider the question of New Zealand's prose writers. Ah yes, we have, or had, Kath• erine Mansfield, who died exactly fifty years ago. Her work is legendary — her Collected Stories (Constable) goes from reprint to reprint, and indeed, pirate printings are being shovelled off to the priting mills now that her fifty year copyright protection has run out. But Katherine Mansfield never was a "New Zealand writer" as such. She left early in the piece. But how did later writers fare, internationally speaking? It was Janet Frame who first wrote the long awaited "New Zealand Novel." Owls Do Cry was published in 1957. A rather cruel but incisive novel, about herself (everyone has one good novel in them), it centred on her own childhood experiences in Oamaru, a small town eighty miles north of Dunedin -— a town in which rough farmers drove sheep-shit-smelling American V-8 jalopies inexpertly down the main drag — where the local "bikies" as they are now called, grouped in vociferous RECENT NEW ZEALAND WRITING 17 bunches outside the corner milk bar.

  • Embodied Pedagogy: Examples of Moral Practice from Art Education
    EMBODIED PEDAGOGY: EXAMPLES OF MORAL PRACTICE FROM ART EDUCATION Ruth Boyask University of Canterbury, New Zealand Educators operate today in a climate that favours instrumental means to achieve economically rational ends. This emphasis conflicts with the moral purpose of education, which is concerned ostensibly with widening participation and increasing personal liberty. Framed by this potential conflict is an investigation into the activity of historical figures in New Zealand art education to reveal how their deliberate activities negotiated the dominant discourses of their times, and how they shifted cultural production and understandings towards divergent social ends. These historical cases provide insight into possibilities for contemporary educators. Teaching and learning occur both within and outside of educational institutions, policies and sectors. Whilst this premise may not appear particularly innovative or surprising, taken seriously it has the potential to destabilise existing orders of educational practice. It indicates that the creation of knowledge as it is experienced does not necessarily conform to generalised policies nor does it occur within the formal institutions and educational sectors that we have constructed for its legitimation and continuance. However, this premise conflicts with basic assumptions operating currently within the discipline of education, where educational knowledge is positioned in relation to specific and discrete epistemological constructions. This article is developed from a fundamentally phenomenological position, whereby social discourses are constructed through embodied interaction and dialogue, resulting in social practices such as pedagogy, which are ritualised and re-enacted throughout our institutions. The discussion claims that pedagogies have moral implications in that they expand or inhibit social participation and personal liberty, and therefore they encourage educators, when determining a course of action, to deliberate on how their practices intersect with educational structures.

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.

    ART + OBJECT 2017 has undoubtedly been a dynamic year at Art+Object, as well as for the wider New Zealand art world. We are fortunate to be part of a healthy, thriving arts community that really does offer something for everyone, across a variety of art forms. This year, along with our usual catalogues of Important Paintings and Contemporary Art, New Collectors, Decorative Arts and Rare Books, we have been favoured with the sale of some fabulous private collections. Visionary collectors like Anne Coney and Glenn Schaeffer, in taking the brave decision to sell their collections at auction, provide viewers with a wonderful opportunity to admire and acquire. Thank you to everyone who has taken part in our auction program this year, we put real effort into making our auction videos, organising talks and events and we love it when you watch on-line, or come along to viewings and auctions. Our talk with collector Glenn Schaeffer in October was given to a packed house, with a large number of interested collectors attending to hear from Mr Schaeffer, a significant international art collector. The year cannot pass without making mention of the wonderful success of the Estate of Michael Illingworth auction. The enthusiasm shown by the market for work by this legendary artist was unprecedented, resulting in one of the most successful auctions in our ten year history. We have enjoyed working with a number of brand partners this year. We’ve been serving freshly brewed Allpress coffee at our weekend viewings, which was particularly well-received on cold wintry viewing days, and it certainly feels like we’ve had plenty of those this year.
