At the outset we had confidence in the strength and quality of contemporary New Zealand art, as well as our vision for it in a secondary market context. Nonetheless we could not have envisaged the success of our launch auction, or its effect on the wider market. Our inaugural auction in this sector achieved a quite incredible 82% sale rate by value and by volume. Record auction prices were achieved for no fewer than 18 artists. While the figures are impressive, ART+OBJECT’s commitment to contemporary art is not simply about the functioning of the marketplace, it comes from a deep engagement with the art of our time, its practitioners and the wider art environment we participate in. That is why so much care is taken with the catalogue and the pre-auction exhibition of the artworks to be offered for sale. Our plan was always to present two specialist Contemporary Art catalogues per year and the positive feedback we have received from artists, gallerists and collectors reinforces our commitment to continue offering contemporary art at auction.

  • Where Is the Queer?
    Where is the Queer? A case study of LGBTQ representation in Aotearoa New Zealand exhibitions by Peter Derksen A dissertation submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Museum and Heritage Studies. Victoria University of Wellington 2018 Abstract Modern museums and galleries are cultural spaces that often participate in human rights advocacy and social activism. Exhibitions within these spaces are the physical manifestations of these ideologies, the way that institutions connect with their audiences and with the communities they purport to represent. ‘Where is the Queer?’ explores the ways that museums and galleries in Aotearoa represent queerness within their exhibitions, in various stages of the development process. This dissertation addresses a key gap in the literature by critically re-engaging with queerness, exploring the intersections between queer theory and museum theory in an area under-examined in New Zealand practice. This research was exploratory in nature, utilizing a credible multi-method case study approach to retrieve data from an ephemeral process, exhibition production. Archival documentary research provided the necessary background to the exhibitions’ development, as well as supporting evidence for various curatorial choices. Interviews with curators then established key areas of interest, including curatorial strategies, conceptual goals, tailored public programming, and their perspectives on issues with LGBTQ representation. The findings of this research show that exhibiting queerness is difficult terrain to negotiate, although museums and galleries generally aim to present and include a diversity of perspectives in a balanced way. However, the ways that queerness is represented also tend to rely on now outdated ideologies, such as an emphasis on gay men’s perspectives, reductive ‘coming-out’ narratives, and a neutral stance on the messages the exhibitions put forward.
