The start of a new year is always a time of optimism and there is no shortage of that here at Art+Object. Our first New Collectors catalogue for 2019 is full of interesting and collectable artworks including a unique collection of contemporary photography with a fashion vibe, New Zealand studio pottery, a collection of rare French vintage posters and a collection of Ted Dutch screenprints, together with many other fine examples of sculpture, painting and print-making.

We are happy to offer two fine works by Emily Karaka that have been donated by the artist in support of St Joseph’s School Orakei, which could be a wonderful way to support your community.

With such a large catalogue filled with artworks to suit all tastes and budgets, it will be a pleasure to welcome you to the viewing, commencing Friday 22 February at 9.00am.

Art+Object’s November 2018 auction of Important Paintings & Contemporary Art was an outstanding success, realising a sale total AUCTION of over 3.4 million dollars. The sale featured three major paintings by Don Binney from the period of 1965–1970, all of which found appreciative new homes. Perhaps the most remarkable was lot 54, Pastoral, Te Henga HIGHLIGHTS which achieved a new auction record for the artist of $684 685.

However it was also a successful evening for contemporary art and artists, as shown on the present pages.

Taken together these results indicate the underlying strength and continued growth of the New Zealand art market across all tiers with renewed strengthening particularly evident at the top end where the best examples by our leading twentieth century artists continue to be increasingly sought-after.
