Art+Object is delighted to present the two-volume catalogue for the landmark sale of the collection of Peter Tatham and Adrian Burr. The auction will take place across two days, the dates for which have been revised due to Covid-19 restrictions, to November 13th and November 14th.
Please note that the buyer's premium for this auction is 18% of the hammer price plus GST on the buyer's premium (total of 20.7%).
Renowned as one of this country’s greatest art collectors and philanthropists, Adrian Burr, together with his partner Peter Tatham, assembled a collection that encompassed the finest quality New Zealand and international art from the 20th and 21st centuries. Adrian and Peter were founding benefactors of the ASB Waterfront Theatre, and their support of The Arts Foundation is recognised with a Laureate Award in their names. They were long-term Patrons of Auckland Art Gallery and members of the Chairman’s Council group of Major Foundation Donors that helped fund the gallery re-build which opened in 2009. Their generosity extended beyond the arts to encompass support for environmental issues, sport and mental health.
Intensely private yet fiercely passionate, their collection has been seen by very few and consists of many of the finest examples held outside of museums, by many of our most distinguished artists, including: Frances Hodgkins, Bill Hammond, Colin McCahon, Paul Dibble, Séraphine Pick, Shane Cotton, Ans Westra, Michael Parekōwhai, Chris Charteris, Russell Clark, Callum Innes, Dick Frizzell, Max Gimblett, Ngaio Marsh and many, many more.
