Art+Object is pleased to offer this multi-part catalogue of New Collectors Art and Modern Design including the John Gow Collection of Historical Photography and the Tātarāmoa Collection.

John Gow has managed the careers of many of our most significant contemporary artists, including Max Gimblett, John Pule, Judy Millar, Shane Cotton and many more. Outside of the galley and in the private space of his central Auckland home he is a passionate collector of Māori antiques and historical New Zealand photographs, especially those which relate to Rotorua and the geothermal region. We are delighted to be bringing his collection of historical and modern photographs to the market in this catalogue.

The Tātarāmoa (bush lawyer) collection features works compiled by a passionate Auckland collector with a distinct focus on local artists. It includes works by Peter Siddell, Pat Hanly, Louise Henderson, Claudia Pond Eyley, Kylie Sanderson, Stanley Palmer and many more.

Further collections of note include pottery from the collection of Len Castle’s family and Andrew and Jeannie van der Putten, whilst the Twentieth Century Design component includes a collection of original design classics including pieces by Mies van der Rohe, Charles and Ray Eames and Arne Jaceobsen, made under license.

We look forward to seeing you virtually and in the rooms.

3 Abbey Street, Newton
Viewing from Thursday 16 June until the auction day: 9.00am - 5.00pm on weekdays and 11.00am - 4.00pm during the weekend.
