PLEASE NOTE: The buyer’s premium for this auction is 19% of the hammer price plus GST on the buyer’s premium (total of 21.85% of the hammer price). This is to be paid on top of any successful bid. The buyer must pay the full amount due not later than 5 days after the auction date.

The absence of a condition report does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition (some items may be described with A/F, which means “all faults”). The estimates always reflect the condition of a lot. All property is sold “as is” without warranty of any kind by art+object. Bidders who are unable to inspect the items in person are welcome to request additional information at: info@artandobject.co.nz or 093544646.

Packing and courier options are available at buyer’s risk and expense. We’ll be in touch after the auction to arrange.

The link to our full Terms and Conditions can be found on the app menu or at the bottom of each page on the desktop website. We would recommend that first time and/or overseas bidders familiarise themselves with our Conditions, especially with our SUBJECT BIDS practice (point no. 11, which stands also for timed-online auctions).

Lois Going bought her first painting in 1972, a Peter McIntyre from Barry Lett Galleries. She attended her first art auction at Webb’s in 1976, at the White Heron Lodge in Parnell. Over the following decades she would regularly make the three-hour journey from her home in Tutukaka to Auckland, attending exhibition openings, auctions and art fairs and forming lifelong relationships with artists, dealers and auctioneers and all the while quietly assembling a private art collection of national significance. Lois herself began painting in the 1970s and she continues to work and exhibit today.

Art+Object is delighted to be presenting her lifetime art collection.
