_______________________________
Art+Object is thrilled to present the catalogue for the second Important Paintings and Contemporary Art auction of 2023, including two impressive collections: The Fairfield Trust Collection and The Chris Booth Collection. The catalogue also features Bill Hammond's 1997 masterpiece, Hokey Pokey 3, one of the finest of the artist's works to appear at auction.
The Fairfield Trust Collection represents a significant private collection of modern and contemporary art, compiled over several decades in Wellington. With a strong accent on line and the written word, the collection includes several major works by leading New Zealand artists Ralph Hotere and Bill Hammond along with early works by Colin McCahon and Toss Woollaston. The collection also features international prints by Joan Miró and Antoni Tàpies.
Chris Booth is one of our most important sculptors. His works manifest a deep concern with the way the development of European society has altered the land and spirituality of Aotearoa and how we continue to degrade our natural environment. His collection includes works by Ralph Hotere, Cilla McQueen, and pioneering Māori modernist, Selwyn Wilson.
The auction will be conducted live in our Newton saleroom with online bidding available via this online bidding platform or app.
