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.

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 point 11 'Bids under reserve & highest subject bids' (which also applies to timed-online auctions).

_______________

Art+Object is delighted to present the catalogue for the Rae and Peter Aimer Studio Pottery Collection. Carefully and gradually amassed over a period of about 50 years from the early 1960s, Rae Aimer's taste in applied art was predominantly informed by her life experiences and passions for tramping, travelling, landforms, and the New Zealand environment, together with her education in science and mathematics. Rae's favourite potter was Len Castle and the collection includes many major works by him including several selected for his 1994 retrospective exhibition, 'Making the Molecules Dance'. Rae toured Japanese pottery studios with Castle in 1984 and enjoyed relationships with several local potters including Castle, Graeme Storm and Jeff Scholes. She taught at Auckland Girls Grammar School for many years and later volunteered for the Pumphouse committee in Takapuna. The collection includes works by David Leach, Mirek Smisek, Chester Nealie, Greg Barron, Helen Pollock, Phillip Luxton, Nick Brandon, Rick Rudd, Elena Renker and many more.
3 Abbey Street, Newton, Auckland
On view daily from Friday 29 December to the auction date, 9am-5pm weekdays and 11am-4pm Sat-Sun.
