IMPORTANT NOTES: 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 working days after the auction date, unless arranged with us.

BIDS UNDER RESERVE & HIGHEST SUBJECT BIDS: When the highest bid is below the vendor's reserve, this work may announced by the auctioneer as sold “subject to vendor's approval” or similar phrase. This signifies that the highest bidder will be the purchaser at the bid price if the vendor accepts this price. If this highest bid is accepted, then the purchaser has entered a contract to purchase the item at the bid price plus any relevant buyer’s premium. As we are not yet able to mark subject bids online, any subject bids will be confirmed by email soon after the auction.

LOT CONDITIONS: The absence of a condition report does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition (some items may have a very brief description of the fault or may be described with "AF", which means “as found”). 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.

LOT MEASUREMENTS: The measurements provided are of the artworks, not of the frames. You’re welcome to request frame measurements and images by contacting us as above.

FREIGHT: Packing and courier options are available at buyer’s risk and expense. We’ll be in touch after the auction to arrange.
Important Notices for international bidders:
- An export license or certificate is required for any item over 50 years old. We can assist with this process after the auction.
- Any shipping quote provided doesn’t include customs duty, taxes and government charges in the receiving country.

Art+Object is delighted to present the Collection of John and Sheana Gellert.

With its genesis in Petar Vuletic's internationalist, abstraction-focussed Petar/James Gallery in the 1970s, the Gellert Collection features major examples by artists from the gallery including Richard Killeen, Gordon Walters, Milan Mrkusich and Ian Scott.

Continuing to acquire throughout the eighties, nineties and 2000s, the Gellert collection is a significant Auckland collection which remains at the cutting edge of Contemporary Aotearoa-New Zealand practice over nearly half a century.
