Art+Object’s final auction of Important Paintings and Contemporary Art in 2024 will be held on Thursday 21 November and we now invite suitable consignments. Several significant early entries have been consigned into this catalogue including one of Ralph Hotere's significant 'Song Cycle' Banners. Vidyapati's Song (1975), was formerly in the artist's collection, and then in the collection of the distinguished poet Cilla McQueen, and is among his finest paintings. Richly sensuous, Vidyapati's Song conflates visual art, poetry, music, and dance to create a lyrical, metaphysical landscape. A significant private collection of contemporary art has also been consigned, including major works by Bill Hammond, Tony Fomison, Shane Cotton, and Peter Stichbury.Art+Object continues to lead the field in the New Zealand art auction market in 2024 with sales in excess of 10.5 million and several new record prices achieved, including the highest price of the year, achieved for the Charles Frederick Goldie painting, 'Te Aho-o-te-Rangi Wharepu, A Noted Waikato Warrior', which realised $2 100 000 in the April auction. Despite the art market receding somewhat from its lofty post-covid peaks of 2021 and 2022, it continues to demonstrate considerable robustness, and the market for the finest examples of well-provenanced works by Aotearoa - New Zealand's leading artists is stronger than ever.
