The Greer Twiss Collection⁠
"An Imaginative Curiosity"⁠
February 2026⁠

Art+Object is delighted to announce a sale dedicated to one of the country's pre-eminent object makers, Greer Twiss (1937–2025). With a celebrated career spanning over six decades, Twiss is a crucial figure in the development of 20th Century sculpture and image making in Aotearoa New Zealand.⁠
Born in Auckland, Twiss was a student at Auckland Boys Grammar School and later became Head of sculpture at Elam School of Fine Arts between 1974 and 1988. His public sculptures such as Karangahape Rocks (1969) have made him one of the country’s most visible and loved sculptors.⁠
⁠Art+Object will present a number of the artist’s works from his own collection, alongside works by his⁠ contemporaries from his personal collection.⁠

Viewing will be in person alongside New Collectors Art & Studio Ceramics, but the auction will be an online-only auction.
