Art Auction, Newton Central School Hall, Monmouth Street, Grey Lynn
On Sunday
16th March an extraordinary exhibition of contemporary
artworks will be auctioned at Newton Central School Hall to
support their innovative Maori bilingual unit. The
contributing artists include many familiar names alongside
specially selected fresh talent, offering a range of
paintings, sculpture, photography, and fabric and fibre
art.
Some of the works have been produced specifically
for the auction while others have been specially released
from back catalogue, providing a unique opportunity to
purchase artworks unavailable elsewhere.
The auction starts at 3pm on Sunday; previewing is available from 5-7pm on Saturday 15th March, and from 1pm until the auction begins on Sunday. Absentee bids will be accepted, and several limited edition works will be available with a buy-now option.
