Leading Australian Arts Commentator labels ART+OBJECT as 'Inspirational' and 'Future' of Auction House Presentation



Adrian Newstead - leading market expert, commentator and former Managing Director of Australia's leading auction house Menzies Arts Brands - commenting on the dire state of the Aboriginal art market and the predictable nature of Australian art auction catalogues, in an article entitled 'Bonhams Fire in Bid to Ignite Aboriginal Art World' closes his latest article with the following paragraph:

"To glimpse the future they would do well to take a look at the fresh and exciting way in which auctions are being presented by a true 21st Century auction house - New Zealand's Art+Object. Real inspiration is only as far away as our Antipodean neighbors."

High praise indeed... Thanks Adrian and that certainly ensures the continuation of your complimentary subscription.
