Last night A+O held their most successful sale of photographs yet, creating a raft of new auction records and raising the bar for secondary sales of New Zealand photography. In what is a record price in this country for the sale of a photographic work at auction, Fiona Pardington's Quai Branly suite of nine Heitiki realised $64 275, and her single image Ake Ake Huia wasn't too far behind flying out the door well over its top estimate for $26 000 ($30 385). Yvonne Todd's Goat Sluice also made a record $9350. The total turnover for the sale sits at $231 000 and we'll have more information soon.
