New High Prices At Auction in 2012

Geoff Thornley, Voice of Mimesis No. 3

With the first round of auction sales now closed across New Zealand auction houses, Australian Art Sales Digest has listed the new record prices for New Zealand artist's achieved at auction.  Only figures greater than $20 000 are included in their list.  Seven new record prices were achieved across all of the auction houses, with six being acheived at A+O, three in March's sale of the Hodgson Collection and three in our April sale of Important Paintings and Contemporary Art.  You can view the full list at http://www.aasd.com.au/NewHighsCurrent.cfm (you'll need to look in the Australian list to see the sale of the Dale Frank).
