Sydney Contemporary is Sydney's new international art fair.  The inaugural edition takes place throughout Eveleigh's striking arts precinct Carriageworks (pictured), from 20-22 September 2013.  Several New Zealand galleries are participating (you can read the full list of participating galleries here).  ART+OBJECT have been selected alongside Natalia Bradshaw (Sydney) and Joy Legge (Perth) as VIP Liaisons assisting the Fair in securing the attention of Australasia's expanding collector base.  New Zealander Evan Williams also features on the fair's advisory panel.  To discuss any aspect of our involvement with the fair and joining us in Sydney contact Hamish Coney hamish@artandobject.co.nz  

Fashion fans will be interested to see the April 10 edition of the NZ Herald's VIVA magazine - works by John Pule, Gordon Walters, Andrew McLeod and Dick Frizzell together with the latest winter season fashions - some striking images which fully reveal the scale of many of the major works in our current catalogue

We are delighted to report that from the small offering of five works in the recent New Collectors' art auction, over $23 000 was raised on behalf of The Hone Tuwhare Charitable Trust.  The money will go towards the Trust's goals of building a writers' residency at Hone Tuwhare's old property at Kaka Point in the Catlins.  ART+OBJECT and the Trust would also like to make special mention of the artists who so generously supported the Trust: John Pule, Stanley Palmer, Tracey Tawhiao, Ans Westra, and Wayne Youle.  Hone was always quick to share his talent with artists from all walks of life and he surely would have been humbled by these generous gifts.

Should you wish to support the trust in their goal of restoring the crib and creating an artist's residency, please visit the 'support us' page to find out how: honetuwhare.org.nz/support-us.
