Len Castle: Falcon Headed Bowl (detail), 1998
Sorry, this event has been and gone.
Thursday 18 June 2009 | 6pm | $10
Join Hamish Coney, Managing Director of Art+Object, for an insight into the complex workings of the NZ art market, in connection with 'Thrill Me Every Day'. Refreshments provided, and all galleries will be open until 8pm.
Hamish gives an insider's guide to an art market that turns over $50 million a year. Find out what to look for when buying art, what to avoid and what to sell your first-born for. See what gets Hamish excited in this Idealog article.
In this Listener feature, Hamish talks about the return to popularity of collecting as a hobby – one Kiwis are particularly good at.
“Maybe it’s a response to an incredibly fast-paced, changing world. Everything, especially technology, is changing constantly. It’s hard to find a piece of your life that is solid. Collecting is something where the individual can put some order back into their life.”
