Seasonal
Fluctuations
Despite gloomy economic forecasts, the outlook for Auckland Art
Fair 2009 is very bright indeed.
A confirmed 40 galleries from all over New Zealand and Australia
will take part in our third biennial event, on Auckland’s
Viaduct Harbour, from 1 – 3 May 2009. The fair will provide
our visitors with an opportunity to view and purchase work by the
most sought after artists from both sides of the Tasman, and get
their heads around what makes work in this part of the world unique.
Our trans-Tasman dialogue will extend even further this year with
a collectable catalogue, published by Random House, entitled New
Art Now, with contextual essays by leading art writers and commentators.
The dialogue continues with an expanded public programme including
panel discussions by local and international speakers, and a lecture
by our fascinating keynote speaker who we will tell you more about
in the New Year…
In the meanwhile, I wish you all a very happy holiday season and
a well-earned break after a busy and challenging year.
