VISION: ART

At The Centre Of A Life Lived

Lois Going bought her first painting in 1972, a Peter McIntyre from Barry Lett Galleries. She attended her first art auction at Webb’s in 1976, at the White Heron Lodge in Parnell. Over the following decades she would regularly make the three-hour journey from her home in Tutukaka to Auckland, attending exhibition openings, auctions and art fairs and forming lifelong relationships with artists, dealers and auctioneers and all the while quietly assembling a private art collection of national signifi cance. Lois herself began painting in the 1970s and she continues to work and exhibit today.

Art+Object is delighted to be presenting her lifetime art collection.
