Always Consigning Important & Rare Art
Collectable
Important & Rare auctions are the proven, preeminent sale category for major works of art offered for sale in New Zealand. These auctions take place three times annually. With over 50 years in business, experience continues to equal results. Due to an appreciative, and greatly valued clientele of nationwide and international buyers and sellers we look forward to breaking new ground. Charles Frederick Goldie, Colin McCahon, Felix Kelly, Gottfried Lindauer and Frances Hodgkins are just some of the highlighted artist’s we seek for these sales.
The buzz generated by International Art Centre’s Collectable Art auctions reflects the popularity of this sale: an event at which seasoned connoisseurs and budding collectors alike converge to appreciate one of the most eclectic and diverse offerings available to the market. Because this auction specifically caters to the more affordable end of the market, this is an exciting opportunity to unearth some real treasures. The Collectable Art sale offers works from highly-sought after artists in print and edition form, as well as quality works from artists whose presence on the secondary market is just beginning to crystallise. These sales present an exciting offering of both painting and sculpture by a range of our modern and contemporary greats.
Single Owner Collections From time to time, the secondary market is fortunate enough to be exposed to one of those rare collections which transcends the value of its individual works of art, and stands to represent something iconic in its entirety. International Art Centre is well-versed in the process of offering single-owner collections for sale, and take pride in the process of curating a single-owner sale when the opportunity arises. We offer a targeted marketing campaign and maximise the use of both electronic and print-based collateral to effectively showcase such collections to maximum effect. The strong networks which have been established by International Art Centre both locally and internationally are reflected in some of the private collections which have been entrusted to us in recent years, namely: the sale of the John Leech collection, Treasures from the Dame Kiri Te Kanawa Collection, the Spark Foundation Collection, and a selection of works from the Fletcher Trust Collection.
ART at HOME Our Art at Home sale offer astute collectors the opportunity to browse and acquire a diverse array of contemporary art, from emerging newcomers to established staples. Artists shown in this auction practice across a diverse range of media including photography, painting and printmaking.
