A2 Art will incorporate the sale of works from The Cordyline Collection and works from VAANA Peace Mural artists. The Cordyline Collection is a Wellington based buying collective that was established in 2002 with the aim of collecting and fostering a dialogue around contemporary New Zealand art practise. VAANA – Visual Artists Against Nuclear Arms – was formed in 1984 to raise public awareness against nuclear proliferation and their most significant project to date has been the completion of a peace mural on the corner of Karangahape and Ponsonby roads. This sale will include works by original members of VAANA and more recent works commissioned specifically for the peace mural.
