At Webb's, 18 Manukau Rd, Newmarket

View the online catalogue at www.photoforum-nz.org

This auction was instigated specifically to raise money for Photoforum’s ongoing programme of publishing, exhibitions and other activities. Conceived on a more modest scale originally, it has grown through the generous support of all contributors into something much more exciting and intriguing.

With such a wealth of exciting contributions on offer (from over 50 photographers), this auction promises to be a lively social event for photographers and their audience to meet in person. Contemporary works include offerings by Marti Friedlander, Ans Westra, Joyce Campbell, Mark Adams, Harvey Benge, Darren Glass and many more. These are supplemented by a selection of unmounted vintage 19th & 20th century photographs and a few exhibition quality reprints of major New Zealand pioneer images by photographers such as Burton Bros, and Tyree.

We are particularly grateful to Webb’s for hosting this auction and the pre-auction display because it was Peter Webb, always the visionary, who was the auctioneer for PhotoForum’s first professional auction, held 30 years ago, on 28 April 1978.

Auctions, with their distinct air of unpredictability, are always fascinating. So please take this opportunity to hunt for potential bargains, support your favourite photographer, and help PhotoForum’s promotion of fine New Zealand photography all at the same time.
