Webb’s in the News

Webb’s consistently secures significant media coverage across national and international channels, from regular features in local news to globally viral, record-breaking stories.

Webb’s has and continues to be at the forefront of some of Aotearoa’s most talked-about auction moments. From bringing the Queen’s Rolls-Royce under the hammer; to setting a globally reported, world record for a single huia feather; and steadily shaping the country’s secondary art market with history-defining sales. Webb's auctions capture the public imagination, driving conversations across newsrooms and social media platforms worldwide.
