We are proud to present the March 2026 Works of Art catalogue, launching Webb’s 50th anniversary celebrations with a particularly special offering of depth and distinction.
At its heart is a selection of works from the private collection of the late Sir Miles Warren, one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most influential twentieth-century architects. His refined eye for line, texture and form shaped an extraordinary collection, led by the catalogue's cover work, Protective Helmet (1962) by Pat Hanly.
The auction highlights deep personal and artist connections across disciplines. It features masterworks by Colin McCahon, including Floodgate I (1964–65), once owned by artist Rosalie Gascoigne, and two works from Ralph Hotere’s Requiem series, honouring his friend, composer Tony Watson, seeding an intrinsic relationship between art and music. We also offer an exceptional suite of works by Bill Hammond and by Fiona Pardington, whose upcoming presentation at the Venice Biennale 2026 marks a major moment for New Zealand art on a global stage.
From architecture to art, music to patronage, this edition of Works of Art celebrates the enduring connections that define our cultural landscape, and offers collectors a rare opportunity to share in that legacy.

A Capital Address
In 1957, Peter Webb launched his first dealer gallery, where he hosted a group show featuring Colin McCahon, Rita Angus, and Toss Woollaston; names we now recognise as some of the most renowned in the Aotearoa art world.
Later that year, Webb gave Colin McCahon his first solo show, a move that marked an important milestone in New Zealand's art history. Peter Webb's commitment to working directly with artists continues to this day in our Webb’s Wellington Gallery. With regularly updated exhibitions we showcase the best of New Zealand art, carrying on the legacy and passion of his vision.
Complementary to the auction previews, Webb's Wellington Gallery offers an exciting calendar of selling exhibitions. These exhibitions allow customers to purchase the works on display immediately, making them a perfect opportunity for art enthusiasts to invest in unique pieces created by established and emerging artists.
The exhibitions program is led by Virginia Woods-Jack with the support of Senior Arts Specialist Mark Hutchins-Pond, both of whom possess a wealth of expertise and a deep appreciation for the arts. The passion and proficiency of our small but dedicated team enable them to effectively curate and manage exhibitions, enhancing the gallery's offerings and enriching the experiences of our visitors.
Situated at 23 Marion St, Webb’s Wellington features a 500 meter square state-of-the-art gallery space, along with private meeting and viewing rooms – all fitted out to exacting standards. We look forward to welcoming our Wellington clients and guests to the Webb’s experience. Experience New Zealand's rich art history and vibrant present at Webb's Wellington gallery.
