Art + Object lesson

We've mentioned before how much we enjoy getting the Art +Object catalogues, and the latest one is no exception. So far we haven’t timed a visit to Auckland that coincides with one of their auctions, so it is always interesting to see the pics (and videos) of the work on display. It is a sign of the times that auction house exhibitions are vying with public museums in terms of showing contemporary art in a way that is both engaging and insightful. The best part is that you get to see so many images. The strange case of public museum sites with so few images of current shows continues to be a puzzle. You can go here to get more views and watch a video of Art + Object’s exhibition featuring the Art and Text collection.
