New Zealand's premier international showcase for contemporary art, Auckland Art Fair, returns this year after a three-year hiatus, from 25 to 29 May at The Cloud on Auckland's Queens Wharf. The 2016 edition brings together 40 galleries from New Zealand, Australia, the Pacific, and South America.
Exhibitors have been selected based on the merit of their proposals by an independent selection committee comprising Michael Lett, Director of Michael Lett Gallery (Auckland); Dayle Mace, longstanding supporter and patron of the arts in New Zealand; Justin Paton, Head Curator of International Art at the Art Gallery of New South Wales (Sydney); Simon Rees, Director of the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery / Len Lye Centre (New Plymouth); and Hamish Keith, cultural commentator.
