That banging sound you hear coming out of Auckland this weekend may be the auctioneer's hammer falling on some of the country's greatest works of art.
The works include furnishings and notable pieces from such luminaries as Colin McCahon, Frances Hodgkins and Tony Fomison - all of them from the sprawling collection of the late Peter Tatham and Adrian Burr, who died in 2017 and 2020 respectively.
The auction will take place at the Art+Object auction house.
Co-director Leigh Melville spoke to Guyon Espiner.
