14 pieces that are worth making note of at this year’s Auckland Art Fair

Taking up post, once again, at The Cloud on Auckland’s Queens Wharf, the Auckland Art Fair is back and this year marks the Fair’s change from a biennial to an annual event. Seeing a plethora of artistic talent descend on Auckland, the AAF is a definite highlight on our cultural calendars and if this year’s offerings are anything to go by, the bar for future events is being set especially high. We’ve had a glimpse at some of the numerous works of art on offer this year, and despite being a tough decision, we’ve whittled it down to 14 pieces to look out for.
