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.
