Amazingly generous items are being donated every day in the lead-up to the GABA GOLD Charity Auction & Dinner at The Langham this Sunday 6 November.

 

GABA’s strongest ever catalogue of artworks will go under the hammer, including works by acclaimed New Zealand artists, including Michael Parekowhai, Reuben Paterson, Sally Burton, Ewan McDougall, Miriam Saphira, K. Airini Vane, David K. Shields and Agnes Wood; Australian artist Ross Watson; and American artists, Jeanne Roth and Jane Aughey.

 

There’s also a thrilling variety of celebrity items and experiences being auctioned off, including signed books from Stephen Fry, a personal portrait shoot with photographer Russ Flatt, a walk-on-role experience for two people on Shortland Street, a walk-and-talk garden consultation with Tony Murrell, a signed Rugby World Cup Referees jersey, and the mandatory Dan Carter-signed Jockey undergarments.

 

And for political party people, there are wining and dining experiences with Labour’s Maryan Street and Jacinda Ardern, National’s Nikki Kaye and Maggie Barry, plus two signed bottles of Prime Minister John Key’s private reserve Pinot Noir.
