Description

New Zealand's premier auction house specialising in the sale of Art, Decorative & Asian Arts, Fine Wines & Whiskies, Fine Jewels, Watches & Luxury Accessories, and Collectors' Cars, Motorcycles & Automobilia

Established in 1976, Webb’s has a long and rich history as New Zealand’s premier auction house. Founder Peter Webb began his career in the art industry as exhibitions officer at Auckland Art Gallery in the 1950s. He established Auckland’s first dealer gallery and opened with Colin McCahon’s first Auckland exhibition in 1958; then, by the early 1970s, Webb began to introduce art auctions to his New Zealand clients. These auctions were met with an enthusiastic response and, gradually, the business transformed to be the first auction house in New Zealand to sell contemporary art at auction.
