GOVETT-BREWSTER EDITION #1 |
| The inaugural Govett-Brewster Edition is a stunning range of cameo brooches by Auckland artist Octavia Cook, capturing the elegance and spirited vision of our founding patron Monica Brewster. Part Victorian memento, part homage to spirited philanthropy and utterly contemporary, Cook’s gorgeous one-off variations translate Monica’s profile into exquisite, wearable art. Each brooch is presented in a black velvet case, NZ$2,000 each. |

GOVETT-BREWSTER EDITION #2 |
| The second Govett-Brewster Edition is a limited run of Cathode Coffee Cups by Whanganui-based artists Julian Priest and Sue James. Comprised of recycled glass from the front face of discarded computer screens, the cups take the mundanity of a redundant computer screen and transforms them into the possibility of elegant vessels for drinking. Each cup is labelled with its edition number using the hexadecimal numbering system, common in the language of computer programming. NZ$256 each. |

PARIS HOUSE |

Inspired by conceptual artists such as Jenny Holzer, each wallet is covered with slogans such as ‘I’d rather be rich than stupid’ ‘Have you noticed how the cleverest people in school don’t always get it right?’ or ‘I’m quite well-balanced’. |
