Last. Loneliest. Loveliest. Exquisite. Apart.

This is how Rudyard Kipling described Auckland.

i went to the ART OF THE CITY - A Walk of Architecture and Art with Denise.

i really enjoyed and have learnt a lot from this walk.

Thanks  to our guide, David from Auckland Walks.

5 November 2010, Friday

1pm-3pm

In conjunction with Auckland Art Week (5-14 November 2010)

A unique event, exploring four outstanding heritage buildings and the exemplary working spaces devised within. Visit the Endeans and Blackett's buildings, 47 High Street and the Gus Fisher Gallery, where four of the city’s leading art dealers and exhibitors (Jane Sanders, Sue Crockford, Anna Miles and Linda Tyler – the Art of the City) explain the dynamic between their galleries and the art displayed within.
