If you fancy a Hotere or Albrecht but can't afford a one-off piece, Editions - an exhibition that celebrates the limited edition in contemporary art - might be just up your alley. The exhibition, which runs from 16 August - 1 September at Wellington's Tinakori Gallery, focuses on printmaking and includes examples of linocuts, ultrachromes, screenprints, lithographs, woodcuts, etchings and aquatints.

Image: The Phantom (detail), Paul HartiganBecause the works are multiples, they are more affordable and therefore excellent for emerging collectors. This is an aspect of the show that most excites Director Marcia Page, who believes the Gallery has a significant part to play in encouraging and supporting people who are beginning a collection.
"It is enormously rewarding for them to be able to buy the work of an artist they admire, whose paintings or sculptures are still beyond their means. I feel it is important for us to assist them, in their role as future advocates of the arts," she says.
Featured artists: Gretchen Albrecht, John Drawbridge, Andrew Drummond, Dick Frizzell, Max Gimblett, Pat Hanly, Jeffrey Harris, Paul Hartigan, Ralph Hotere, Karl Maughan, John Pule, Grahame Sydney, Harry Watson and Robin White.
