The late Ralph Hotere gifted ‘Hang in There Mate’ to the NG Building’s owners in 2013 with specific instructions that it be used to help save the building from demolition. With stadium plans now threatening its future, that time has come.

We invite you to join us for an auction featuring this work, and two others by Ralph Hotere, alongside 50 other established New Zealand artists.

Full catalogue of works: ngspace.co.nz/auction

Complimentary drinks and nibbles will be provided by Lizzie's Cuisine, The Bone Line, and Three Boys Brewery.

Works will be available to view at NG during business hours from Thursday 6th May (Monday-Friday 10am - 5pm, Saturday 10am - 4pm).

If you cannot attend in person phone bidding and pre-auction bids can be arranged: please email us at savengauction@gmail.com
