RON BROWNSON ESTATE AUCTION 3
Tuesday, 11 - Tuesday, 18 November 2025
Cordy’s is proud to present the third and final auction of items from the collection of the late Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki curator, Ron Brownson (1952-2023).

At least two generations of artists and peer curators respected Ron as a leader in these vital areas of our culture. Prior to his passing Ron was working on the landmark survey show of the photographer Mark Adams which was staged this year to great acclaim at the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki. This auction is a continuation of the two previous auctions from his estate and will feature an array of items from his wider collection. *Photo shows Ron addressing the crowd at Cordy's (2014) 50th anniversary celebrations. 180 Great South Road, Remuera, Auckland.
