Art Gallery, drinks at Fox Jensen McCrory,
a private collection visit and a morning at
the internationally-acclaimed Gibbs Farm
sculpture park.
Fine dining experiences at some of
the city’s top restaurants and five-star

making this annual event a must for any
collector wishing to experience the best of
the Auckland art scene. McKenzie has also
run three Art Collector tours to Art Basel
