Silent Irony
It is Christmas eve and all through the shop nothing is stirring...
In what I can only relay to you as an act of supreme irony, our demonstration model of our silent night music box has fallen...well, SILENT!
Continuing the silent theme, we would like to thank all our customers who have commented on the shop being an oasis and calm and quiet (no music, as we share a building with the library, sssshhh!). I see a trend for us here to for-go the ubiquitous festive oral wallpaper, and it seems our little music box agrees.
A merry (and peaceful) Christmas to all our customers; from all of us at the gallery shop.

Build it, and they will come
After Feb 2011 we became the shop with no gallery. Now we are the shop with no street. Confused?
Notes
Light bulb moment
I thought nothing would beat the practicallty of the rubber vases, I was wrong...
Coming very soon and exclusive in NZ to the gallery shop the simple and yet brilliantly conceived LED Magic Bulb. Can be used as an emergency light during power failures and turns into a torch. Screw and bayonet fitting, 6 watt.
Notes
Blood is Thicker than a Fish in a Tin
Since we have moved location we have been working hard to bring new products driven by the collection (since none of us get to see it). We have contacted many artists and copyright holders and they have been hugely supportive in our endeavours.
Soon you will see these for yourselves, but here is a sneak preview of some of the products and images we have been working with.
Notes
“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”
I have to agree with Edgar Degas.
The finishing touches to our new shop are up and they look great (thanks to our designer, Peter Bray).
Notes
A bit kinky!
Customers to our new shop have been very keen on the new 'twists' in our product range.
Notes
As there is a constant flow of light we are born into the pure land
After many, many months in the 'Darkness' of the empty gallery, I can think of no better words than those of Colin McCahon to signify the opening of the new gallery shop at 40 Lichfield Street.
Drop in Mon-Fri 10am-5pm, 10am-4pm Weekends
See you all soon!
