After looking at some of the best examples of public art in the country we decided to present a a few works commissioned by private and corporate collectors. First up is Billy Apple’s Credit Held, a wall work in the reception foyer of Minter Ellison Rudd Watts’ Auckland offices. With this transaction work (art for legal services to the value of $100,000) Billy Apple re-brands the MERW brand, adding value to it by making it over as an artwork, creating a space where the art of business meets the business of art.
