Auckland Art Fair opens next week in the city's new Viaduct Event Centre


The Auckland Art Fair returns to the city's harbour front next week as the inaugural event in the new Viaduct Event Centre. Knight Landesman is the keynote speaker at this year's edition, taking artworld success factors as his subject. "Each year tens of thousands of artists, all over the world, graduate from art schools, but only a very few ever rise to prominence", he says. "How does an artist get known?"
