The Art Issue: our new cover

Our new cover, which we're rather pleased with, features a photo by Nicole Bachmann of the London home of New Zealand sculptor Francis Upritchard and her husband, furniture designer Martino Gamper. It's on newsstands from Monday February 4. We think it's pretty good, and we hope you like it too. 


Inside the magazine is a visual feast, featuring homes and studios of artists and collectors including Tony de Lautour, Rohan Wealleans, Fiona Pardington, Bill Sutton, Dick Frizzell, Anthony Goicolea, Emily Wolfe, and more. We cover a lot of ground, from Christchurch to Hawke's Bay, London and Auckland - all of it in the service of inspiring you, our readers, of course.

Cathleen McGuigan visits New Zealand

We're delighted to announce that this year's Home of the Year lectures will be given by Cathleen McGuigan, the New York-based editor in chief of Architectural Record magazine, the most important architecture magazine in the US. 

 

Cathleen is giving talks in Auckland (on February 19) and Christchurch (on February 21) on the topic of New American Urbanism - how architects are rejuvenating US cities, and what New Zealand can learn from them. 

Cathleen will be in conversation with HOME editor Jeremy Hansen, and will show a number of ingenious urban developments from a range of US cities. Please come along, as it's going to be a great and stimulating talk. 

Cathleen is visiting as the international member of our Home of the Year 2013 jury. We're very grateful to our Home of the Year partner, Altherm Window Systems, for making Cathleen's visit possible.

Auckland 6.30pm, Tuesday February 19
