Show Notes
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for collectors to own a precious piece of New Zealand art.
Bill Hammond's Melting Moments I goes under the hammer tonight for the first time- and it's expected to get about $2.5 million.
It was painted during Hammond's three-year green and gold period.
Webb's Director of Art Charles Ninow says a lot of interest is expected tonight.
"These works are really sought after- there are hardly any of them, even though they are so iconic. Most people haven't even seen one in the flesh before, I've only seen a handful. It's a very, very exciting painting."
