our Work
We look after works by premiere sculptors for some of the most important art collectors in New Zealand. ObjektCare has maintained repaired and restored works by both local and international artists including Henry Moore, Tony Cragg, Michael Parekowhai, Terry Stringer, Paul Dibble, Lew Summers, Andrew Drummond, Richard Mathieson, Dion Hitchens, Martin Selman among many others.
No material or sculpture size is out of ObjektCare’s scope. ObjektCare’s expert care extends to many sculptural materials approaching each in the way required for optimal results. We work with sculptures and art objects made of bronze, brass, copper, stainless steel, aluminium, fibreglass, glass, and ceramics.
Our Feedback
We have used Objektcare for several years now, during which time they have cared for small and large sculptures, restored sculptures in poor condition, and build new bases. Their attention to detail is excellent, and our works have never looked better. We thoroughly recommend Objektcare.
