Over The Net

overthenet.blogspot.co.nz

This is a daily art blog written by New Zealand’s most well known contemporary art collectors. This is always my go-to – Jim and Mary Barr certainly have their fingers on the pulse.

Leg of Lamb

lamblegs.wordpress.com

Another New Zealand art blog, but quickly becoming more of a combined Australian/New Zealand one, it perfectly compliments Over The Net and they often refer to each other.

EyeContact

eyecontactsite.com

Run by New Zealand artist John Hurrell, this site is almost a one-stop shop for New Zealand (and increasingly overseas) art reviews. A large number of the country’s exhibitions are on it – although Dunedin could use with some more coverage.

Contemporary Art Daily

contemporaryartdaily.com

With an international scope, this site will force you to cast your net wide into the art world. It features stunning images and well-crafted reviews, and truly shows you the best of the world.

artforum.com/diary
