Cygnus X-1 (Special Police) 2001 by Michael Parekowhai
$3000-$4000. Auction February 28 at 6pm

Michael Parekowhai has made headlines lately for his brilliant new work on Queens Wharf, The Lighthouse, but this print dates back more than 15 years, from a series of toy silver badges photographed and cropped against a hot pink background and radically enlarged. The title of the work, Cygnus XI, is the name given to a black hole in the constellation Cygnus. “The little badge is so close, yet so far away,” says Mossgreen-Webb’s Kate Shapiro.
