People are flocking to an Auckland auction room tonight for the first time in almost a year after lockdowns forced bidding online.

And all eyes will be on a small Goldie oil painting expected to set you back about the same price as an apartment.

This tiny painting could sell for up to $600,000. Richard Thomson is the director of the International Art Centre and the auctioneer. Lisa Owen asks him about his expectations.
