New Zealand's sculpture maintenance and repair experts.
ObjektCare has cared for artworks by leading New Zealand and international artists including Michael Parekowhai, Paul Dibble, Terry Stringer, Tony Cragg, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth and Sanne Mestrom, with works held in public, private and institutional collections. We specialise in the conservation, maintenance and restoration of bronze, stainless steel, aluminium, painted steel, fibreglass, glass, ceramic and mixed-media sculptures.
Scheduled, preventative sculpture cleaning that guards surface and value against UV, salt, pollution and the marks of everyday contact — keeping a collection consistent, year on year.

ObjektCare is led by Nate Savill — an Associate Member of the New Zealand Conservators of Cultural Materials, trained under U.S. master patineur Patrick Kipper, and a long-time technical collaborator with eminent bronze sculptor Terry Stringer. That depth of knowledge, across bronze, stone, steel, glass and ceramics, is what lets us handle almost any sculpture the right way.
We care for works by leading New Zealand and international sculptors, for some of the country's most important public and private collections.
