About Us
Fine Art Online have been specialist suppliers of limited edition art prints by significant New Zealand artists since the early 1970's. Started by Graham Chote (now in his 90's) the owner and director of the International Art Centre in Parnell, Auckland, New Zealand. Graham introduced the watercolours, oils, and limited edition prints of Raymond Ching to the New Zealand market and beyond. Graham held memorable sellout exhibitions of Ching's paintings throughout the 1970's and 1980's. The demand and popularity of the artist's work resulted in the publication of limited edition prints and in time, Fine Art Online. The prints were originally sold from his Parnell gallery and throughout a nationwide network of retailers. In 2010 Fine Art Online started selling online.
Fine Art Online was purchased in 2019 by part time artist and art enthusiast Andrew Aitken, along with fellow investors. Andrew once travelled from Dunedin to Auckland by car as a student in order to attend one of Raymond Ching's exhibitions. He has collected Raymond Ching prints since age 18 and is now extremely honoured and proud to be an owner and director of Fine Art Online.
