After purchasing the {{convert|400|ha}} of land for "The Farm" in 1991,[3] Gibbs has collected major artworks by many world-renowned artists from New Zealand and overseas. Much of the artwork is commissioned and, as such, incorporates elements of the landscape into the artwork.[4] The farm also includes several exotic animals such as emus and giraffes,[2] a garage where visitors can glimpse the Gibbs Aquada through the window, and a full-scale wild west town complete with a saloon (in the installation called Grief).[5][6][7] Grief was built through the inspiration of Gibbs' architect son-in-law, Noel Lane,[7] who now cares for the property with Gibbs' daughter Amanda.[8] The town is on a private area of the farm and is not open to the public. The sculpture Electrum (for Len Lye), by Eric Orr, is the world's largest Tesla coil ({{convert|11.6|m|ft|disp=or}} tall) and numerous artworks are large enough to be seen from satellite imagery at high magnification. Gibbs is a major sponsor of ACT New Zealand, and most years, the party holds its annual conference at the Gibbs Farm.[9] Artworks
