Upcoming Art Events Widow of the artist to authenticate paintings by D’Arcy Doyle Recently, there has been quite a lot of adverse publicity regarding the authenticity of paintings by D’Arcy Doyle. The artist’s widow has naturally been very concerned with her husband’s reputation, and many owners of works do not know anymore whom or what to believe when it comes to the authenticity of the paintings in their homes. To address and set right these uncertainties, Jennefer Doyle will personally authenticate D’Arcy Doyle’s original works in conjunction with Banziger Hulme Fine Art Consultants in Manly on 27th March 2009. We have had calls from many concerned owners of D’Arcy Doyle paintings, and they just want to be reassured of the authenticity of their works. Mrs Doyle has already authenticated a large number of works for the fine art auction house Bonhams and Goodman, and we felt it would be important to assist the many individual owners of his works as well so they can get peace of mind. This is a one-off opportunity for owners of works by D’Arcy Doyle, as Jennefer Doyle will only authenticate works ‘in the flesh’ and will fly specifically to Sydney from Queensland for the day only. Visit D'Arcy Doyle for more information and all details. Annual Art Appraisal Day at Banziger Hulme Fine Art on Saturday, 21 February 2009 You always wanted to find out, but were afraid to ask whether your treasured family painting is really worth something. Well, now is the time to ask the experts at their free annual art appraisal day in Manly. It will be held on Saturday, 21 February 2009 10 am to 2 pm Level 1, 51-53 The Corso All are welcome to bring in an artwork or a photo of it. We will assist in finding out whether you have a truly valuable piece or a treasured family artwork which may still hold still sentimental or historical value. You can also find out whether reframing or conserving will bring your art back to life. The art appraisals cover all Australian and international works of art, including oil paintings, watercolours, limited edition prints, etchings, photographs and sculpture. We run our art appraisal days regularly throughout the state, and every time an exciting work of art turns up. Recently, we discovered this significant painting by Australian impressionist painter Albert Henry Fullwood (1863 – 1930) Newport. It is a previously unknown painting of a Tasmanian windmill from 1897, measuring an impressive 61 x 122 cm. The owner decided on our advice to have his valuable work fully restored and conserved. International enquiries for valuations from people who own Australian art overseas are also frequent – a recent example is the valuation of major work by John Coburn we did for the owner in Texas. The owner paid $US 45 for the work in an op-shop; we valued it at $ 30,000 for insurance. The Sydney Morning Herald published the story in its issue of 4th November 2008.

the creative freedom of the artists' life. The two-part show exhibits work by artists who trained at the National Art School through
the CRTS grant scheme following their service in the World War II. Many
of them went on to contribute in major ways to Australian art history. Amongst others, works and material by Guy Boyd, John Coburn, Bert Flugelman, Roy Fluke, Robert Klippel, Robert Mitchell and Tony Tuckson are on show. On from 10 July to 13 August 2008, at the Gallery, National Art School, Forbes Street, Darlinghurst, Sydney, Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 4 pm

The association was founded in 1986 by Fred Siegenthaler of Switzerland, when paper as an art medium was far less well-known than it is today. With paper and communication as its underlying basis, the main objective of the Association is to facilitate and encourage an international exchange of ideas and to share information about hand papermaking. IAPMA aims to provide the opportunity and inspiration for members to work together, to share solutions to technical problems, to explore different cultural backgrounds and approaches to papermaking.

We achieved a 100 % clearance rate on the works consigned for our clients in the spring fine art sales – usually, 70% is considered a good industry result.

Raising Funds for the Rotary Youth Driver Awareness Programme: Rotary Club Manly organises Appraisal Day on 14 July for a Good Cause All too often we see in the press and on TV the tragedy of young inexperienced drivers involved in horrifying car accidents. The younger the driver the greater the risk of being involved in a serious car accident. That is why Rotary set up the Rotary Youth Rider Awareness Programme (RYDA) in 2000. It educates new young drivers comprehensively in road safety, and now reaches a third of all year 11 students - or about 50,000 students in NSW to date. To raise funds for this vitally important programme, the Rotary Club of Manly has organised an appraisal day for art, antiques, collectables and jewellery. Experts from Lawson-Menzies Auction House, Banziger Hulme Fine Art Consultants and jeweller Kenneth Goldthorp will be on hand to answer the age-old question “And what is it really worth?” Date: Saturday, 14 July Time: 10 am – 2 pm Venue: Manly Village Public School, Assembly Hall, Darley Road. Cost: $ 10 per appraisal Refreshments will be available, with all proceeds from the day going to RYDA. About RYDA The Program targets “awareness” and “attitudinal change” and seeks to encourage young people, year 11 students, who are on the verge of driving or at least who are actively thinking about it, to take a more responsible attitude to motoring. The inclusion of passenger empowerment (and not driver strategies alone) is an example of the broad approach to the course content. Comprising six sessions, it is a one-day event held at a non-school site. It co-ordinates the efforts of local road safety experts, driving instructors, the Police, recovering victims of road crashes, drug and alcohol educators and financial services personnel in such a way that students are made aware of the privilege and responsibilities of owning and driving a motor vehicle.
