Dave’s Faves for the Deutscher + Hackett Auction on 18 April 2018

Deutscher + Hackett kick off the 2018 fine art auction season with a finely curated offering of 117 lot on 18 April in Sydney.
They include some sublime Australian impressionist works by husband and wife team Ethel Carrick and Emanuel Phillips Fox, a good number of 20th century sculptures from the greats (Klippel, King, Meadmore) to the young guns (Seton), and photography from Australia’s most famous photograph (Sunbaker) to the most contemporary (Gladwell).
In the indigenous section, there is a very early, rare Papunya Tula work on offer, and in the  D+H “specials” of colonial paintings, an 1846 view of Goulburn by Joseph Backler (lot 58).
We also notice a great selection of works on paper by outstanding Australian artists.
If you are interested in any of the lots, let us know.
