Sotheby’s sale of Important Australian Art is scheduled also in Sydney for next week on Tuesday, 27 August from 6.30 pm – going along their familiar path of heavily restricting the lots, this time to 48.
I am looking forward to viewing the lots in Sydney, from this Thursday onwards at 118-122 Queen Street, Woollahra.
Once again, tips, advice, due diligence, bidding – David is just a phone call (02 9977 7764) or email away.
Read Dave’s faves – lot 27 in particular is a must…
Lot 1 – Albert Namatjira, The Valley, MacDonnell Ranges, Northern Territory, 1956, est. $30,000-40,000. The best Namatjira in a very long time – no wonder it’s lot 1
Lot 5 – Fred Williams, Hanging Rock (1976,1980), est. $220,000-280,000. Nice place for a picnic
Lot 7 – Sidney Nolan, Desert Bird, 1948, est. $400,000-600,000. A bird in the hand
Lot 8 – Donald Friend, Boy playing flute with two owls, 1956, est. $10,000-15,000. Seriously surrealistic
Lot 27 – Albert Tucker, Extinction Express, 1988, est. $10,000-15,000. Labor cabinet members
Lot 28 – John Olsen, Goya’s dog and the paella, 1986, est. $200,000-300,000. John’s prices on the rise again
Lot 30 – Brett Whiteley, Vase, 1979, est. $18,000-22,000. Cheeky monkey
Lot 33 – E. Phillips Fox, Gumtrees at Cremorne, 1913-1914, est. $30,000-40,000. Trees that please
Lot 37 – Hans Heysen, Spring Flowers, 1925, est. $40,000-50,000. Say it with flowers
Lot 42 – David Larwill, Aviators, 2009, est. $15,000-25,000. FUN
Viewing is also at Sotheby’s website.
Kind regards
