We look forward to welcoming everyone at the viewings of this single-owner collection, that reflects the very varied and global interests and passions of the ownersAnn Sherry AO and Michael Hogan.

Michael Hogan and Ann Sherry have lovingly restored The Abbey over four years to 2015, working with the heritage architects Alan Croker and Letizia Loppo. The renovation won a National Trust Heritage Award in May 2015 and it's an extraordinary achievement, when you consider the state in which the property was in, when they acquired it. The level of detail achieved in this renovation and the stunning visual impact of what they have done, makes a visit to this incredible home a must in itself and then there is the collection!

Ann Sherry was formerly a director of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney and so it is no surprise to see this collection peppered with fine Indigenous and contemporary artworks, ranging from several magnificent Australian bark paintings to a rare and stunning original screen print of Mao by the legendary American artist Andy Warhol. It has been a great privilege spending time with Ann and Michael and their son Nick at their Sydney home while preparing this auction catalogue and we look forward to the viewing at this incredible property in Sydney in February

The History of The Abbey, 272 Johnson Street

Annandale, Sydney NSW

The Abbey was built by John Young, a builder who had migrated from England to Australia. After working for some time as a builder in Melbourne, Young moved to Sydney and continued a successful career. In 1877, he bought land in what is now the suburb of Annandale, where he had visions of creating a garden suburb that would rival exclusive harbourside suburbs like Darling Point. He proceeded to build an extraordinary group of eight homes colloquially known as the Witches houses along a ridge near Rozelle Bay: The Abbey, Oybin, Kenilworth, Rozelle (since demolished), Greba, Hockindon, Highroyd and Claremont (since demolished).

The Abbey was the most outstanding of these homes, once described as an "imaginative, romantic house loosely modelled on a Scottish manor It was designed in a variation of the Victorian Free Gothic style and incorporated stencil work, hand-painted panels, timber architraves, a Gothic vault and a tower with gargoyles. Young was the principal builder of St Mary's Cathedral, and it was rumoured that he had stolen gargoyles from the cathedral to use on his Annandale homes. He also used reinforced concrete, quite an innovation at the time. Young was a Freemason and the house was decorated with Masonic symbols. It was completed in 1882. Young built the home to impress his wife and encourage her to return from England. She did not return and they never lived in it. The Abbey was occupied by housekeepers while Young lived in a house called Kentville, near Rozelle Bay, since

demolished. From 1887, the ballroom and stables of The Abbey were used as a boarding house for private schools. In 1924, the house was subdivided and converted to flats—the beginning of a long period of decline. In 1959 it was acquired by radio engineer Lancelot Davis for the sum of £4,500 for his son, Sydney surgeon Dr Geoffrey L. R. Davis. Dr Davis, an associate of the bohemian Sydney

Push, continued to lease out some of the original separate units for two decades while proceeding with a long-term restoration of the house. The Davis family occupied The Abbey for fifty years. Dr Davis died in 2008. Ann Sherry and Michael Hogan purchased The Abbey in 2009 and set about restoring it to its former glory.

LITERATURE

See: Andy Warhol Prints: A Catalogue Raisonne 1962–1987, Feldman, F. and Schellmann, J. Published by Ronald Feldman Fine Arts, New York, 1997, cat. II.92, p. 78 (illus.)

$60,000–80,000

In Mao, Andy Warhol shows the image of Chairman Mao to the world through his own iconic screen printing technique. He embellishes Mao's features and clothes with saturated colours that completely changes the political meaning of the portrait: for American audiences, it is no longer a threatening Communist propaganda image, but a fashionable and charming new idol in Warhol's popular culture of the 1970s. Ten years after the completion of Mao series, Andy Warhol went to China in 1982. In that era where few convenient ways of communication were available, many contemporary Chinese artists were deeply inspired by Warhol such as Zeng Fanzhi, Wang Guangyi and Yu Youhan.

Lou Klepac, Nora Heysen, Beagle Press. Sydney, 1989.

$15,000–20,000

Nora Heysen was born in Hahndorf, South Australia as the fourth child of landscape painter (later Sir) Hans Heysen and his wife Selma Heysen (née Bartels), and was raised at The Cedars in Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills. She studied art from 1926 to 1930 at the School of Fine Arts in Adelaide under F. Millward Grey and sold paintings to the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Art Gallery of South Australia in 1930. From 1930 to 1933, she continued to study two days a week at the School, and worked in her own studio the rest of the time. In 1931 she visited Sydney with her parents, and spent two weeks studying at the Julian Ashton Art School

In 1938, she entered two portraits in the Archibald Prize. Her portrait of Madame Elink Schuurman was awarded the prize and she became the first woman to win the Archibald. There was a controversy involving criticism of her win by painter Max Meldrum

On October 12, 1943, she became the first woman to be appointed as an Australian war artist at the rank of captain. During her service, Heysen completed over 170 works of art and was discharged from service in 1946 in New Guinea

A 1939 article in The Australian Women's Weekly ran with the headline "Girl Painter Who Won Art Prize is also Good Cook" and lists three of Heysen's favourite recipes along with her strategies for achieving domestic duties and leaving time for painting.

A major retrospective exhibition of the work of daughter and father, Hans and Nora Heysen: Two Generations of Australian Art was curated by the National Gallery of Victoria March - July 2019. Reviewing it, Sydney Morning Herald critic John McDonald described Nora's career as a "fractured, stop-start affair", but that in a "popular rethinking of the Heysen's place in local art history ... Nora's star has risen while her father's has declined". McDonald nominated as Nora's signature work her "breathtaking still life, Eggs (1927)" from the Hinton collection in the New England Regional Art Museum, and described her Still Life of quinces (1933) from the same collection as "painted with the precision of an old master".

Jennifer Higgie writing in the SMH April 1 2021 said: When the curator and publisher Lou Klepac first visited the artist Nora Heysen in her Sydney studio in the mid-1980s, he expressed surprise that she hadn’t had a solo exhibition in the sixty years that she had lived in the city. Nora replied: “No one ever asked. And I don’t push myself.”

She added that she relished “comfortable obscurity”. Despite her love for her family, and her heartbreak at the breakdown of her marriage, no one was more comfortable with her own company.

In 1998 Nora Heysen was awarded the Order of Australia AM

Terms and Conditions of Sale

The terms and conditions of sale listed here contain the policies of Artvisory Pty Ltd. They are the terms on which Artvisory Pty Ltd and the Seller contract with the Buyer. They may be amended by printed Saleroom Notices or oral announcements made before and during the sale. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these terms.

1. Background to the Terms used in these Conditions

The conditions that are listed below contain terms that are used regularly and may need explanation. They are as follows:

“the Buyer” means the person with the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer

“the Lot” means any item depicted within the sale for auction and in particular the item or items described against any lot number in the catalogue.

“the Hammer price” means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a lot

“the Buyers Premium” means the charge payable by the Buyer to the auction house as a percentage of the hammer price.

“the Reserve” means the lowest amount at which Artvisory has agreed with the Seller that the lot can be sold.

“Forgery” means an item constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole, with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue. Accordingly no lot shall be capable of being a forgery by reason of any damage or restoration work of any kind (Including re-painting).

“the insured value” means the amount that Artvisory in its absolute discretion from time to time shall consider the value for which a lot should be covered for insurance (whether or not insurance is arranged by Artvisory.)

All values expressed in Artvisory Pty Ltd catalogues (in any format) are in Australian Dollars (AU$). All bids, “hammer price”, “reserves”, “Buyers Premium” and other expressions of value are understood by all parties to be in Australian Dollars (AU$) unless otherwise specified.

2. Artvisory Auctions as Agent

Except as otherwise stated Artvisory Pty Ltd acts as agent for the Seller.

The contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.

3. Before the Sale

a) Examination of Property Prospective Buyers are strongly advised to examine in person any property in which they are interested before the Auction takes place. Neither Artvisory nor the Seller provides any guarantee in relation to the nature of the property apart from the Limited warranty in the paragraph below.

The property is otherwise sold “AS IS”

b) Catalogue and other Descriptions

All statements by Artvisory in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by Artvisory of any kind. References in the catalogue entry to the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or it’s value for any other purpose. Neither Artvisory nor The Seller is responsible for any errors or omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material. Images are measured height by width (sight size). Illustrations are provided only as a guide and should not be relied upon as a true representation of colour or condition. Images are not shown at a standard scale. Mention is rarely made of frames (which may be provided as supplementary images on the website) which do not form part of the lot as described in the printed catalogue.

Foreign buyers should note that all transactions are in Australian dollars so there may be a small exchange rate risk. The costs associated with acquiring a good certificate will be carried by the purchaser. If the item turns out to be forged or otherwise incorrectly described, all reasonable costs will be borne by the vendor.

c) Buyers Responsibility

All property is sold “as is” without representation or warranty of any kind by Artvisory or the Seller. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue by requesting a condition report

No lot to be rejected if, subsequent to the sale, it has been immersed in liquid or treated by any other process unless the Auctioneer’s permission to subject the lot to such immersion or treatment has first been obtained in writing.

4. At the Sale

a) Refusal of Admission

Artvisory reserves the right at our complete discretion to refuse admission to the auction premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid.

b) Registration before Bidding

Any prospective new buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide photo-identification before bidding. Artvisory may request bank, trade or other financial references to substantiate this registration.

c) Bidding as a Principal

When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price including the buyers premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Artvisory before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Artvisory and that Artvisory will only look to the principal for payment.

d) International Registrations

All International clients not known to Artvisory will be required to scan through an accredited form of photo identification and pay a deposit at our discretion in cleared funds into Artvisory’s account at least 24 hours before the commencement of the auction. Bids will not be accepted without this deposit. Artvisory also reserves the right to request any additional forms of identification prior to registering an overseas bid. This deposit can be made using a credit card, however the balance of any purchase price in excess of $5,000 can not be charged to this card without prior arrangement.

This deposit is redeemable against any auction purchase.

e) Absentee bids

Artvisory will use reasonable efforts to execute written bids delivered to us AT LEAST 24 Hours before the sale for the convenience of those clients who are unable to attend the auction in person. If we receive identical written bids on a particular lot, and at the auction these are the highest bids on that lot, then the lot will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors or omissions which may arise. It is the bidder’s responsibility to check with Artvisory after the auction if they were successful. Unlimited or “Buy” bids will not be accepted.

f) Telephone bids

Priority will be given to overseas and interstate bidders. Please refer to the catalogue for the Telephone Bids form. Arrangements for this service must be confirmed AT LEAST 24 HOURS PRIOR to the auction commencing. Artvisory accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any errors or failure to execute bids. In telephone bidding the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here and accepts that Artvisory cannot be held responsible for any miscommunications in the process. The success of telephone bidding cannot be guaranteed due to circumstances that are unforeseen. Buyers should be aware of the risk and accept the consequences should contact be unsuccessful at the time of Auction. You must advise Artvisory of the lots in question and you will be assumed to be a buyer at the minimum price of 75% of estimate (ie. reserve) for all such lots. Artvisory will advise Telephone Bidders who have registered at least 24 hours before the auction of any relevant changes to descriptions, withdrawals or any other sale room notices.

68

G) Online Bidding

Artvisory offers an online bidding service via Invaluable.com. When bidding online the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here by Artvisory and agrees to pay any fees charged in regard to any purchases made via Invaluable.com. Artvisory accepts no responsibility for any errors, failure to execute bids or any other miscommunications regarding this process. It is the online bidder’s responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the relevant information regarding bids, lot numbers and contact details.

H) Reserves

Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders.

I) Auctioneers Discretion

The Auctioneer has the right at his absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and, in the case or error or dispute and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to re-offer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, then Artvisory’s sale record is conclusive.

J) Successful bid and passing of risk

Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes immediately to the Buyer.

K) Indicative Bidding steps, etc.

The Seller shall have the right, to require the Buyer to obtain two written opinions by recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to the Buyer and Artvisory to decide whether or not to cancel the sale under warranty.

vi) the Buyer must return the lot to Seller in the same condition that it was purchased.
