WORKS FROM THE CHUNN FAMILY COLLECTION, AUCKLAND LOTS 9 - 17 In My Life Art to me is everything. The art of cooking, the art of music, the art of writing, the art of speech and of listening, the art of the moving picture. All art has meaning. All art matters. Human beings making art is the salt and pepper to our lives and some of the most moving art, the best seasoning I’ve ever tasted has been the art of the New Zealand painter and their paintings. I feel lucky to have been born when I was. And that’s not just because of The Beatles (well, not quite). From the middle of the twentieth century the artists of this country have done us proud. They are the Paint Blacks. My father Jerry had a natural eye. He always bought an image, never just a name. He was blessed that way and I was blessed to have been brought up in his house. A house of many colours. I was also blessed with having been brought up on my mother’s cooking. Doubly blessed. My first memory of pictures in our family home were classic ‘cover versions’. Van Gogh’s Cafe Terrace At Night by the front door, his Almond Blossom in the hallway. Michelangelo’s Madonna with Child above the green telephone by the kitchen door and, of course a heavy gold framed mirror hanging over the fireplace. A young boy notices these things. But soon enough along came the burnt orange motorway landscapes of Robert Ellis (from the air he had been an RAF pilot), the vigorously slurped paint of Toss Woollaston as he splashed the rivers and mountains onto the canvases to capture the Wild West Coast of Jerry’s upbringing.

Dear Von was no slouch either. It was her eye that caught Dick Frizzell’s Fabricant Société Anonyme Énigme and pinned it up onto the glossy white painted brickwork of the kitchen wall. Pre-vogue. International. Stunning! Of all the works that hung around the family’s eyes and ears over the years Jacqueline Fahey’s Luncheon on the Grass got the lions’ share of the visitors’ comments. That and Michael Illingworth’s A Calvary for Jim. Mind you, an awful lot of those visitors were teenage boys and girls so no surprise there. I will never forget one afternoon in 1972, sitting among these wonderful pictures in the gallery like living room of the middle terrace house at the top Parnell Road as my brother Michael, with four friends, tried out their new band on me. Split Enz was born. I was the one single audient to their very first performance. Just those paintings and me. As Black Adder might have said, I’ve still got the preliminary sketch right here in my head. There amongst all the beautiful paintings in my life. Geoffrey Chunn

In Luncheon on the Grass, Jacqueline Fahey presents a feminist reimagining of the celebrated realist painting Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe. Manet’s scene is translated to a New Zealand picnic on the grass, set in the artist’s garden at Carrington. Subverting the power dynamic of the original, which is so unambiguously governed by the male gaze, Fahey has clothed her two young women resplendently and it is the men who are naked. The figure in the foreground stares out at the viewer, both inviting and exposing himself to our gaze. His garments are strewn across the grass along with the remains of the picnic: an empty can, biscuit tin and two bottles of champagne. Fahey invests this large scale canvas with a touch of the personal, as Manet’s 19th century dandies are now the artist’s daughter Augusta and her friend Lucy. Both these young women were preparing to start drama school in Wellington the following year, and in this scene they lean
20 Important & Rare Art 14 AUGUST 2018
effortlessly into their theatrical selves. They are statuesque, posing. Everyone in this scene is an actor. Fahey’s work has been defined by the exploration of women’s stories since the 1950s. We know it by the subtleties of looks, intimate moments, domestic barbs and affections she captures: details mined with love and attentiveness. In Luncheon on the Grass, the two young women are pouting, loosely mirroring each other’s pose. Fahey holds us closely in their world which is enhanced by a fluid treatment of perspective and colour: the two female protagonists are boldly defined, while the men around them appear to fade into nature’s muted background.

MICHAEL ILLINGWORTH
A Calvary for Jim Oil on canvas 41 x 31 Signed & dated 1970 Title inscribed verso A Calvary for Jim from Illingworth Puhoi and This painting to Jim Baxter Illingworth 70 $50,000 - 75,000
Provenance: Barry Lett Galleries Chunn Family Collection Meeting Baxter in 1958, Illingworth was filled with a sense of antagonism that flared into hostile argument. Perhaps it was religion that got them riled: Baxter had just become a Catholic. Despite his use of Christian iconography, Illingworth was an atheist, albeit one who believed that the role of the artist was to express the natural man: There is no god, but there should be an ideal, a purity to look to he wrote. Both painter and poet chafed against the restrictions of puritan New Zealand society and lampooned straitlaced conformity in their art. For Baxter, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ was a symbol of divine love for humanity. He laced his poem, Ballad of Calvary Street with irony: bloodred roses bloom on a trellis, ignored by a couple ‘clogged dumb by habit’, trapped in a loveless marriage in kiwi suburbia. A Calvary for Jim may be a portrait of the poet as a kind of seer, his brown eyes soulful, and his arm upraised like a prophet or preacher. Or it could be a depiction of the subject in Baxter’s poem, The Māori Jesus – minus his blue dungarees. The figure is rendered smooth and hairless, as if carved of wood, and the form is geometricized. Illingworth had a rationale for this: The shape of my heads I take from that which nature has drafted as the shape strongest for protection (seen in such as an egg). My bodies come from the pyramid. The head I make is often to act as a canopy against nuclear fallout. Time spent together in Dunedin, Baxter as Burns Fellow 1966-67 and Illingworth as the first Frances Hodgkins Fellow at the University of Otago in 1966,
24 Important & Rare Art 14 AUGUST 2018
cemented their relationship as fellow travellers who believed in the power of politically and socially-engaged art to change the world. Jim Baxter said you are the warrior of our tribe Mike, and I was not old enough for that responsibility and he embarrassed me. Therefore I knew that one day he would be right. Both men had married Māori women and then sought to live bohemian lives in Catholic settlements. In 1968, Baxter went up the Whanganui River to Jerusalem where the Sisters of Compassion had their convent. By August 1969 he had adopted the Māori version of his name, Hemi, and founded a commune. Illingworth retreated to Puhoi (the Māori translates as slow water) an hour north of Auckland where Baxter visited him at Easter in 1969. The riverside town had coincidentally been built by real Bohemians from Germany on 29 June 1863 – 63 years to the day before Baxter’s birth in Dunedin. On its outskirts stands the roadside shrine or calvary depicting Christ on the cross which provided this painting with its motif. Illingworth described the subject of the crucifixion as the deepest known symbol of western man … therefore the hardest for the artist to work with and succeed in creating a new work of art. Having tackled Adam and Eve early in his career (and been censured for obscenity), A Calvary for Jim was an important cross on the way in Illingworth’s own development as a painter. Linda Tyler

DON BINNEY’S SHAG & VEHICULAR FERRY - A MODERN MASTERPIECE 23
don binney
Shag and Vehicular Ferry Oil on canvas 187 x 110 Signed & dated 1969 $350,000 - 450,000
Provenance: Purchased from Barry Lett Galleries, 1969 Don Binney is often associated with paintings of soaring birds against defined horizons, framed by minimalistic beaches and coastlines. Birds as icons of our national past, present and future. Shag and Vehicular Ferry is wonderfully rare in that it can actually be attributed to a particular moment and place within New Zealand’s narrative. Looking out to Waitemata Harbour, the shag is shown perched on a wharf piling, hemmed in by the architecture of Devonport’s old vehicular ferry terminal. As viewers, we feel the momentary nature of this chosen resting place; there is something poised and fleeting in the bird’s elegant stance. Binney has painted this work with typical clarity and brightness, giving importance to both the creature and the surrounding infrastructure. From an architectural point of view, it is interesting to reflect on the painting’s place within the context of regionalist art in New Zealand in the
42 Important & Rare Art 14 AUGUST 2018
late 1960s. Shag and Vehicular Ferry has a remarkable stylistic affinity with the work of Binney’s contemporary Robin White. In the stillness of this work, it seems that Binney’s aim was not to rail against industrialisation or overtly juxtapose the elements of old and new; nature and man-made in this work. At first glance, and particularly through its linearity and freshness of composition, the ferry terminal appears relatively untouched by age. It is only on closer examination that the painting’s light reveals metal glinting with rust, and yes, there is something of an eerie emptiness to the structure. An atmosphere in direct contrast to the powerful, life-filled, life force of Binney’s magnificently portrayed black and white shag.
43
The Vehicular Ferry Terminal Devonport c. 1959
When the Auckland Harbour Bridge opened in 1959, a number of Devonport’s ferry services were cancelled. Describing the childhood memory of the final vehicular ferry crossing from this point, one former passenger reflected on how often the queue for the car ferry would stretch from Victoria Wharf along King Edward Parade past
44 Important & Rare Art 14 AUGUST 2018
the Masonic Hotel and almost to North Head. Cars could be stopped for up to fifteen minutes at a time before edging forward a few hundred metres. In 1969, exactly ten years after the service was stopped, the terminal remained in place like an empty memory, and this is what Binney looked to.

GORDON WALTERS
Untitled, 1979 Acrylic on paper 15 x 12.2 Signed & dated 1979 $25,000 - 35,000
Provenance: Private Collection, Auckland Purchased in 1980 Untitled, 1979 belongs to the high point of Gordon Walters’ practice, a period spanning 1965 to 1980. It reveals the synthesis of ideas which define the artist’s modernist style. The image is framed by the meticulous form of a koru which pushes dynamically back and forth against the picture plane, its cream colour a few shades off the crisp white most commonly associated with Walters’ koru paintings. Added to the fact that it does not have the frenetic energy of the artist’s geometrically repetitive paintings, Untitled, 1979 possesses a divergent calmness. In one respect, Walters’ treatment of the koru form relied on its de-contextualisation, which is something he insisted on. As he is often quoted as saying, it was a motif, used solely to demonstrate relations. At the same time, he did not treat the geometric koru with its spherical bulb and linear formation in a purely formal, or rational manner. It is the centrality of irrational ideas which give this work meaning – an idea explored by Luke Smythe in his essay Employing Reason Wisely: Gordon Walters and European Modernism. Walters invites the viewer to encounter the irrational, varying depths of a singular form and hard-edged linearity.
37
46 Important & Rare Art 14 AUGUST 2018
By the late 1970s, the koru had become selfreferential in Walters’ work. Its function as a modernist device, plucked from the lexicon of New Zealand’s bicultural identity, imbued it with a sense of national artistic meaning. To look at the single koru in this painting, therefore, is to understand that it exists not only in singular conversation with itself, but with its painted ancestors; one manifestation of many possibilities. In dedicating himself to this form, Walters emphasised the breadth of its potential expression. With the passing of decades and the addition of new voices and perspectives, our modernist identity is being constantly re-examined, and it is no surprise that Walters’ work is at the forefront of this conversation. The comprehensive New Vision survey currently at Auckland Art Gallery offers the opportunity to consider the evolution of Walters’ practice afresh. We are reminded of the value of these works: not as an extension of European abstraction, nor an appropriation of indigenous form and meaning, but as a unique and vital forging of New Zealand modernism.

PAT HANLY
Lion Rock, Piha Enamel on board 91 x 91 Signed, inscribed & dated 1974 $60,000 - 80,000
Provenance: Purchased by current owner from RKS Art, 1974
Lion Rock, Piha is an exuberant example of the artist’s 1970s period of abstraction. Here, Hanly’s visceral treatment of paint is concentrated on the impressive rock formation which lies between Piha and North Piha beaches, while the sky and coastline are relegated to minor roles. At the time of painting this work, a decade had passed since the artist’s return to New Zealand from Europe. This time of reintegration had been vital for Hanly as he looked to develop a language of abstraction appropriate to the New Zealand landscape. In his own words, he was trying to talk about the roughness of New Zealand, its newness and crispness and those physical things. Discovering the physicality of abstract expressionism was key to this. We meet it in the spirited energy of this work, which he built up through thick impastoed layers of colour and spattered paint. There is boldness of texture, with bright colours forced together in an elemental and clashing union.
50 Important & Rare Art 14 AUGUST 2018
Lion Rock is an icon of New Zealand scenery, and it is interesting to draw the lines between previous depictions of this landform and Hanly’s painting. Take, for example, the early 20th century work of the same name by Edward Fristrom. Here the form is clearly integrated with the land, linked in photographic likeness. Charles Tole’s Untitled (Landscape) of 1968 is a modern example which goes one step further in offering a cubist fragmentation of this scene. Considered alongside these artistic forebears, Hanly’s engagement with this volcanic landmass becomes even louder in its visual disruption. The work surpasses any act of reproductive observation to explore the essential qualities of the rock. Formed from a volcano which erupted 16 million years ago, Lion Rock’s Maori name is Te Piha, which translates as the bow wave and refers to the wave-like patterns of erosion on the rock face. This history of natural force and fiery explosion is captured in the joyous vibration of Hanly’s painting.

Felix Kelly is one of New Zealand’s most interesting expatriate artists. Born in Epsom in 1914 he claimed to be two years younger most of his adult life. Kelly studied briefly, and even seems to have taught drafting at Elam School of Fine Art. He was only 21 when he left New Zealand in 1935. He never returned. In London Kelly continued his New Zealand occupation of graphic design, working for Lintas, the advertising wing of Unilevers. He also freelanced as an illustrator and cartoonist, especially for Lilliput. His cartoons are not unlike those of the slightly younger Ronald Searle. After the war and the RAF, the focus of his graphic art shifted to book illustration, dustjacket design and contributions on interior decoration to such fashion magazines as Ideal Home and Harper’s Bazaar. In the 1950s and 60s he was acknowledged as one of England’s top designers for the theatre, working with the likes of Sir John Gielgud and Dame Sybil Thorndike. Kelly’s ambition had always been to succeed as a painter. Emerging in the context of Surrealism and British Neo-Romanticism, he exhibited alongside important British artists such as Lucian Freud, John Piper and Frances Hodgkins. He attracted the attention of the prominent critic and writer, Herbert Read. Kelly’s paintings are characterised by his interest in a world forgotten by progress, great houses falling into dilapidation, windblasted trees, abandoned locomotives often invested with an eerie watchfulness. Rapidly, Kelly assembled a client list resembling a page from Who’s Who or De Brett’s. In late career, his
52 Important & Rare Art 14 AUGUST 2018
knowledge of architecture led to involvement in house design, most notably his collaboration on the redesign of Highgrove for the Prince of Wales. His most celebrated project was, however, the mural cycle at Castle Howard associated with the filming of Brideshead Revisited in the 1980s. Kelly travelled a great deal. Paintings of Spain and Italy in the 1940s were followed by West African scenes in the 50s and ante-bellum houses in America’s Deep South in the 60s. Trips to Russia, Thailand, India and Egypt in the 70s and 80s each led to an exhibition of exotic paintings. In late career, Kelly would execute a small sketch characterised by loose brush-work, which would then be converted into a carefully executed bigscale painting. Both types of work appear for sale from time to time. Kelly completed paintings of Auckland subjects done decades after he had left home. Auckland’s West Coast beaches or Takapuna with Rangitoto beyond, or paddlesteamers on the Waitemata, were evoked with an increasing degree of fantasy well into the 1960s. A quirky humour pervades his work. Felix Kelly has to be one of New Zealand’s most individual artistic exports. A comprehensive exhibition of his earlier work, curated by Donald Bassett and mounted by the Hawke’s Bay Museum and Art Gallery, toured several New Zealand centres in 2008-9. A second edition of Donald Bassett’s book Fix; The Art and Life of Felix Kelly, was published in 2013.

THREE WORKS BY CHARLES F GOLDIE 1870 - 1947 Through his lifetime and legacy, Charles Frederick Goldie greatly influenced our nation’s artistic and cultural consciousness. Born in Auckland on 20 October 1870, one of eight children from the marriage of Maria Partington and David Goldie, he was named after his maternal grandfather, Charles Frederick Partington, builder of the landmark Auckland windmill. In 1883 the young Goldie was enrolled at Auckland Grammar School. His youthful artistic talents shone, and it was not long before he was winning prizes at the Auckland Society of Arts. On leaving school, Louis John Steele become his mentor and tutor. Two of the young artist’s still life paintings so impressed Sir George Grey, that he convinced David Goldie to allow his 22 year old son to attend the Académie Julian in Paris. Goldie spent over four years at the Académie Julian tutored by leading lights of the Paris Salon such as William-Adolphe Bouguereau. In 1898, fully informed in the French academic style, the artist returned to New Zealand and began collaborating with his former tutor Louis John Steele. The two worked on a number of paintings including The Arrival of the Maoris in New Zealand, a large scale history painting after Gericault’s Raft of the Medusa. Before long, however, the relationship deteriorated likely caused by tensions around the former student’s growing success. Goldie went on to open his own studio and establish himself as a successful portraitist of Māori. A visit to Rotorua in 1901 was the first of several field trips during which the artist was introduced to local Maori and persuaded them to sit for portraits. Goldie’s works from this point forward strongly reflect the European tradition in which he was trained, and possess a stunning power and visual clarity. On the one hand, his remarkable dedication to realism belies an ethnographic interest. At the same time, he was also striving to capture the mana of his sitters who included

chiefs, tohunga and kaumātua. Goldie formed long-standing relationships with several Maori he met and painted around this period, including Wiremu Patara Te Tuhi and Te Aho-o-te-rangi Wharepu (Ngati Mahuta), Ina te Papatahi (Nga Puhi), and Wharekauri Tahuna (Ngati Manawa). Over the next two decades, Goldie gained national and international acclaim and steady demand formed a strong market for his portraits, a number of which would later be exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London and the Paris Salon throughout the 1930s. In 1920 the artist moved to Sydney, where despite original plans to continue on to Paris, he was married, at age fifty to thirty five year old Olive Cooper. Marriage in Sydney circumvented Goldie family disapproval of the relationship between Auckland’s famous artist and the milliner from Karangahape Road. After two years in Sydney, apparently disillusioned with his work at this time and suffering from health problems Charles and Olive returned to New Zealand. Goldie’s return to Auckland in 1924, ultimately represented a moment of artistic reckoning. Goldie received encouragement to resume painting from Governor General Lord Bledisloe. Devoting himself once again to his work, he began to apply a more liberal, impressionistic approach to the realisation of his portraits and repainted a number of his former subjects. Works from this later period are distinguished by their soft luminescence, offering a rhythmic departure and disconnection from the rigours of formalism to which he had so strictly adhered in the past. Goldie died in Auckland in 1947, his exquisite, spiritually-charged, often unsettling and ever powerful portraits of Maori having made an unsurpassed contribution to the history of art in New Zealand.

Ahinata Te Rangituatini, also known as Kapi Kapi, of Rotorua (c.1800 -1902) was one of Goldie's favourite sitters and he painted her at least twenty two times. She was an Arawa Chieftainess, a member of the Tuhourangi tribe living at Whakarewarewa. The sister of the Arawa chief Haerehuka, Kapi Kapi survived the 1886 Tarawera eruption and witnessed the assault of Pukeroa Pa at Ohinemutu. On her shoulders were scars of wounds self-inflicted with pieces of obsidian as a sign of mourning. According to the historian and friend of Goldie, James Cowan, Kapi Kapi worked until the end of her long life, evidence, in his opinion, that the 'old-time Maori' were 'truly a Spartan race'. Kapi Kapi was renowned for her moko, which Goldie depicted in fine detail.

Heeni Hirini and Child [previously known as Ana Rupene) Oil on canvas 84.5 x 69 Signed & dated 1882 Dunedin Public Art Gallery label affixed verso $150,000 - 200,000 Provenance: Ex V E Donald Collection Exhibited: Face Value, Dunedin Public Art Gallery 1975 - Original exhibiton label affixed verso
Heeni Hirini, formerly Ana Rupene, was from Manaia, situated south of Coromandel township and located on the peninsula north of Thames. Her tribal affiliations were Ngati Maru, with links to Tainui in the Waikato. The child on her back is remembered by Hirini’s descendants to have lived to his late teens and possessed an ability to recite whakapapa. Hirini is buried at Parakau, Manaia, in an unmarked grave in the Anglican churchyard. Lindauer painted almost identical versions of the painting, possibly creating up to thirty images of the subject, some of which he shipped to Prague, New York and London. The painting of Heeni Hirini was awarded a gold medal by an international jurors committee; it was given to Henry Partridge, rather than to the artist. The media attention both abroad and at home intensified admiration for the portrait, spurring Lindauer to paint it repeatedly.
60 Important & Rare Art 14 AUGUST 2018
The basis for Lindauer’s portraits of Heeni Hirini was a cabinet photograph by the Foy Brothers (James Foy, 1844-90, and Joseph Foy, c. 18471923), probably taken at their Thames studio. A consistent motif in all versions of this subject is the wisp of hair that extends from her crown. Hirini’s strong jawline is emphasised by her moko kauae and the light falling on her high cheekbones suggest a breaking smile. The same treatment is given to the child, with light shaping the scalp, nose and cheeks to impressive effect. The woven garment wrapped around the child was a conventional Maori way for mothers to carry their children securely.

HAROLD BULLOCK WEBSTER
An Illustrated Diary of Harold Bullock Webster, 1883 Watercolour & ink, 150 pages 19 x 12 Signed on p. 149 $5,000 - 8,000
Harold Bullock Webster (1855 –1942) was a selftaught painter who worked in Canada, United Kingdom and New Zealand.
34
Webster was born in England and emigrated to Canada in his teens. He began an apprenticeship as a clerk for the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1874. He made many business trips to the Company’s posts in the western part of Canada, such as northern Alberta and British Columbia. By 1878 he managed the trading post at Fort Connelly on Bear Lake in northern British Columbia. In 1880 he returned to Britain then emigrated to New Zealand where he worked as a farmer’s agent. On behalf of his employer, Thomas Russell, he travelled to Waikato, the Bay of Plenty, East Coast and Wanganui. At the age of 83, he published in 1938 his Memories of Sport and Travel Fifty Years Ago: From the Hudson’s Bay Company to New Zealand.
34
He made many sketches during his lifetime, although he lacked formal training as an artist. While working at the Hudson’s Bay Company from 1874 to 1880, he created an album of approximately 93 colour sketches that portrayed social life, activities, customs, and dress in the Company’s posts, particularly near Stuart Lake and Fort McLeod. Several of his sketches show First Nations and Métis people, who participated in the Canadian fur trade. Some sketches were reproduced in The Graphic.

White Cliffs and the Rangitikei River Oil on board 61 x 78 Signed $38,000 - 48,000 Provenance: International Art Centre 1984 Private collection, Perth Years ago I went far up the Rangitikei beyond Taihape to visit my friend David Russell, whose farm at that time was as far as you could drive up the river into the bush. The river is so deep between high papa cliffs that down at the bottom where the river flows there is only a sort of twilight, even on a sunny day. Once I crossed the gorge at a wider place in the bush in a tray slung on a logger’s wire rope, and we sat in mid-air watching a large trout feed in the river below where a patch of sun broke through the over-hanging bush. From that time on I have painted the river up and down its length, and always there has been delight in painting those lovely cliffs that are that most paintable of all colours - white.

DICK FRIZZELL
Red Haring I Oil on canvas 160 x 160 Signed & dated 6/2008 Inscribed verso & Gow Langsford Gallery label affixed verso $45,000 - 65,000
Illustrated: p. 260 Dick Frizzell - The Painter Live Clean & Let Your Works be Seen Godwit 2009
Frizzell’s Red Haring I is a gleeful example of pop art at its best. With cartoon eyes twinkling and thick red striations indicating vigorous movement, the tiki, with a maniacal smile, practically bursts from the canvas with enthusiasm. Following on from the infamous Tiki works and forming an integral part of the Red Haring series, this painting unites many of the characteristics considered quintessentially Frizzellian. Frizzell has returned to this series periodically since his 1992 Gow Langsford Tiki exhibition. Renowned for the controversy they aroused during their first showing, the works have long provided the artist a foundation from which to tackle a range of artistic influences and stylistic challenges. From Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque to Alexander Archipenko, Frizzell’s Tiki works most commonly reflect the style of the twentieth century’s cubists. However, in Red Haring I the artist selects a rather different master to mimic, drawing, in both style and title, from the work of pop artist Keith Haring. Haring, active in New York during the 1980s, employed canvas, wood, vinyl and inner city subway tunnels with equal pleasure in his work. He achieved global recognition for his cartoon and animation-style figures characterised by bright colours, bold delineation and vivacious characters.
70 Important & Rare Art 14 AUGUST 2018
It is easy to see how Haring’s aesthetic could appeal to Frizzell who has aligned himself with pop culture for the majority of his career, bringing much-loved personalities from his time in the advertising industry into his paintings and editions with relish. Frizzell has also often utilised cartoons and comic books as a source of inspiration, as seen in both his long-running Phantom series and in the From Mickey to Tiki edition. Like Frizzell, Haring saw no need to differentiate between commercial art and fine art, enthusiastically extracting inspiration from each. In typical Frizzell style, this work’s apparent simplicity in fact relies upon a carefully constructed composition. The tiki’s head, mouth, nose and eyes are painted with the same rounded smoothness, the shapes echoing and bouncing off one another, enhancing the work’s lively, playful impression with every curve. Frizzell replicates the bright acid yellow and vermillion used by Haring in some of his most iconic works. Conveying jubilation and energy, such colours are also important tools of the advertising trade through which an everyday commodity can be given renewed appeal and, ideally, fill consumers with the irresistible desire to buy now. This multifaceted work therefore not only recalls pop and graphic art but also becomes a wry caricature of the way in which the tiki, once principally a sacred symbol for Maori, has in many ways become a symbol of commercial tourism in New Zealand.

Sir Peter Siddell (1935 - 2011) has long been recognized as one of New Zealand's leading realist artists. Auckland born Siddell was educated at Mount Albert Grammar School and the Auckland College of Education. He began painting professionally in 1972. In 1990 Siddell was made a Companion of the Queen's Service Order and was knighted in 2008, becoming the second only New Zealand artist to receive this honour.
72 Important & Rare Art 14 AUGUST 2018
Siddell's realist paintings are identified mainly with depictions of the environs of Auckland. While his works appear to be records of actual places, his paintings have a subjective component, and might be better described as imagined realism rather than truly realistic. The cityscapes and townscapes in Siddell's paintings are rendered empty, sometimes with the suggestion of events occurring outside the picture area. In this sense, his work may be compared to the metaphysical works of Giorgio de Chirico. In 1978 Siddell won the Air New Zealand Travel Award and the Benson & Hedges Supplementary Art Award.

Boats and harbours were a constant feature of Rudolf Gopas’s work, perhaps because the coastal landscapes of Kaikoura and Lyttelton Harbour were not unlike the Baltic coast and its fishing fleets, which he had known in his homeland. Gopas trained in Lithuania where he was influenced by German expressionism, a style that exaggerated and distorted line and colour to create an expressive effect. Gopas’s interest in abstraction is also evident in this work.
80 Important & Rare Art 14 AUGUST 2018
Born in Lithuania, from 1945–49 Gopas and his wife, Natasha, lived in a refugee camp in Ehrwald, Austria, before coming to New Zealand. As well as painting, Gopas worked as a photo processor in Dunedin and Christchurch, where he began exhibiting with The Group. From 1959–77 he lectured in painting at the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts, exerting a considerable influence on a generation of painters.

HISTORIC WATERCOLOURS FROM THE LATE ARTHUR THOMAS PYCROFT LOTS 66 - 70 Arthur Pycroft (1875 -1971) was an early naturalist, scholar, historian and conservationist. He attended the Church of England Grammar School, Parnell where his father was headmaster from 1883 to 1886. During this time the family lived in the headmaster’s residence, now Kinder House. Young Pycroft also attended Auckland Grammar School. In 1896 he joined the Auckland Institute, a society established to encourage the study of literature and science along with the establishment of a museum and library. A member of the Institute for over 75 years, Pycroft became President in 1935. Throughout his professional life, Pycroft was well respected, collaborating with the colony’s leading scientists and naturalists of the day. He enthusiastically corresponded with Sir Walter Buller regarding Buller’s rediscovery of the Little Black Shag and other species later introduced in Buller’s 1905 supplement. The compilation of information of native wildlife had seen him spend six weeks on the Hen and Chicken Islands during the summer of 1903-04. In 1928 he explored Little Barrier Island, visiting the Kermadecs with Guthrie Smith in 1929 and in 1932 travelled on an expedition to Melanesia. Arthur Pycroft was given recognition for his long service to ornithology when Sir Robert Falla named a newly discovered species of petrel (Pterodroma pycrofti) after him. It was during the expedition he had organised to Hen Island that the birds had been discovered.

A member of the Moa Searching Committee, Pycroft sought evidence that Moas had been hunted by the Polynesian invaders. This quest took him from Doubtless Bay to the limestone caves of the King Country and Waikaremoana where he was able to prove that a large pelican had once lived in New Zealand. Another great interest of his lay in Auckland and Far North regions whose history and development he studied closely for more than eight decades, an enthusiasm reflected in the rarities in his collection. All in all, Pycroft was a fascinating character, a man of intellect whose wide and varied interests embraced the world of natural history and art.

Behind the Bridge of the Nose VII Pastel on paper 109 x 71.5 Signed, inscribed & dated 10/10/77 $2,500 - 3,500
Illustrated: p. 124 New Zealand Art and Modern Perspective, Elva Bett Reed Methuen, 1986 I Remember references the artist’s mother in which Alvin stated at the time: A flower painting done for my mother who is in hospital and has been there for the last five years. She can no longer hear, see or speak Alvin Pankhurst revives nostelgia yet paints unsentimental reminders of times past. His old master paintings give a new meaning to technical skill in this era of speed. His paintings of the over-elaborate details of Victoriana are modern day vanitas, for there is the same pronkstilleven (a Dutch term meaning ostentatious display) of still lifes in which objects were used to symbolise death and the transience and the vanity of earthly achievements and pleasures. When presented with a Pankhurst vanitas we read it in much the same way as the Dutch burghers read their Bibles, searching for confirmation of forgiveness, and we read into the Pankhurst painting what is not there. It becomes a visual documentation of objects half-remembered in a stultifying memory sequence - a surreal/unreal consciousness of the passing of time.
