MICHAEL DELL Cluster 6, 2004 Acrylic on linen 40 x 90 Signed & dated 2004 $5,000 - 7,000
Provenance: Exhibited at McPherson Gallery, 2004
In one room is Michael Dell painting still-lifes on linen with delicate precision. His works are no more than a bottle and a couple of boxes. They are arranged with the severe formality of geometric abstraction and their pale colouring emphasises their sculptural quality. The arrangement is scrupulous, with tiny details of hinges on the boxes and little press-stud catches. Delicate, precise, poised - they exactly hit a target at a limited range.

100 JANE EVANS Mr Waldo From Under Milkwood Series Acrylic on board 75 x 60 Inscribed $5,000 - 7,000 Mr Waldo – Rabbit catcher, barber, herbalist, cat doctor, quack, dreams of his mother and his many unhappy, failed marriages. He is a notorious alcoholic and general troublemaker and is involved in an affair with Polly Garter. The seventeen snoring gentle stone of Mr Waldo. ‘Hush, love, hush. I’m widower Waldo now. Under Milk Wood is a 1954 radio drama by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, commissioned by the BBC and later adapted for the stage. It is also available as a book. Jane Evans, created twenty five characterisations from the Thomas prose and drawing on her own recollection of types she had observed. The relevant character descriptions extracted from the porse poem were inscribed on the paintings themselves which, as they accumulated, called into existence the people of Milkwood. They satisfied the artist’s interest in the theatrical, unconventional and colourful manifestations of apparently ordinary lives.

Under Milkwood was a stunning series. Theatrical in their impact, these forceful, vigorous paintings interpreted Thomas’s glorious array of slightly crazed villages in sympathetic, vivid images. Jane Evans, John Coley, Hazard Press, 1997

Collectable & Affordable Art
Single Owner Auctions
The buzz generated by our regular Collectable Art auctions reflects the popularity of this sale: an event at which seasoned connoisseurs and budding collectors alike converge to appreciate one of the most eclectic and diverse offerings available to the market. Because this auction specifically caters to the more affordable end of the market - generally presenting works valued at $5,000 and less, this is an exciting opportunity to unearth some real treasures. Collectable Art auctions offer a number lower-priced works from highly-sought after artists in print and edition form, as well as quality works from artists whose presence on the secondary market is just beginning to crystallise.
From time to time, the secondary market is fortunate enough to be exposed to one of those rare collections which transcends the value of its individual works of art, and stands to represent something iconic in its entirety. Our team is well-versed in the process of offering single-owner collections for sale, and take pride in the process of curating a single-owner sale when the opportunity arises. We offer a targeted marketing campaign and maximise the use of both electronic and print-based collateral to effectively showcase such collections to maximum effect. The strong networks we have established locally and internationally are reflected in some of the private collections which have been entrusted to us in recent years, namely: the sale of the John Leech Collection, the Barry Pilcher Collection of Contemporary Art, A selection of works from the Fletcher Trust Collection and the Sally Hunt Collection
