The Last Antipodean Expressionist Anne Hall, like Joy Hester, had the misfortune to be married to one of the leading Figurative Expressionists in the history of Australian Art. Hall married John Perceval in 1972 and Hester, Albert Tucker in 1941. Like Hester, Hall was swept up in the steamy John and Sunday Reed circle out at Heide. Arthur Boyd and Sidney Nolan cast longer shadows than Perceval who was the youngest and died in 2000. Nolan departed in 1992 and Boyd in 1999. Which makes Anne Hall the last surviving member of this heroic chapter of Australian art.

Hall studied at RMIT, and had met Perceval in 1967. Right from the start her work showed a deep emotional intensity, particularly in her drawings. While not a signatory to the Antipodean Manifesto, like Boyd and Perceval in 1959, Hall was a next generation Figurative Expressionist, and what one could call an “Antipodean” by style and marriage. She began exhibiting with the South Yarra Gallery in 1968 and into the 1970s. Her work was reviewed favorably during this period by the Herald Art Critic Alan McCulloch who praised her work as “highly imaginative, strong in observation of character and understanding of distortion”. And it was Patrick McCaughey of The Age who described her as an heir to the Antipodean Movement.

Urgency of expression and highly developed drawing skills are hallmarks of Hall’s very personal style. Gestural workings, often-distorted facial features running off into a single line characterize much of her drawn oeuvre. Staring eyes sometimes veiled by a pentimenti of charcoal dust are watching us. Sinuous fingers seemingly searching for the warmth of touch reach out for something unanswered. ​33 ANNE HALL (BORN 1945) John Perceval with Owl 1981 oil on canvas, 126.5 x 98 cm $3,000-5,000

As the dust settles on the 20th century there is greater transparency. It seems that the relationship between Hall and Perceval was a collaborative one as well as a caring one. Perceval’s biographer, Traudi Allen, originally noticed this when writing about Perceval’s masterpiece Veronica and the Conspirators, based on the Dutch master Heironymous Bosch’s Christ Carrying the Cross. Allen writes that Perceval had Hall copy the right hand corner of the Bosch which he then improvised around.

When comparing the work of both during their ten-year marriage it becomes clear there are many stylistic similarities, as there was between Tucker and Hester.

Their relationship ended in divorce in 1981 following Perceval’s admission into Larundel Psychiatric Hospital with alcoholism and schizophrenia in 1977.

After showing great promise during the pre-Perceval years of her career, moving in with Perceval, at the very, least cost Hall much independence as an artist. It is in the post-Perceval period that signs of a different artist begin to emerge.

Yet there hasn’t been enough work around to really make an informed opinion.

Hence there is great excitement in the art trade over Leonard Joel’s securing of over two hundred works, to be auctioned on Thursday 3rd March.

There are over thirty-five paintings and the rest are works on paper. The earliest is dated 1965. Most cover the tumultuous years with Perceval, and there are a few from the post-Perceval period. Highlights would include two portraits of Perceval. One in a patterned sweater dated 1976 a year before Larundel . The other is dated 1981 the year of their divorce. The eyes in the first are open to the world, in the second they are downcast. Blank. Desolate. Hall’s paint handling in both is passionate, descriptive, deliberate, and the bitterness that resides in the corners of Perceval’s mouth is not expressionist license, but how it was. Both these works would sit well beside other portraits of Perceval painted in the same period : Tucker also painted Perceval in 1976. It’s a brutal painting with bulging blood-shot eyes and iron bark for hair. And Clifton Pugh was a runner up in the Archibald Prize in 1985 with a rather saccharine portrayal.

​77 ANNE HALL (BORN 1945) Clawed Hands 1966 pastel on paper, 76 x 56 cm (sheet size) $800-1,000​

Both miss the man. Whereas Hall, no doubt because of daily contact cuts right through appearances to Perceval’s very soul.

Following the success of the Colin Lanceley Estate auction in Sydney late last year, we are excited to bring art as a dedicated category to our Sydney auctions in 2016. Our March catalogue has a wonderfully diverse range of offerings, but there is a particularly strong selection of modern and contemporary Australian and Aboriginal art. From major works such as John Firth-Smith’s beautifully expressive Moonbeam (lot 265) to graphics like Lloyd Rees’ delightful Wind on the Harbour (lot 287), I believe we have something to suit every collector. We look forward to greeting our clients at the viewing.

315 A VERY RARE INDOPORTUGUESE ROSEWOOD AND EBONY COLLECTORS CABINET ON STAND, 17TH/18TH CENTURY $4,000-6,000

Highlights in history of Brooches Featuring in our jewellery section for the Sydney March sale is an impressive array of brooches.

Once considered purposeful for their functionality in holding garments in place, the brooch has evolved to become a decorative piece of jewellery, used to highlight and stylise ones outfit and portray an element of status.

Over the centuries we have seen a diverse range of pieces created by artisans, each in keeping with the style of the period. Our cover lot, the Edwardian pearl and diamond brooch is a fine example of jewellery from the early 1900’s. With detailed scrolling motifs, used to accentuate the natural pearls and highlight the diamonds. The period was renowned for refocusing on delicate 131 AN EDWARDIAN DIAMOND AND NATURAL PEARL BROOCH/PENDANT WITH EARRINGS AND A PEARL NECKLACE $26,000-36,000

and sophisticated designs.

The post war period incorporated geometric stylings from the previous Art Deco era, while focusing on fun and bright colour pallets together with funky designs. Pulling back on the intricacies of previous eras, creations became more minimalist and abstract with ideas for the post war modern woman. Using and revisiting more unknown gemstones such a chrysoberyl, lapis lazuli and rock crystal.

Finally, the ever popular floral motif is a classic style of brooch. Formed using various gems carved, polished and faceted to create stunning detail, dimensions and textures to an otherwise simple image.

24 A CHRYSOPRASE AND DIAMOND BROOCH $1,000-1,200

187 A PEARL BROOCH $800-1,000

The brooch is a fantastic way to reinvent a family heirloom, with a modern twist. This beautiful collection of brooches are some of the many fine items to be offered in our upcoming auction in Sydney.

An Important Single-Owner Collection The exotic shop front of 881 High Street, Armadale, has long been known as a window into the playground of the enigmatic enfant terrible of the Australian antiques industry, Graham Geddes.

For those who only know him by name, Graham is certainly more formidable than his reputation by measures of character and knowledge. A wellknown perfectionist, academic and patron of the arts, his collection reflects his personality by his allegiance to history and to mastered trades lost over the past centuries.

As the monumental task of consolidating the four decade enterprise continues, Leonard Joel are delighted to be granted access once more to the ‘inner sanctum’ of Australia’s premiere antiques dealership and to offer our clients the opportunity to purchase a treasure from this encyclopedic collection of styles, periods and techniques, in an auction to be held at the premises on Sunday 20th March 2016.

25 AN EARLY 19TH CENTURY ITALIAN PIER MIRROR $6,000 - 8,000

Almost exactly a year from the first offering, Graham has since spent some months on a grand tour of Europe, traversing many antique shops, searching for items of high calibre to add to his coveted collection. Housed over two levels, this eclectic, well-curated collection showcases a diverse offering of well-travelled furnishings and objects, which is sure to appeal to a broad spectrum of buyers, from the interior decorator to

the niche collector here and abroad.

A significant highlight of the collection and one of the owner’s favourite pieces is a rare ancient Egyptian bronze figure of Sekhmet. The 2,500 year old relic was acquired three decades ago at Sotheby’s London showrooms and has been cherished ever since .The museum quality bronze deity, recently on loan to the National Gallery of Victoria, is a perfect representation of the Graham Geddes collection as it is sure to attract historians and collectors alike.

leonardjoel.com.au

A Magnificent Parure This exquisite handcrafted platinum mounted set, with perfectly matched lively Colombian emeralds of vivid gooseberry bluish-green colour are unmistakably from the Colombia’s Chivor mine.

The set is in immaculate condition with all gems assessed as being natural and of extremely high quality. There are four emeralds totalling 15.42cts, all with accompanying GRS laboratory Certificates, and seventy-five diamonds totalling approximately 16.0cts.

It is extremely rare to have a perfectly matched set like this due to the difficulty in matching different crystals that have different levels of colour and purity. When this elegant set was created, the four gems were cut from the same raw emerald crystal to ensure the stones match perfectly. Finding a crystal large enough and cutting it this way has created something of breathtaking quality. As supply diminishes at Colombian mines such as Chivor, where these emeralds were discovered, the rarity of this set will only increase.

200 A MAGNIFICENT COLOMBIAN EMERALD AND DIAMOND PARURE The handcrafted suite comprising a pendant, earrings and ring, each piece centrally set with an octagonal step cut emerald, the four totaling 15.42cts, surrounded by round, pear and marquise cut diamonds totalling 16.0cts, accompanied with three original GRS laboratory reports for the emeralds, all mounted in platinum, ring size L. $240,000 - 320,000

Shifting Trends This April Modern Design focuses on the innovation and moving trends of the 1970s and 80s. Unlike previous era’s of wooden square furniture, cut and shaped with tools and hand crafted, the 70s and 80s delved into the imagination with materials such as foam, plastics, leather, liquids and chrome to generate more organic shapes. It was a time when ideas could be interpreted into creations; innovating new possibilities about space and the future of furniture design.

Designers of these periods such as Pierre Cardin, Joe Colombo and Ettore Sottsass may have created furniture that at the time made people uncomfortable, however in time it became the furniture of the future. Now some 30 years later these designs are considered amazing and more collectable than ever. These daring aesthetics and entertaining visions, bold colours, shapes and materials are exactly what people want today to fill their spaces with.

Quality furniture designs of the past will always have relevance in our future and it is that particular functionality and beauty that forever transcends time and taste. So this April I invite you to enjoy the diversity and exciting shift in trends evolving within this exciting category.

Coast and Country: The Hardwick Family Collection of Art and Antiques Against an idyllic setting of sunshine and blue skies, The Hardwick Family Collection of Art and Antiques was dispersed within the lush surrounds of the Hardwick’s Shoreham property, in an atmosphere of shared enjoyment in the dispersal of a muchloved collection to a new generation of art lovers.

Conducted in a more traditional style, the sale combined elements of a fine art auction with those of an old fashioned country clearing sale, and the offering was received with a warmth befitting of a family so well-liked in the district.

Stand-out results in the auction included the much admired work by Charles Wheeler, The Stockman (lot 160), a favourite painting of the late Dowell Hardwick, which realised $3,600 (IBP).

Among

the many works depicting local landmarks in the

CHARLES WHEELER, (1881-1977) THE STOCKMAN SOLD FOR $3,600 IBP

Shoreham area, the top price went to a work by Raymond Wallis, Coastal Scene (lot 24), which went to a keen art collector based in the local area.

Looking further afar, Will Rowell’s early depiction of Sydney Harbour Bridge from Woolloomooloo (lot 135) found a buyer at $1,350 (IBP).

Not all of the top prices were for art works, though, with many of the farming related items bringing strong prices, and also providing managing director, John Albrecht, with a career-first sale of a red tractor!

A Canberra Single Owner Collection with Heart and Local History Generous, philanthropic, artistic and a real character and personality are just a few of the regularly repeated adorations for John Gale relayed at our recent auction at his Canberra pastoral homestead ‘Huntly’. The admiration for John Gale translated into competitive bidding amongst those who know him and other private collectors after the rare and unusual. Many who worked on or visited the property were delighted to be given the opportunity to take home a memento and the local bidding was strong as people were determined to ward off international bids, resulting in most of the items remaining in Australia.

The highlights of furniture and decorative arts were; lot 1, An Impressive and Large Victorian Mahogany Extension Dining Table - Estimate: $2,500-3,500 Sold for $8,000, lot 2, A Good Set of Eight Regency Mahogany Dining Chairs Estimate: $1,500-2,500 - Sold for $4,200, lot 55, Boxed Sterling Silver Canteen of Cutlery - Estimate: $3,000-5,000 - Sold for $13,000, lot 124, An Extensive Royal Worcester Westminster Eggshell Blue Dinner Service - Estimate: $2,0003,000 - Sold for $5,000, lot 58, Fine Pair of George II Sterling Silver Sauce

A GOOD SET OF EIGHT REGENCY MAHOGANY DINING CHAIRS SOLD FOR $5,124 IBP

Boats - Estimate: $700-1,000 - Sold for $2,800, the results certainly proving there is still a strong market for fine dining collectables and enhancers. Also performing exceptionally well and finding homes here in Australia were lot 137, A Fine 19th Century Cary Family Celestial Floor Globe - Estimate: $4,000-6,000 - Sold for $20,000 and lot 265, A Rare G.J Lines Brothers Sportsboy Rocking Horse on Stand - Estimate: $1,000-2,000 - Sold for $3,800.

The collection also had a small but interesting art element which performed strongly. An eclectic mix of Australian and international paintings and works on paper, the art was popular during the viewing and inspired robust bidding. Most of the pieces found new Australian homes, although a lucky few of the international bidders managed to secure their sought after lots. The most hotly contested pieces included lot 14, Tristram James Ellis (British, 1844-1922), Anatolic Hissar 1882, watercolour on paper, 27 x 57cm - Estimate: $700-1,000 - Sold for $2,400, lot 15A, Alan Stubbs (1898-1976), The Mill, watercolour on paper, 27 x 38cm - Estimate: $200300 -Sold for $600, lot 19, Ebenezer Wake Cook (1844-1926), Venice 1899,

AN EXTENSIVE WEDGEWOOD ‘WESTMINSTER’ EGGSHELL BLUE DINNER SERVICE SOLD FOR $6,100 IBP

Many who attended the auction commented that the property was one of the most outstanding sale settings they had ever attended. Patrons made a day of it by meandering through the famed grounds whilst the auction was in progress. The family were delighted with the results and Leonard Joel looks forward to conducting many more such events. Please contact our specialists for a complimentary auction appraisal.
