A Last Look In this feature, we revisit a handful of beautiful and extraordinary pieces that have passed through our doors since the last issue...
ROBERT HUNTER (1947-2014) Untitled No. 3 2001 synthetic polymer paint on plywood 122 x 244cm Sold for $50,000 Centum Auction, June
Our June Centum Auction delivered fantastic results and three new auction records, including for Robert Hunter when 'Untitled No. 3 2001' sold for $50,000 IBP against an estimate of $20,000-25,000. Robert Hunter is one of Australia's greatest minimalists and modernists. His white geometric paintings are part of his own unique visual language, one that has become pivotal in the dialogue of contemporary Australian abstract art. We are thrilled to be the auction house to set a new record price for his work in the public domain.
ATTRIBUTED TO MIKHAIL LARIONOV (Russian, 1881-1964) A Still Life of Flowers in a Jug and a Pear c.1940 oil on canvas 27cm x 35cm Sold for $62,500 A Connoisseur's Collection, East Melbourne, July
We were thrilled to announce a White Glove result for A Connoisseur's Collection, with 100% of pieces sold. The auction presented the contents of the beautiful three-level Victorian town house at 16 Berry Street, East Melbourne to discerning collectors eager to acquire the unique art, objets d’art, and fine furniture collected over a lifetime.
