INTERNATIONAL ART CENTRE – IMPORTANT & RARE ART

Viewing daily from Tuesday 18 July.

Live Auction: 6pm Tuesday 25 July.

International Art Centre’s July auction includes an extraordinary offering of Contemporary and Historical works of National Interest.

One of the sale highlights includes one of the rarest historical works ever seen at auction: William Hodges' A Māori before a waterfall in Dusky Bay 1777. The Captain Cook-appointed artist painted several versions; the one being sold is the last of the versions being held in private hands and is expected to fetch between $800,000 - $1,200,000.

A major work by Charles F. Goldie is also a feature of the sale. The work depicting Pipi Haerehuka, an Arawa Chieftainess, originally purchased at the Royal Academy in London, is expected to sell between $1million and $1.5million.

Gretchen Albrecht’s large scale 1994 work titled N G Darkening will be offered alongside another work Golden Shadow, 1973, by this much celebrated New Zealand artist. A major work by Robert Ellis, Organisation of the City, owned by the same collector who purchased it in 1965, will be on offer along with a significant work by Karl Maughan titled Albert Park, also held in the same collection since it was painted.

Another highlight includes Don Binny’s Baptism After Piero: An Adaptation, 2003 – expected to fetch around $350,000 - $450,000, and a superb work by Stichbury which featured in last month’s issue of Ponsonby News. The work titled Edward Krebs carries an estimate of $75,000 - $95,000.

With so many amazing highlights and around 100 works of art, International Art Centre’s IMPORTANT & RARE ART auction being held on 25 July will likely be one of the best offerings to the market this year. Viewing commences on 18
