AUTUMN CATALOGUE 2010 Welcome to our first Fine Art Catalogue for 2010. Favoured with instructions from a long term Auckland collector we are pleased to include some outstanding paintings in this catalogue. Leading New Zealand artists represented in this catalogue include John Weeks, Sir Tosswill Woollaston, Garth Tapper and early artists A.E. Aldis, William Binzer, C.H. Howarth, Minnie F. White and others. Contemporary artists such as Nigel Brown, Michael Smither, Bill Hammond, Eion Stevens, Fatu Feu’u, Philippa Blair, John Walsh and emerging artists such as Nick Wall and Alexander Bartleet are also included in this catalogue. The Early works include paintings of New Zealands active Volcanoes, two of the Pink & White Terraces prior to their eruption and one of an active geyser on White Island. Period works of these areas are surprisingly rare considering they were considered wonders of the world in the nineteenth century. A superb painting by A.E. Aldis of a view of the harbour from Titirangi is also included in the section of colonial paintings. Several of these early works still retain their original frames.
Unsigned, Geyser at White Island, Oil on board, c 1890
One of particular note is the frame of the William Binzer which is notable for the carved scallop patterned border.

An outstanding John Walsh oil painting is also included in the catalogue along with new works by Justin Summerton, Mark Wooller, Philippa Blair and Nigel Brown. A feature of this catalogue is the return of Nick Wall with two superb major paintings. Nick Wall’s studio is now complete and these paintings are two of the first works to be completed from his new abode and studio.
