& RARE ART

28 11 23

Following the success of our July Important & Rare Art auction, which was the highest grossing sale so far this year, International Art Centre invites entries for our final live auction of the year.

Early entries include two significant Colin McCahon paintings. Illustrated above, ‘Five (Russell Finnemore & Colin McCahon)’ appears on the market after it was last seen at the 1965 The Group Show in Christchurch. This painting and another by the artist are early highlights of our forthcoming sale.

The auction also includes significant works by Charles F Goldie, Rita Angus, Allen Maddox, Michael Smither, Ray Ching, John Walsh, Tony Fomison and Michael Hight.

An international highlight includes a work by Dora Maar (1907 - 1997) with impeccable provenance. Maar was a painter, poet and romantic partner of Pablo Picasso.

One of Australia’s foremost modern artists, George Johnson pioneered abstraction in the country in the 1950s with geometric works that possess a forceful clarity.

Born in New Zealand, Johnson was a protégé of Theo Schoon, who introduced him to international trends in art such as Bauhaus, De Stijl, Constructivism, and Suprematism.

The artist moved to Melbourne in 1951, and his early paintings reflect the post-war scarcity. Inexpensive and available materials like burlap, house paint, and Masonite board lend these works their characteristically textured surfaces.

After traveling to Peru in 1972, Johnson spent much of the next decade producing a series known as “The Brown” or “Peruvian Paintings.” Works such as Untitled (1975) employ bold, organic lines over earthy tones.

Johnson’s work has been exhibited widely in Australia and New Zealand and is in important national collections, including the National Gallery of Australia and the National Gallery of Victoria.

ART AT HOME ONLINE only Auctions

A quick, easy and reliable solution to affordable consignments. During the 2020 nationwide lockdowns we stayed connected to our clients, keeping them close to our art. The time was spent productively, resulting in the development of our own online bidding platform and App, successfully auctioning works of art with no exhibition viewing, no printed catalogue, while using state-of-the-art technology. All transactions were contactless and we reduced our carbon footprint along the way. While the personal service, excitement and atmosphere of our famous live Parnell Road auctions remain and will continue to grow, the success of this online only platform has encouraged us to retain this as a permanent sale category.
