Experience Equals Results

The Wendy Pharazyn & the late Bruce DahL Collection 1 - 75

I met Bruce in June, 2006. I had a collection of my late husband Conrad Pharazyn's watercolours as well as works by other artists we had collected over the years. Bruce had an art collection acquired over the years from galleries and auctions around Wellington.

Over the next ten years we spent much of our time in dealer galleries taking particular interest in works by emerging artists. In Auckland we got to know Richard Thomson from the International Art Centre and Jonathan Gooderham from Jonathan Grant Galleries. Bruce and I purchased art in Dunedin, Melbourne, Napier and Wellington. Whenever the opportunity presented itself, we would visit artists in their studios. One day, whilst in the Wairarapa, Bruce said he was going to ring Megan Campbell to see if we might visit her house/studio in Featherstone. We had a wonderful time talking to her about art and life and left with three more of her paintings - fantastical gems of colour and quirkiness. Bruce and I had fun collecting our art, each time we acquired a painting we enjoyed re-arranging the others to accommodate it. Eventually we ended up removing some of our interior doors to provide more wall space for our collection.

After a four year illness Bruce died in October 2016. Now it is time to lighten the load of material possessions. Richard said to me "Someone else will have the pleasure of enjoying these paintings."

The PINE series originated from poem fragments typed onto the backs of postcards Bill Manhire sent to Hotere from London in the early 1970s. Hotere produced this series of watercolours around them in 1972, and also produced a set of images using woodblock printed letters: PINE, is arranged in series down the left-hand side of the paper with the handwritten piece of poem next to it on the right. These two examples have recently been repatriated from Australia having spent more than thirty years offshore in the same collection.

Provenance:

Exhibited at McPherson Gallery, 2004

In one room is Michael Dell painting still-lifes on linen with delicate precision. His works are no more than a bottle and a couple of boxes. They are arranged with the severe formality of geometric abstraction and their pale colouring emphasises their sculptural quality.

The arrangement is scrupulous, with tiny details of hinges on the boxes and little press-stud catches. Delicate, precise, poised - they exactly hit a target at a limited range.

100 JANE EVANS

Mr Waldo

From Under Milkwood Series

Acrylic on board 75 x 60

Inscribed

$5,000 - 7,000

Mr Waldo – Rabbit catcher, barber, herbalist, cat doctor, quack, dreams of his mother and his many unhappy, failed marriages. He is a notorious alcoholic and general troublemaker and is involved in an affair with Polly Garter. The seventeen snoring gentle stone of Mr Waldo. ‘Hush, love, hush. I’m widower Waldo now.

Under Milk Wood is a 1954 radio drama by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, commissioned by the BBC and later adapted for the stage. It is also available as a book.

Jane Evans, created twenty five characterisations from the Thomas prose and drawing on her own recollection of types she had observed. The relevant character descriptions extracted from the porse poem were inscribed on the paintings themselves which, as they accumulated, called into existence the people of Milkwood. They satisfied the artist’s interest in the theatrical, unconventional and colourful manifestations of apparently ordinary lives.

Under Milkwood was a stunning series. Theatrical in their impact, these forceful, vigorous paintings interpreted Thomas’s glorious array of slightly crazed villages in sympathetic, vivid images. Jane Evans, John Coley, Hazard Press, 1997

Important & Rare Art

Important & Rare auctions are the proven, preeminent sale category for major works of art offered for sale in New Zealand. These auctions take place three times annually. As we fast approach our 50th year in business, experience continues to equal results. 2014 saw Important & Rare auctions realise five of New Zealand’s top ten auction prices. The following year saw new records set with the two top prices in Auckland achieved. With the addition of the record $1.377 million paid for a C F Goldie in April’s 2016 sale, International Art Centre achieved the three highest art auction prices in New Zealand’s history. Due to an appreciative, and greatly valued clientele of nationwide and international buyers and sellers we look forward to breaking new ground.

Collectable & Affordable Art Single Owner Auctions

The buzz generated by our regular Collectable Art auctions reflects the popularity of this sale: an event at which seasoned connoisseurs and budding collectors alike converge to appreciate one of the most eclectic and diverse offerings available to the market. Because this auction specifically caters to the more affordable end of the market - generally presenting works valued at $5,000 and less, this is an exciting opportunity to unearth some real treasures. Collectable Art auctions offer a number lower-priced works from highly-sought after artists in print and edition form, as well as quality works from artists whose presence on the secondary market is just beginning to crystallise.

From time to time, the secondary market is fortunate enough to be exposed to one of those rare collections which transcends the value of its individual works of art, and stands to represent something iconic in its entirety. Our team is well-versed in the process of offering single-owner collections for sale, and take pride in the process of curating a single-owner sale when the opportunity arises. We offer a targeted marketing campaign and maximise the use of both electronic and print-based collateral to effectively showcase such collections to maximum effect. The strong networks we have established locally and internationally are reflected in some of the private collections which have been entrusted to us in recent years, namely: the sale of the John Leech Collection, the Barry Pilcher Collection of Contemporary Art, A selection of works from the Fletcher Trust Collection and the Sally Hunt Collection
