Charles Frederick Goldie realised $594,900

International Art Centre wish to congratulate all buyers, sellers, artists, friends and family in making 2018 our most successful year to date.

April's Important & Rare Art auction achieved sales in excess of $4 million, resulting in the highest grossing New Zealand art auction of the year whilst establishing an overall record for a mixed vendor auction. August’s Important & Rare Art auction saw continued success with numerous new art auction records achieved. Our final auction of the year held

27 November, saw the continuation of this trend with determined bidders paying record prices for quality works of art.

The Modern & Contemporary Art and Collectable Art auctions met with growing enthusiasm by collectors worldwide. C F Goldie's Portrait of Tamati Pehiriri, from the collection of Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, realised the year's top price of $922,000. We look forward welcoming you to our 2019 auctions.

The Student and Her Flowers

Oil on composite board 91 x 107

Signed & inscribed

$30,000 - 40,000

Inscription reads:

A young woman at Agricultural College decided to enter a competition for the best flowers grown by a student. She dawdled along imagining herself winning first prize, standing on the stage making a speech of thanks, followed by most enthusiastic audience applause. For months she spent her time and energy nurturing her crop. On the day of the awards, she rose early and picked her finest blooms. A sudden gust of wind swept her flowers in the air, she tripped and fell, and the flowers came down, bruised and broken, like her dreams.

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.

Modern & Contemporary Art ALWAYS CONSIGNING ENTRIES INVITED

Twice a year our Modern & Contemporary Art auctions play an integral role in enabling market access to the most sought-after artists who have defined New Zealand’s art narrative over the past 50-years. These sales never fail to present an exciting offering of both painting and sculpture by a range of our modern and contemporary greats. Spanning that vital period from the establishment of mid-century modernism through to the cutting edge of our national contemporary art discourse, this is an acclaimed and significant event in the auction calendar. Our new state-of-the-art premises will ensure contemporary art is now exhibited and auctioned in a dynamic and appropriate environment.

Artists’ Estates & Collectable Art Single Owner Auctions

The buzz generated by our Artists’ Estates & 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. Artists’ Estates & 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.
