Works have been made up from broken paintings of (mine) and are used in a reaction to the cleanism of Post-Modernism. Away from the precious, the tough is broken, veneer threatened, materials exposed and explored. The nails and staples are supposed to show. Invention and creative changing, formal and informal, invite the viewer to re-experience alterations. Disengage your old brain.

35 BILL HAMMOND Study

Acrylic on paper 77 x 56

Signed, inscribed & dated 1998

$25,000 - 35,000

In the late 1990s, Bill Hammond’s work took on the stylistic fortitude for which it is most celebrated. Building on previous explorations of mythology, human interaction, cultural absurdity and ecology, the artist now sought to convey a visual language of dark imposition. This elegant study is characteristic of this period in his work, and in it we encounter the shadowy expression of the artist’s defined otherworldliness.

In this work, Hammond navigates the immediacy of disconnection. Each elongated face appears as a masklike embodiment of alienation, frozen both in and through time; separate from the outline of the silhouetted bodies they inhabit.

It offers a snapshot of the dizzying world of anthropomorphism and fragile ecology which the artist inhabited, and through which he articulated his enigmatic turmoil.

Paintings from this period in Hammond’s work were often set against the backdrop of darkly layered, lush green caves and forest scapes. The understated palette and medium of this study presents us with the rawness of its absence, leaving the viewer confronted by the wanting exchange of mask-like faces which bleed down over, through and into each other.

Pounamu Whaiora, Pounamu from Big Bay, South Westland, South Island New Zealand

Pounamu stone with applied 23 carat gold 31.5 x 25.5

$20,000 - 30,000

Originally trained as a carver, Chris Charteris creates sculpted forms and body adornment. This freestanding pounamu piece, with its richly leafed gold cross, plays with the inherent differences pertaining to values in culture. Pounamu, long considered by Maori to denote status and authority, is teamed with gold leaf, the metallic lustre offset by the polished and the raw surface of the stone.

Signed, inscribed & numbered

$800 - 1,200

The Gift (Le Cadeau in French) is an early readymade by Man Ray, with the assistance of Erik Satie, consisting of an iron with fourteen thumb tacks glued to its sole, made in 1921 on the day of his first solo show in Paris. Gift is a conjunction of two alien objects. One represents domesticity and possibly femininity; the other represents carpentry and hence masculinity. This piece was made the same day it disappeared, and was meant to be a gift for the owner of the gallery it was being exhibited in. Unfortunately, it was stolen the same day. In 1974, Ray made the replicas of Gift as a limited edition.

Auction categories at International Art Centre

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.

CONTEMPORARY & MODERN Art

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-ofthe-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, namely: the sale of the John Leech Collection, the Barry Pilcher Collection of Contemporary Art, The Sally Hunt Collection, Wendy Phazaryn & the late Bruce Dahl Collection and a selection of works from the Fletcher Trust Collection.
