IMPORTANT

& RARE ART: HELD 30 MARCH POST AUCTION REPORT

In April, 2016 International Art Centre became the first auction house in New Zealand to sell a painting for over a million dollars. This historic event saw Charles Frederick Goldie's A Noble Relic of a Nobel Race realise $1.37 million. Five years later, at our recent Important & Rare Auction that record was surpassed when, after thirteen minutes of spirited bidding from the floor, phones and internet Banksy's, Keep It Real sold for $1.74 million. As Richard Thomson auctioneer paused for breath, the room filled with exuberant applause which continued throughout the evening as further record prices were achieved.

For directors Richard Thomson, Frances Davies and the International Art Centre family the jubilation was welcomed as a fitting soundtrack to the celebration of our 50th Anniversary year. Record prices for Contemporary New Zealand art were numerous and in lot order included works by: Anne Shelton - $13,810, Paratene Matchitt - $36,030, Nigel Brown - $32,433, Stanley Palmer - $46,645, Robin White - $216,200, Robyn Kahukiwa - $64,867. A record price for early 20th century painter, E G Edwards of $33,600 was also achieved. Returning to the international Banksy market, world records were attained for two of the five Banksy prints offered. Choose Your Weapon (Soft Yellow) fetched $468,450 and Morons achieved $255,855. International Art Centre is one of the top three performers in the global Banksy market. Since June 2020 the inclusion of works by Banksy has lead to our auction catalogues being viewed by an extensive international audience; the benefits of this are ongoing, with one of the most pleasing aspects being increased off-shore interest in New Zealand art. Along with this, we continue to attract interesting international paintings such as the keenly contested work by German artist Sigmar Polke. This work sold for $204,200 to a New Zealand collector who succeeded against off-shore interests.

Other highlights contributing to a sale total of $5.22 million included Bill Hammond's Choreograph Screen - $144,000, Gretchen Albrecht's Floe$120,010, Don Binney's Mexico D.F. - $120,010 and Frances Hodgkins The Cow - $132,130. A photograph by Fiona Pardington achieved $51,000 and one of six works by Toss Woollaston made $54,054.

A work by Philip Clairmont exceeded estimate selling for $34,235 as did an oil by Karl Maughan which went for $40,800. There were two works by Michael Smither on offer, one from the collection of the artist's daughter which made $70,200. Peter Siddell's Old House, Avondale, estimated at $15,000 - 25,000 sold for $50,450. Traditional works by Peter McIntyre, John Barr Clarke Hoyte, Charles Blomfield, Laurence William Wilson, Sydney Lough Thompson also performed extremely well.

Our thanks to all who attended the sale both in person or online through our bidding platform and App, along with our telephone bidders. It was a night to remember and positive confirmation of the value of art on so many levels. With a sale total of over $5.35million, it was also the most successful result in our 50 year history.

PROVENANCE

Private Collection, Hawkes Bay

Purchased from Eat My Handbag Bitch, 2003

Banksy sdescribed his work Weston Super Mare as ‘a cheerful tribute to the great British seaside towns’, It depicts a senior citizen on a park bench, blissfully unaware of the looming danger that is approaching in the form of a circular saw cutting its way through the Weston Super Mare promenade.

Perhaps Banksy suggess that even the most comfortable among us are still accompanied by the shadow of death at every turn. It could also be read as an uncharacteristically uplifting message, offering a healthy reminder to make the most of every moment, to stop and take in the view once in a while.

Weston-Super-Mare is in North Somerset where Banksy opened the ‘bemusement’ theme park Dismaland ‘unsuitable for children’. Open for just five weeks in the summer of 2015, Dismaland was an obvious parody of the institution of Disneyland. From August to September 2015, Dismaland saw over 150,000 visitors from around the world and £20 million in revenue to the seaside town.

INTERNATIONAL WORKS OF ART FROM THE FRANS BAETENS & MAGDA VAN GILS COLLECTION

International Art Centre is delighted to offer works from the Private Collection of Muka Studio founders Frans Baetens and Magda Van Gils. These two passionate art teachers collaborated with leading New Zealand and international artists in the production of handmade prints, initially using the two small stone lithography presses they had brought with them from Belgium in 1983.

The Muka Studio Gallery soon had over 100 well known artists exhibiting and working in lithography with them. In 1988 a huge antique Voirin Press, identical to the presses Picasso and Miro used was added to the studio's assets.

In November 1987 at Muka studio, Frans and Magda organised an exhibition of original artworks exclusively for youth. What had been intended as a single show met with great popular success and became an important annual event which lasted for some 35 years and travelled nationwide. Through the efforts of Frans and Magda many young New Zealanders were give the invaluable opportunity to view and acquire especially selected works of art.

LOT 135 PERCEVAL LEASON

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 ART ALWAYS CONSIGNING ENTRIES NOW INVITED

The buzz generated by our Collectable Art auctions reflects the popularity of these sales: 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. Works span the vital period from mid-century modernism through to the cutting-edge of today’s Contemporary art in New Zealand.

This sale category is an increasingly significant event in our auction calendar. Offering a number of lowerpriced 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.

Single Owner Auctions

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.

CONSIGNING INVITED

ART AT HOME ONLINE only Auctions

A quick, easy and reliable solution to larger low value 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 twenty-first-century 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 introduce this as an exclusive and permanent sale category.
