Edward Bullmore - A Tribute Exhibition

26 September 2008 - 30 November 2008, Rotorua Museum

In September 1850 more than 150 settlers left England for Canterbury, New Zealand, aboard the Charlotte Jane. A century later a Christchurch glass-blower John Rowe, a descendant of one of those passengers, recreated the ship as a scale model. The model is now in the collection of Canterbury Museum, where it was photographed by Fiona Pardington. In this new incarnation, floating in a black void, the Charlotte Jane has become a ghost ship –at once imposing and skeletal, beautiful and fragile.

Images of Tarawera & the Terraces

Paintings, prints & photographs Lots 124 - 136

O-tū-kapua-rangi - fountain of the clouded sky - The Pink Terrace.

The Pink & White Terraces were thought to be buried by the Tarawera eruption of June 1886. Separated by nearly a kilometre, the Pink Terraces were about two thirds of the way down the lake, sheltered from the harsh sun on the western shores, facing southeast. Their pink appearance was largely due to less exposure to sunlight, and therefore less bleaching. Tourists and locals bathed in the luke warm water on the lower level of the Pink Terraces.

Te Tarata - the tattooed rock - The White Terrace

The White Terraces were at the north end of Lake Rotomahana and faced away from the lake at the entrance to the Kaiwaka Stream. They descended to the lake edge forty metres below. The additional sunlight received from facing north created their bleached white appearance. The White Terrace was the larger of the two formation, covering in excess of three hectares. They are reportedly the largest silica sinter deposits on earth.

In February 2011, a team including researchers from GNS Science, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, and Waikato University were mapping the lake floor when they reported discovering part of the Pink Terraces.

The lowest two tiers of the terraces were reported found at 60 metres. A part of the White Terraces was also reported as rediscovered in June 2011.

Researchers now believe they have found the terraces burial site and are calling for a full scale archaeological investigation.

Using reverse engineering and surveying works of 19th century geologist Dr Ferdinand von Hochstetter, researchers Rex Bunn and Dr Sascha Nolden deduced the Pink and White Terraces may have survived the 1886 Tarawera eruption.

Their paper, published June 2017 in the Journal of New Zealand Studies, plotted the three terrace locations beneath land, and not under Lake Rotomahana as imagined by 19th century colonists and accepted by some by some later researchers. These research and findings continue.

Mt Tarawera in Eruption, June 10, 1886

A D Willis & W Potts Chromolithograph 35 x 52

Inscribed

$800 - 1,200

This rare chromolithograph of the 10 June 1886 Tarawera eruption was made by A D Willis, based on a painting by Charles Blomfield. The view is from the Maori village of Waitangi on the northern shores of Lake Tarawera, where there was only a single death. Blomfield did not see the eruption, and reconstructed the dramatic scene from what he had been told.

Sale 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.

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 and a selection of works from the Fletcher Trust Collection.
