2023 AUCTION YEAR IN REVIEW 2023 was a memorable year for our company with Artvisory extremely busy with large and complex single-owner auctions, where we acted for vendors in three different states, bringing our national buyer database to each event.

Single-Owner Auctions

We started the year in country Victoria with the memorable auction at the vast Yaloak Estate – for Polo legend Mr Peter Yunghanns. A record-breaking auction result was achieved for a small oil painting

by A.H. Fullwood, which sold for a multiple estimate $151,680 inc. BP, and it was one of the great art discovery stories of the

year. The painting had for decades been overlooked and undervalued, until Artvisory, with the help of academic Dr Gary Wersky, researched the work and were then able to reveal the picture’s importance within the broader context of the history of Australian art. This fabulous story was covered in detail by the Australian Financial review.

ABOVE

Albert Henry Fullwood (1863-1930) An Australian River Sold for $151,680.00 inc. BP

BELOW

Andy Warhol (American, 1928-1987) Mao #92. Sold for $79,608.00 inc. BP MIDDLE

A very impressive and finely carved Carrara marble bust of Mars, The God of War, on very tall stone Tuscan form column, Italian 18th/19th century.

Sold for $30,020.00 inc. BP TOP RIGHT

A fine carved George III mahogany pie-crust wine table, English, circa 1765. Sold for $35,280.00 inc. BP BOTTOM RIGHT

A Steinway of Hamburg ebonised grand piano.

Sold for $52,920.00 inc. BP

We then headed off to Sydney for the auction for respected business identities Ann Sherry AO and Michael Hogan in their spectacular Sydney Mansion – The Abbey, where we sold their art and antiques collections, led by the sale of an Andy Warhol edition of Mao for AUD$79,608.00 inc. BP.

Unquestionably the strongest result of the year for any antiques-based auction, was for the traditional antiques collection formed by the late Bruce and Judith Terry at their magnificent home, Teychel in Moule Avenue, Brighton. Sales for the Terry family by Artvisory ended up at close to AUD$1.2 million inc. BP.

Gaining coverage in the UK based Antique Trade Gazette, this auction produced some spectacular prices for English Georgian furniture, and it’s been a while since Georgian furniture has made auction headlines.

4

Then in October in Sydney and Woy-Woy, we presented to market the massive and complex collection, in two parts, of the late Bruce Kerr, acting under instructions from his wife and fellow-collector Janet Matthews.

This was one of the largest collections we have ever seen of Australian Colonial antiques and European antiques and its result, being close to AUD$1.2 million in sales, would make it one of the top overall results ever for this category.

Later in October it was good to re-kindle our relationships with our strong Tasmanian clientele, when we held the auction for Dr Robert Fisher in a spectacular venue.

We thank Penny Clive for being our gracious host for the time we spent in Hobart cataloguing, photographing and then displaying, and ultimately auctioning and dispatching Dr Fisher’s antiques collection.

We were also pleased to end the calendar year posting the two highest grossing single-owner auctions held in Australia in 2023.

First and foremost, Artvisory are single-owner auction specialists, and we already have two very major collections contracted for 2024.

LEFT

An important early Colonial cedar double-end sofa, Tasmanian, circa 1825.

Sold for $31,440.00 inc. BP RIGHT

An important Tasmanian Muskwood and specimen-wood exhibition table, Australian, circa 1835.

Chinese and Asian Arts

In the field of Chinese and Asian art, Artvisory further cemented its position as the auction house of choice, especially for the sale of Chinese ceramics and works of art. Two auctions were held this last year with world-class fully illustrated catalogues, which were expertly curated and prepared

by Artvisory specialist Luke Guan.

The December auction featured a private collection consigned from Japan and this was a great vote of confidence not only in the Australian market for Chinese arts, but in our company as well and we were pleased to see some very good results for this vendor.

TOP LEFT

A Chinese iron red dragon dish, Guangxu six-character underglaze mark and of the period (1874-1908).

Sold for $21,420.00 inc. BP BOTTOM LEFT

Australian and International Art

Artvisory had a very strong year for Art sales with some very significant results that are worth reflecting on.

As well as the AH Fullwood discovery, already covered here, (sold for AUD$151,860.00 inc.

BP). Artvisory also auctioned Andy Warhol’s iconic image of Mick Jagger in September for $150,000 inc. BP, and Keith Haring’s Pop Shop IV series for 150,000 inc. BP.

The last two results being posted within the very successful new category 'Exceptional in Australia' which proved itself a very good showcase for the best of the best, not only for applied arts, but also for Australian and International Art.

LEFT

ANDY WARHOL (American, 1928-1987) Mick Jagger (F. & S. II.140) Sold for $144,900.00 inc. BP RIGHT

KEITH HARING (American, 1958-1990) Pop Shop IV Series Sold for $142,380.00 inc. BP

7

Exceptional in Australia

2023 saw Artvisory launch a new and exciting category called 'Exceptional in Australia'. Filling the gap for vendors who want to sell the best of what is available in Australia to an International market, where very fine and rare art and antiques are carefully researched and catalogued by recognised experts and where the auction catalogue is not lessened by lower value and lesser quality items.

Sales of close to AUD$1 million were achieved by only 35 lots.

Every item had at least a full-page illustration and fully researched essays, and in many cases, double-page spreads and the concept was a resounding success and will be repeated in 2024.

LEFT

A stunning Kaitag embroidery, Daghestan, Caucasus, 18th century. Sold for $20,160.00 inc. BP

TOP MIDDLE

A very rare pair of ‘battlement’ border tiles with reciprocal trefoil design, Ottoman-era Damascus, circa 1575. Sold for $19,650.00 inc. BP TOP RIGHT

Welcome to 2024 and what a way to start the new calendar year with this the Robert Burke porcelain collection. A truly remarkable collection it is and an auction that will stand out Internationally, as it is rare to see such a collection come to the market anywhere in the world.

Paul recalls that it was the accountant at Sotheby’s Australia, Brenda Sheedy, who first struck up a friendship with Robert Burke and it was through Brenda that Paul first come across Robert, back in the early 1990s, some thirty years ago now.

Robert Burke kept his collection private in Australia and many in the antiques business didn’t know him. But some of the world’s top English ceramics dealers, would visit Australia and vanish off to see him, with an air of mystery. Who was this major buyer that they came to see from so far away?

To some Robert was known only as the Tamworth pharmacist who was believed to have a good collection.

Boy did he have a good collection!

When Paul made his first visit to see Robert’s collection, he simply could not believe what he was seeing, within the multitude of antique china-display cabinets that Bob housed his collection within.

Robert Burke lent a number of pieces from his collection to the National Gallery of Victoria for their significant 1984/5 exhibition: Flowers and Fables, A survey of Chelsea porcelain, 1745-1769, wouldn’t it be great to see some of these pieces find their way into our permanent national collections. One thing we are sure of, is that this idea would have brought great delight to Robert.

This really is a remarkable opportunity for everyone, especially those interested in the history of ceramics, to visit and preview this collection, the like of which we have never seen in person in this country.

We are extremely honoured to have been instructed to handle Robert Burke's collection on behalf of his family and we welcome everyone to come and marvel at this most wonderful collection.

Robert Francis (RF) Burke 10 October 1932 – 22 March 2022

Affectionately known as Bob or Bobby. Bob Burke was a revered, wellknown identity in the Tamworth (NSW) area, recognised as a remarkable Pharmacist, long serving Rotarian, state tennis representative, outstanding footballer, a distinguished academic and local philanthropist, as President of Treloar Park Tennis Club with over 40 years of service to the club. Bob was known to have an international reputation for his fine porcelain.

Bob was the middle child of five of Joe and Ivy Burke. He had two sisters and along with his two brothers was educated at Christian Brothers College, Tamworth. In 1947 he received an NSW Education Bursary for his secondary education and went on to become Dux of CBC College.

Bob had successfully completed Latin in the Leaving Certificate after progressing his secondary education in an accelerated program for his age. In those days a pharmacist needed to have a pass in Latin in the High School Leaving Certificate standard as doctors wrote all prescriptions in coded Latin. After completing his secondary education Bob went on to obtain a Ph.C. (Pharmaceutical Chemist) award, or a B. Pharm. (Bachelor of Pharmacy) degree at the University of Sydney at only 18 years of age.

Topping the Sydney University course again before he turned 18, was an outstanding feat, but more so as Bob also attained 100/100 in his final examinations and was duly decorated with the Chancellor’s Medal for Dux in that year and for outstanding academic excellence. Bob received a letter of congratulations from the then Federated Pharmaceutical Services Guild (now Pharmacy Guild of Australia) which read ‘Bob you are now in a position to name where you would like to practice Pharmacy’.

Though at 18 there was still one obstacle to overcome. Bob needed to be ‘apprenticed’ and indentured to a practising registered pharmacist

(usually for one year) before he could solely be registered at 21 years of age. He was the youngest pharmacist to ever graduate at the age of 18 and was indentured for 3 years.

In 1950 Bob worked at Mussons Pharmacy on Macquarie Street, Sydney for the prescribed indentured period before returning to Tamworth and working for Cyrill Cahill, of Cahills Chemist. Mussons provided Bob many opportunities to experience compounding ointments especially working on prescriptions for the nearby Sydney Eye Hospital. Developing ointments became a passion for Bob and this experience provided him skills to identify many skin irritations and suitable topical ointments which he became known for. Bob was recognised for his own mixtures of Koflin, Ilma wax, Cabolic Oil tincture, ‘Pink ointment’ amongst many other sought-after products Bob developed.

As well as being competent in his academic studies, Bob was an accomplished tennis player who went on to play tennis at the NSW Country Championships. Whilst studying at university Bob played tennis for clubs at Crow’s Nest and further on Sydney’s North Shore often winning the championship tournaments. He was also a very good footballer alongside the Burke brothers.

Cyrill Cahill of Cahills Tamworth had been a pharmacist for forty years.

In 1962, he sold his pharmacy business to Bob. Bob had worked for Cyrill Cahill as a fully qualified pharmacist for the previous nine years and continued to trade as “Cahill’s Great Northern Pharmacy on the corner of Brisbane and Peel Street Tamworth. Bob purchased his own premises in 1971, returning to Cyril Cahill’s original shop at 305 Peel Street where Cahills is still operating today.

10

In the 36 years Cyrill Cahill operated his pharmacy, it was a store recognised for what used to be an appealing feature of old-time pharmacies - the huge glass containers of varying shapes, filled with coloured water within the timber lined store. When acquiring Cyrill Cahill’s business, Bob became the custodian of many vintage apothecary pharmacy porcelain jars and bottles, and he relished the opportunity to collect. Hence began Bob’s interest in lidded jars with waisted bodies, domed lids, finials decorated with medicinal plants and inscriptions and a love for their production, design and history which would launch Bob on a path of collecting porcelain.

Bob decorated his pharmacy windows with these large bottles and apothecary porcelain chemist jars. He was known for pouring many hours into his decorating, curating displays, and beautifully arranging gondalas. Australian pharmacies had now become more like American ‘drug stores’ than British ‘chemist shops’ whereas the British pharmacists tended to sell only medicines and the like, the Americans and Australians began stocking all sorts of other products as well, including cosmetics, photographic materials, and confectionery. Bob toyed with these options over time, and he led the way by stocking every reputable cosmetic brand including Innoxa, Helena Rubenstein, Revlon and Elizabeth Arden. He was always the businessman looking for ideas where he could develop and diversify his business. In September 1965 he was the first NSW Pharmacist to introduce a digital cash register ready for the introduction of decimal currency. With the opportunity to travel, Bob often returned to Tamworth with grand plans and new-found knowledge from abroad. Bob at one time incorporated many concept shops within his pharmacies. He had an on-site Kodak 1- hour developing lab, carried various jewellery labels including George Jenssen and Taka and when Darrell Lea stores closed in 2012, Bob incorporated Darrell Lea into his repertoire of products. ‘If you can’t have the chocolate, you love… buy a slice of the company’ was Bob’s answer.

Key to pinpointing where he found his love of antiques, are the many handwritten letters on lightweight, air mail paper from friends he made on those trips to the United Kingdom and other European countries.

Many he corresponded with for decades who introduced him to the American Ceramic Circle and the English Ceramic Circle. Through these acquaintances, Bob became familiar with Worcester and Chelsea and the preferred pieces that would ‘complement’ a collection primarily because of the provenance of the piece. These letters were written by like-minded people Bob befriended who opened his world to the production of porcelain from the 1700 and 1800’s and the special ‘finds’ these friends wrote about that truly gave him a taste and appetite.

On the home front, when Tamworth Council granted land to the Tamworth Tennis Club at Treloar Park, Bob as Club President, and an avid player and member together with his builder friend, Johann “John” Dunst, worked tirelessly to realise the initial plan to build a tennis centre with 12 courts and a clubhouse. In all this work, the Club used its own money without grants and without the need to borrow under Bob’s leadership. He personally, financed many aspects of construction along with John as builder. On the court and in the clubhouse, John and Bob were a formidable team. John, originally from Austria coerced Bob to travel, rest and ‘live’. In doing so travel provided Bob many opportunities to explore the culture, history, and art world of Europe.

When the Treloar Tennis Club was due to be opened, it was on one such visit to Austria where Bob and John had the opportunity to travel to Kitzbuhel, to meet with the then, very young Yvonne Goolagong and Margaret Court whom Bob invited to travel to Tamworth for an exhibition game at Treloar Park. This cemented Treloar Park to be recognised as only second at the time, to White City in Sydney, as an outstanding tennis centre running a well patronized Easter tennis tournament.

Before he died in March 2022, Bob was back in contact with Goolagong Cawley and Court to again invite them back to Tamworth for the launch of the current refurbished Treloar Park, the new acquisition by Tamworth West Leagues Club.

As a pharmacist, often Bob worked very full retail hours up until Christmas then took the opportunity to travel from Boxing Day for a few weeks to visit the UK and some other European destinations and to personally explore the porcelain world. He regularly did this up until 1988.

By this time, he had connected with Robert and Judy Jones of R & J Jones Antiques and the Woollahra Trading Company. Robert shared his knowledge of dealers in surrounding areas and together they would road trip. Initially, Bob would collect period furniture and have them sent in a container via sea which took months to arrive in Tamworth. Bob recorded his purchases in a carbon copy invoice book to acquit information for BADA and VAT claims.

Bob followed the purchase history of who was acquiring ‘what’ pieces.

He subscribed to receive many, many catalogues and hardcover books referencing Worcester and Chelsea. He prided himself on purchasing very special pieces that due to the colour, design, the artist or in the case of James Giles, the London Atelier, the exquisite ‘marks’ on the pieces.

It was the provenance that made the purchase desirable and the fact he curated purchases which complemented the porcelain sets within his 16 extraordinary cabinets. He was often affectionately referred to as ‘Bob, aka James Giles’. His handwritten notes record his efforts drawing the Giles’ marks and other distinguishable antique feature symbols for his own recall.

11

Bob felt he was in the position to acquire very special pieces and he never quibbled at what was required to lock in certain pieces. Mrs Anne George, and later Mark Law, of Albert Amor, St James, London were dealers who looked after Bob. As well, over the years he dealt with Robyn Robb, Robert Jones, Roy Twigg, Pat Daniels, Russell Brookes and Paul Sumner and many other Australian and internationally based auction houses and dealers represented in the catalogue.

If Bob, returned to the pharmacy late at night with the intention of tweaking the displays and turning on the shop lights; it was primarily the time he called London dealers to just keep abreast of what pieces were on the market and express interest in pieces he had received photos of via Her Majesty’s Royal Mail. With the advent of the internet, it hastened the whole purchase process for him. Bob was not averse to trapping someone into pulling up a website and scrolling what was available and printing copies for him to peruse.

The collection was Bob’s escape. He dusted, polished, and re-arranged the cabinets and staggered the pieces to the best advantage. It was a very special night to be included in a soiree, for an intimate viewing of Bob’s Collection as an invited guest. Together Bob hosted gatherings in the Burke family home in Tamworth that boasted an exquisite setting, purposefully arranged, separate to the family living areas. Bob’s mother and sister who still occupied the home, together with his two other siblings and their respective partners, availed guests, who enjoyed a night of beautiful hospitality, awe inspiring antique history talks, prepared by Bob. He poured over every aspect of each (new) piece. One night was never enough and many felt enchanted at the opportunity to do it all over again. As Bob remained a bachelor all his life, for the younger nieces and nephews, a 20-minute visit lasted 3 hours as he incessantly wanted all to partake in the love of his porcelain and the stories they told.

If Bob heard of anyone travelling to London, he was very keen and blasé about them collecting a piece of porcelain and bringing it back to Tamworth for him. ‘Merely’ he said, ‘just put it in your carry-on’. Many proudly felt they had the honour of being a ‘antique mule’ for Bob Burke.

Bob’s interests went beyond pharmacy and his antique collection. He was President of the Rotary Club of Tamworth North from 1974-1975 and was also recognised as a Paul Harris Fellow. The highest award in Rotary is the Paul Harris Award. It is given to a Rotarian or a member of the community that has made an outstanding contribution to the community. Bob was extremely proud to be acknowledged with this award in esteemed company of many other Tamworth businessmen.

Bob went on to open a second Pharmacy with his sister Janet under the brand banner of Thrift Chemist, Kmart Plaza in 1981. Prior to the rise of discount pharmacies, he was the only registered pharmacist to own two pharmacies in NSW. Together with Janet his sister, who was a Women’s

International Hockey Umpire and Technical delegate, nominated as an official at the Seoul Olympics of 1988; they contributed to the construction of Tamworth Hockey Association’s synthetic turf fields in Tamworth. Bob stood steadfast to his mother Ivy until her death in 1991 and again was Janet’s carer as her health prematurely declined. Through those years he remained in Tamworth and had very few trips overseas.

The preparation undertaken to sell the RF Burke Collection has been monumental. As a family we honour the importance this collection held to Bob. It is a measure of many things in his life. The success he had as a distinguished businessman in Tamworth, the love of fine things and the beauty, skill and craftsmanship and the joy of the occasion where this lifestyle was enjoyed.

Bob was a man of service to his customers and the general community at large. He was generous of heart and showed dignity to all he encompassed. Many benefitted from his kindness and generosity.

This catalogue is a final salute to Robert Francis Burke. We celebrate the man who was a son, brother, uncle, friend, and colleague. The RF Burke Collection here is realised for the first time and offered in its entirety under the label that Bob would be immensely proud of.

We extend an invitation for those with a similar love to that of Bob, who appreciate how significant this collection is, to warmly share a part of Bob’s life that this collection embodies, in what will always be precious memories, significant in our Burke Family story.

‘His antiques carried no dust; those memories will last forever.’ Although some people think that ‘winning solves everything, you still have to put in that effort to become someone of distinction. That was Bob. But more so, he was one to live by the motto ‘work hard in silence, let success be your noise’.

Quote adapted from Mary Lou Retton an American retired gymnast.

‘A trophy carries no dust. Memories last forever.’

‘It doesn’t matter how many awards or accolades you have accumulated throughout your lifetime. It is the memories you share with your loved ones, friends, colleagues, and fans who supported your journey. The experience of winning titles and basking in the glory is all part of life’ – Mary Lou Retton Susan Fittler – Bob’s niece, on behalf of the Burke family.

They may be amended by printed Saleroom Notices or oral announcements made before and during the sale. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these terms.

1. Background to the Terms used in these Conditions The conditions that are listed below contain terms that are used regularly and may need explanation. They are as follows: “the Buyer” means the person with the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer “the Lot” means any item depicted within the sale for auction and in particular the item or items described against any lot number in the catalogue. “the Hammer price” means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a lot

Images are measured height by width (sight size).

Illustrations are provided only as a guide and should not be relied upon as a true representation of colour or condition. Images are not shown at a standard scale. Mention is rarely made of frames (which may be provided as supplementary images on the website) which do not form part of the lot as described in the printed catalogue.

“the Buyers Premium” means the charge payable by the Buyer to the auction house as a percentage of the hammer price. “the Reserve” means the lowest amount at which Artvisory has agreed with the Seller that the lot can be sold.

“Forgery” means an item constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole, with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue. Accordingly no lot shall be capable of being a forgery by reason of any damage or restoration work of any kind (Including re-painting). “the insured value” means the amount that Artvisory in its absolute discretion from time to time shall consider the value for which a lot should be covered for insurance (whether or not insurance is arranged by Artvisory.)

Catalogue and other Descriptions All statements by Artvisory in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact.

Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by Artvisory of any kind. References in the catalogue entry to the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or it’s value for any other purpose. Neither Artvisory nor The Seller is responsible for any errors or omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material.

c)

Buyers Responsibility All property is sold “as is” without representation or warranty of any kind by Artvisory or the Seller.

Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue by requesting a condition report No lot to be rejected if, subsequent to the sale, it has been immersed in liquid or treated by any other process unless the Auctioneer’s permission to subject the lot to such immersion or treatment has first been obtained in writing.

If we receive identical written bids on a particular lot, and at the auction these are the highest bids on that lot, then the lot will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors or omissions which may arise. It is the bidder’s responsibility to check with Artvisory after the auction if they were successful. Unlimited or “Buy” bids will not be accepted.
