Born in Wellington, Raymond Ching has lived in the UK for many years where he is acclaimed as one of the world’s foremost contemporary wildlife artists.

His early reputation was established when he was commissioned to prepare 250 illustrations for The Readers Digest Book of British Birds. Published in 1969, the text went on to become the best-selling ornithological field guide ever.

Kereru, Tui & The Sparrow stems from Ching’s highly acclaimed Aesop’s Kiwi Fables Series of 2012. Here he combines his artistic work with his love of stories and fables. The final series of 47 paintings and accompanying text placed the fables and tradition an entirely new location and cast. The anecdotes and fables are told by the inhabitants of New Zealand, mostly birds and in this way Ching is retelling, reinventing and re-imagining them inside the cultural context, flora and fauna of this place.

The final works demonstrate Ching’s visual dexterity; an astonishing mastery of disparate, complex elements; that effortlessly connects the riddle of each fable to the allegorical depiction established.

Provenance Sale, Webb’s, Auckland, 06 April 2005 (lot 441) Private collection, Christchurch

Uplands depicts the southern Maniototo landscape, Grahame Sydney is so celebrated for and has earned him the reputation as New Zealand's pre-eminent landscape artist. The visual plane is reduced to three fundamental elements – land, sky and clouds. With no identifiable landmarks, identification of place is mysteriously anonymous imbuing the work with an iconic, majestical power. To quote Brian Turner in 'The Art of Grahame Sydney': “Southern landscapes and Sydney’s work are synonymous for many, yet his landscapes and the objects in them are, together, far more than depictions of Arcadian splendour, mere pastoral idylls. Note the contest hinted at or overt – look for yourself – in so many of them, note that here and there the world seems stilled, there is conveyed a sense of moments of quietus…With understated vehemence Sydney’s art often warns, beware of what appears benign.

In essence so many of his paintings are about staying not leaving., about enduring, hanging on. How do you persist and exist here, glory in what you see, respect what has gone before, what remains, and what will live on?...The land tells a story, the dilapidated buildings testify to other stories bound up in the land’s story, and the clouds are transient but keep on coming, forming and reforming.

Sydney’s world, his wilderness where the

spirit is tested and strengthened by pure airiness, great space, is almost always unforested. Or is it? If you can locate yourself here, it is in a forest of loneliness, temperamentally, where you are exposed to yourself and everything else.

You need strength of purpose, of character; you need courage to stand up here and not avert your eyes. Only through distance can you find yourself.

Beyond the far blue, gold of dune hills and mountains, beneath cirrus edged with gold, there’s self to be reckoned with.

Do we explore the land or does it explore us? The question brings to mind Lawrence Durrell’s feeling that mountains watch us, ask if we are watching ourselves in them, And so often when looking at Sydney’s landscapes, I recall James K Baxter’s lyric “High Country Weather” and his lines about red-gold cirrus shining over a high mountain as we ride the upland road.”

28 Don Binney (1940-2012) Fatbird II oil on board signed and dated ‘D. BINNEY 1965’ (lower right) original London Commonwealth Institute Gallery, Contemporary New Zealand Painting 1965 paper label affixed to reverse entitled ‘Two Fat Birds’ 129 x 52.5cm $250,000 - $350,000 Provenance Collection of Mr W G Lee, Auckland The Margaret & Geoffrey Candy Collection, Nelson Sale, The Candy Collection, Dunbar Sloane Ltd, Wellington, 12 November 1997 (lot 7) as ‘Two Fat Birds’ Private Estate, Auckland Exhibited Ikon Fine Arts, Auckland, 4-16 October 1964 London Commonwealth Institute Gallery, ‘Contemporary New Zealand Painting’, 25 February - 20 March 1965, cat no. 8.

Although dated 1965, Fatbird II was almost certainly first exhibited at the Ikon Gallery in October 1964, as part of Binney’s ‘Recent Paintings’ exhibition. A number of works in that showing were offered for sale on the condition they remained available for the exhibition ‘Contemporary New Zealand Painting’ at the Commonwealth Institute, London, the following year. Fatbird II, although not initially listed as such, was one of five Binney works subsequently confirmed to travel to England.[iii] (It is possible that the artist modified the work after its initial showing and signed it again, hence the adjusted date in the lower right corner.)

Don Binney made a point of saying that the bird and landscape paintings in his 1964 exhibition were not self-consciously ‘New Zealand’ works—this in the face of his new-found audience’s reluctance to read them any other way. ‘They are images, directly stated,’ he continued, ‘of forms familiar to and closely observed by the artist as ingredients of an intimate environment.’[i] A sequence of three numbered ‘Fatbird’ paintings is listed in the Ikon Gallery catalogue, of which the first, smallest work is reproduced on the front cover—a work now in the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa collection. Also in the exhibition were such defining works as The Madness of the Pipiwharauroa (1963) and Kotare over Ratana Church, Te Kao (1964).

It is likely the girl in Fatbird II was a student at Queen Victoria Maori Girls’ School (now known as Te Kura o Kuini Wikitoria). The schoolgrounds bordered the back of the Binney family’s house in Awatea Road, Parnell. The painting is a revisitation of the central theme in Binney’s well-known Pipiwharauroa in Advent (1962), in which four Maori schoolgirls appear to be in a sing-off with a treebound shining cuckoo, all of them going at it full tilt.

More resolved than that earlier work, Fatbird II adopts a church-window-like format to frame a two-tiered composition. The majority of Binney’s portrait-format paintings comprise an upper and lower chamber, which allows his subjects to be clearly displayed; unimpeded. Usually a bird occupies the upper half, while below he places an architectural form (such as a church or colonial villa), a cultivated plot of land or, less often, a human subject.

In Fatbird II, a simplified hill-line creates a sweeping arabesque across the picture, dividing earth and air, and swooping down to almost touch the girl’s head. Her expressive hands have the indecision or fidgeting nervousness of Fra Angelico’s Virgin Mary in Annunciation-mode. She looks one way while a North Island tomtit (unnamed in the title—uncharacteristically for Binney—but readily identifiable) flies off in the other.

A friend of the artist’s, Barry Margan, has noted the theme of ‘blending’ in Fatbird II, a work which brings together ‘landscape, fauna, indigenous inhabitant, and the subtle pressures of European culture and education (through the medium of the school uniform)’. [iii] Beyond any allegorical or symbolic intent, the work is also a bringing together of two agreeable presences from the artist’s ‘intimate environment’.

Whatever its raison d’etre, Fatbird II epitomises a phase in Binney’s early career—from 1963 until 1967—which was at once breathless and exhilarating.

29 Max Gimblett (b 1935) Ganesha acrylic, polymer and metallic pigments on canvas signed, inscribed with title and dated 1983 to reverse 195 x 195cm maximum $50,000 - $70,000 Provenance commissioned directly from the artist, 1983 Private Estate Auckland

Max Gimblett is a New Zealand-born artist who has devoted his career to a kind of abstract expressionism that explores his interests in Buddhism and spirituality. He has been based in New York since 1972 but has maintained a presence in New Zealand where his work is frequently exhibited and collected.

His work is valued for its integration of Western painting methods with panAsian spiritual traditions and art-making practices. Ganesha is one of Max’s early quatrefoil paintings. It was commissioned at the same time as two similar paintings were bought by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Queensland Art Gallery, Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane.

In 1982 Max stopped painting to focus on drawing and shape-making. One shape in particular, the quatrefoil, struck him “as very convincing”[i] and something to develop. The quatrefoil is an ancient shape that has long appeared in Christian churches both architecturally and decoratively. It echoes the mandalas of Buddhism, the decorations of Hinduism and the designs of the Pacific. As Max explains: “…when we dream of a mandala, a quatrefoil or a circle or a square with a circle in it, it’s a dream of wholeness, we feel whole.

It’s cross-cultural, lets me reach right around the world. It’s in every culture in some aspect as a symbol.”[ii] As the title suggests, the origins of this work are connected to a trip he made to India in 1983. “…I stepped off the plane and …

I became Ganesh, I was Ganesh for five weeks, trunk and all.”[iii]

In 1965 Max had started painting with ink and after a time he related his practice to Japanese calligraphy. This tradition and its connection to Zen Buddhism has informed his work since then and together with the quatrefoil shape, has become a signature of his work. But more than that, he has internalised the gestures of calligraphy, amplified and expanded them into a painting context so that his gestures become the content and subject of the work. In contract to Jackson Pollock’s gestural paintings created by layers of paint dripped onto canvas, Max applies paint to his canvas in a performance of mark-making. “… he conceives of his brushwork … as a spiritual performance of direct unmediated action.”[iv] This painting is a record of a performance of particular calligraphic gestures and its pattern is created by an interplay between the brushstrokes and the unpainted canvas beneath.

Ganesha was painted at the time when Max also began adding metallic pigments to his paint. He wanted to channel the alchemical qualities of gold and silver and represent their powers of transformation, their preciousness and the sublime. The photograph here can not do the work justice. Its silvery grey metallic surface shimmers and catches the light in unexpected ways and its magnificent scale is best experienced in the ‘flesh’. It is a rose window, an object of contemplation—it makes you think of rivers and mountains and rain—like an abstraction of a Chinese scroll painting.

And it embodies many of the interests that Max will continue to develop throughout his career.

Provenance commissioned from the artist via Gow Langsford Gallery, Auckland, 2000 Literature Dick Frizzell - The Painter (Godwit, Auckland 2009) p. 212-3

Asking for It! revisits Dick Frizzell’s iconic Phantom Series of the 1980s. The original series is a nostalgic nod to his childhood preoccupation with comic books and his favourite character, Lee Falk’s, The Phantom. Frizzell's preoccupation with the division of traditional classifications of academic high and low art are clear to see. While obviously engaging with European Art History, there is also a fluent exchange between the art of advertising and pop culture. Considering Kit Walker and his exploits worthy of heroic treatment, Frizzell remembers “I painted up a portrait of a cannibal chief from a Phantom comic as if I was Goldie portraying a Māori chief”. While there is an obvious friction between his commercial and academic influences, Frizzell's success can be in part attributed to his effective engagement with both, while favouring neither.

Frizzell agreed to revisit the series in 2000 after Dunbar Sloane personally commissioned him to produce a large scale work featuring the Phantom. In a letter to Dunbar regarding the commission, Frizzell states: 'I've come up with an idea...a bit of action featuring the famous Phantom knock out punch, a killer blow.' The artist is portrayed as an ominous black silhouette surveying the action on the wharf in the background.

The artist addresses the commission in Dick Frizzell – The Painter: 'Round about this time - as a bit of a sidebar - Gary (at Gow Langsford, my dear old Dealers forever) talked me into revisiting the landscape for a show with my ex-student and friend Karl Maughan.

And I think this was the first time I actually returned to a theme - broke into my current line of enquiry with a specific brief.

It took a bit of doing...it felt a bit like cheating - backsliding - at complete odds with my Modernist 'linear' training.

But, my God, it felt fantastic when they finally got onto the wall! ...And that show broke the dam for me all of a sudden 'going back' seemed like a perfectly natural thing to do. Dunbar Sloane asked Gary if I’d 'do' him a Phantom painting. I hadn’t been there for 25 years or so! But my curiosity was piqued now (could be primed) - how far could you go with this thing before the Art God in the sky would cast you down?

Dunbar made me an offer I couldn’t refuse and I went there - did it. And of course it was a completely different experience - the scale, the paint, the treatment - it actually felt more like going forwards than going back. I learnt things!'

Provenance Private collection, New Plymouth Sale, Dunbar Sloane Ltd, Wellington, 29 November 2000 (lot 22) Estate of Noel & Margaret Dick, Lower Hutt Reference Colin McCahon online catalogue ref. cm001824

Kaipara Flats Written belongs to a series of swiftly painted landscapes in full vertical format, drawn from the Muriwai region following the establishment of McCahon’s new studio in the area. Inspiration was drawn from the wild and startling beauty of the surrounding hills and headlands, paying special attention to the Kaipara Flats, situated inland and to the east of Kaipara harbour, in the direct and simply stated landscapes.

The coast is a highly spiritual area, believed by Maori to be where souls pass over on their journey from life to death toward Spirit Bay. This spiritual dimension had a profound influence on McCahon and can be sensed within his canvases, through the employment of semi-dissolved and calligraphic brushstrokes and heightened colour creating atmospheric, mystical images with an expressionist quality. Devoid of reference to the picturesque or human habitation the works rely on colour, light and atmospheric effects to make their profound impact. Colour is deliberately intensified to reflect the natural luminosity as well as the elemental vastness of the area, illustrated in Kaipara Flats Written, with strong hues yellow ochre, lyrically capturing the beauty of the area at sunset, a favoured subject of McCahon’s during the period.

Produced shortly after his resignation from his teaching position at the Elam School of Art, Auckland University in 1970, the series marks the reintroduction of colour into his work. It reveals his acceptance of the risks involved with becoming a full-time painter, while also marking the series’ importance as a transitory group of works on which McCahon was to develop and reflect upon during the 1970’s.

To be recorded as n° D 360bis

Mahmoud Saïd was the son of Mohamed Pacha Saïd, Prime Minister of Egypt (1910-1914 and again briefly in 1919).

Saïd was brought up in a privileged aristocratic milieu, and was educated by foreign private tutors. He was also the uncle of the future queen of Egypt, Safinaz Zulficar, better known as Queen Farida.

Saïd went on to attend some of the most prestigious schools in Alexandria and Cairo. In the early 1920s he embarked on a cultural trip across Europe, which included three weeks in Paris in July 1921, whereupon he attended drawing classes at the Académie. as well as Antoine Bourdelle’s school, L’Académie de la Grande Chaumière.

Following his father’s wishes, Saïd pursued a career in law, graduating from the French Law School of Cairo in 1919.

He was appointed assistant judge at the Mixed Courts of Egypt in 1922, first judge in Alexandria in 1937. He only

resigned from his legal career in 1947, aged 50. Up until that point he had painted in his spare time.

Although somewhat figurative in style and sometimes classical in subject matter, Saïd broke away from academic art and the traditions of the West, using them as stepping stones to forge his own signature style. In doing so he became a pioneer of modern Arab painting, producing work that was truly ground breaking.

Saïd’s first solo show was organised by the Atelier d’Alexandrie in 1942, and his first major retrospective exhibition was held at the Gezira Centre for Modern Art in 1951. On the occasion of the eighth anniversary of the 1952 revolution, another retrospective exhibition of Saïd’s works took place at the Museum of Fine Arts of Alexandria, comprising 120 paintings. A third comprehensive exhibition would be organised in the same premises a few months after the artist’s death, in 1964.

Mahmoud Saïd passed away at the family home in Gianaclis, Alexandria on his birthday 8 April 1964. The sculptor Dr. Gaber Hegazy was asked to produce plaster casts of the artist’s face and hands, which are now on view at the Mahmoud Saïd Museum in Alexandria.

In 1969, the museum was sold to the Ministry of Culture, which also acquired a large part of Saïd’s art collection.

The Gianaclis villa was later altered to become what is today’s museum complex. Opened in 1999, it comprises the Museum of Modern Egyptian Art, the Mahmoud Saïd Museum and the Seif and Adham Wanly Museum.

Mohammed Seif al-Din Wanly was born in Alexandria, Egypt, in 1906 into an aristocratic family of Turkish origin. He and his brother, fellow artist Adham Wanly, were educated by private tutors.

In 1929, Ottorino Bicchi (1878 - 1949), an Italian painter from Livorno, opened a studio in Alexandria and the Wanly brothers were among his first students.

After Bicchi left Egypt in 1934, Seif and Adham established their own studio in Alexandria the following year together with their friends, the painter Ahmad Fahmi and the filmmaker Mohammed Bayoumi.

During the 1950's, the two brothers traveled regularly to Europe and visited France, Italy and Spain where they sketched and painted numerous scenes of ballet, opera and theatre performances, as well as landscapes.

When sculptor Ahmad Osman (1907-70) established the Faculty of Fine Arts in

Alexandria in 195, Seif was appointed professor within the painting department. In 1959, the Ministry of Culture commissioned the Wanly brothers to record the architectural heritage of Nubia before its flooding due to the construction of the High Dam in Aswan. The same year, when his brother Adham passed away, Seif lived through a difficult period, which was reflected in his work.

The Wanly brothers were very close in their life and work. They influenced one another and developed a similar style.

Seif only used his first name to sign his paintings while his brother, Adham, signed them by the name of Wanly or E. Wanly (Edham Wanly). Together, they introduced modern pictorial trends in Alexandria and were among the first to depict international subjects, breaking away from the folklorist style of their contemporaries.

The present work, set in Opunohu Bay was completed on this tour. It is a study for Chevalier’s masterpiece Race to the market, Tahiti, 1880, which currently hangs in Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australia.

In 1869 Chevalier left Australia on the royal yacht Galatea in the company of the Duke of Edinburgh. Chevalier had been a member of the entourage for His Royal Highness’s tour of Victoria and Tasmania that began in 1867. Galatea sailed the Pacific and Indian oceans for a year, providing the artist with rich and exotic scenery that inspired his work for years to come.

With no formal artist training, Barraud displayed a natural aptitude for drawing from a young age. Born in Surrey, England,1822, he and his wife Sarah emigrated to New Zealand aboard the Pilgrim in 1849. Formally trained as a chemist he continued this profession upon his arrival in Wellington, establishing a business on Lambton Quay. He remained in this profession until 1887, when his premises accidentally burnt down, forcing him to retire. However art remained his passion.

After his arrival in New Zealand he travelled widely in his spare time over a large area of both the North and South Islands, sketching in the various provinces, and recording his impressions of New Zealand, many of his works distinctively include local figures. Many

of these sketches he later produced into large scale art works, painting predominantly in watercolour. The climax of this activity came when in 1877 he published New Zealand, Graphic and Descriptive, his publishers being Samson, Low, Marston, Searle, and Rivington, the lithographer being C. F. Kell, while the descriptive material was edited by W. T. L. Travers.

The book contained 24 full-page colour lithographs of landscapes and numerous other plain lithographs and woodcuts dealing with aspects of native life in New Zealand

Hugh Littleton Norris British (1863-1942) The following eight works are from the Norris Family Collection, previously of Michelmersh Court, Romsey.

Born on 25 March 1863, the third son of Archdeacon Norris of Bristol. Norris was educated at Charterhouse & Trinity College before he became an art student. In his earlier years as a professional artist he shared a studio with Charles Furse.

His earlier work included portraits in oils, but his intense love of nature prevailed, and it is as a watercolour artist that his work has long been known. He married Mabel Stevenson of Hedgerley Park, Bucks and they had three sons.

Aiko Groot graduated from Elam School of Fine Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1994. His works have appeared at numerous exhibitions around New Zealand and can be found in both public and private collections.

Simon Manchester (1958-2019) We are saddened by the sudden passing of our former Studio Ceramics & Applied Arts Consultant, Simon Manchester in July.

Simon's unbridled passion for ceramics, his immense knowledge and friendship will be greatly missed.

In memory we have republished Rick Rudd's tribute from Simon's Memorial Service. Most appropriately Simon's collection will live on being bequest to Rudd's Quartz Museum, Whanganui.

"I don’t remember when I first met Simon.

It was probably at a major exhibition opening when everyone was loud and excited.

Later, when I began buying work for my New Zealand collection, frequenting Dunbar Sloane auctions in Wellington, I came to know him better. In him, I think I recognized a part of myself, the passion and a degree of mad obsession that characterizes the determined collector.

es alike. He amassed over two thousand ceramic works and visitors to his apartment had to be careful where they walked or moved. Every horizontal surface, including most of the floor, was covered with pots.

From the tiny to the enormous, even the walls had pieces hanging on them. To Simon big was good but size aside, the collection is liberally scattered with nationally significant pieces.

You wouldn’t call our conversations talking, they were more like ravings, animated discussions about pots, or potters, agreement or disagreement, they were always lively and fun. These conversations often took place late at night on the phone. His knowledge of the history of New Zealand studio ceramics was encyclopedic and he had strong connections to many present day practitioners.

The breadth of his ceramic collection was extensive from the pioneer potters of the early and mid twentieth century, to the Anglo-Oriental influenced potters of the ‘60s and ‘70s, to the newer potters of the ‘80s onwards and to the most important potters of today. In some cases, he would have a few pieces of a potter’s work, rarely one example, often numerous works constituting a collection within the collection. He loved to have variations and multiples, juxtapositions, where pieces could play against and with each other.

Simon began collecting in the late 1980s and in over thirty years bought, sold, handled and processed who knows how many ceramic works. Marked or unmarked, he could identify the works of more potters than anyone else I know. Through this knowledge and experience his collection has become one of, if not the biggest, and certainly one of the most important pottery collections in the country.

In handling so many pieces his experienced eye informed his gut instinctively what was merely good and what was really special.

Intellectualizing came later.

The collection was fluid. Simon was not averse to selling something in order to acquire a more important work and the thrill of the chase was enlivening. The achievement of an exceptional acquisition excited an ecstatic feeling.

He got to know and become friends with many of the potters whose works he collected and was a frequent purchasing patron at dealer galleries and auction hous-

Simon’s collection was not just for his own enjoyment. He wanted to share it. There can have been few major curated historical ceramic exhibitions organized by museums or galleries that have not included works borrowed from him. He has always been generous in lending works. In some cases, they could be away for years at a time.

When I set up a museum in Whanganui, he offered to lend a group of works, I didn’t even have to ask. He wanted to be a part of what I was doing. When the most recent exhibition, the work of Andy Kingston, Paul Maseyk and Richard Stratton arrived I opened a box to find The Banker’s Dog by Richard Stratton. It’s a ridiculously fragile work. I phoned Simon and said “I don’t even want to lift it out of the box and I’m too scared to have it on show”. He came straight back with “I want it to be seen.” It has certainly been seen and continues to wow visitors.

I remember after the earthquake, when he had lost so many pots he was really down.

Eventually, he had some pieces restored and began buying more works again. I don’t think anything could quench his passion for ceramics. His enthusiasm was infectious. I wonder how many collectors have been encouraged, inspired and hooked on collecting by his example.

Simon has given so much to New Zealand’s ceramic community and environment, as a patron to living potters, by respecting and attempting to raise the desirability and values of works on the secondary market, his involvement with the Blumhardt Foundation and of course, by building a collection of national significance.

The Simon Manchester Collection is a testament to his passion and will be his legacy for New Zealand to enjoy. When I visited him less than two weeks ago he expressed the wish that his collection of ceramics should go to the Rick Rudd Foundation, a charitable trust I set up six years ago. I made the promise to him that I would do my very best for it. My hope is that through permanent and temporary exhibitions at Quartz, Museum of Studio and Ceramics in Whanganui and lending to other institutions as Simon has done so often in the past the collection will quietly educate and be enjoyed by as many people as possible.

My fellow Trustees and I intend to create a space where his contribution can be contemplated, remembered and celebrated.

Whenever we finished our phone conversation Simon would always address me with “my friend” an accolade I shall cherish.

Whenever I think of the collection and “should I show it this way? Would Simon like that?” I’ll hope to hear in the ether those two little words softly spoken “SHIT YEAH” Rick Rudd, 25 July 2019
