App and bidding platform developed during lockdown is a key component in contributing to our overall market growth. Whilst technology is embraced, and its widely spread benefits acknowledged, it is the many personal and professional relationships established
For many, 2020 will be be remembered as the Year of Banksy. Since June, International Art Centre has auctioned works by the elusive street artist in excess of $1.5 million. In addition to this, private treaty, offshore transactions have also been concluded. Some of the Banksy prints seen at auction were purchased by young, ex-pat New Zealanders living in London during the print releases of 2003 to 2010. One work was recently consigned from Sydney. Despite spirited international bidding, many of the Banksy’s were secured by successful New Zealand bidders and will remain within our shores.
For infomation on how to sell works by Banksy, or advice on buying please contact Richard Thomson richard@artcntr.co.nz Mob +64 274 751071
This landmark sale achived $3.6 million, the highest art auction total for 2020. Several new records were set for New Zealand artists and the highest price paid for a Banksy print in Australasia.

Untitled (Street Urchin)
Oil on canvas 91.5 x 50
Signed & dated 1952
$8,000 - 12,000
n 1952, Douglas was in his second year of what was to become permanent residency in France. Having spent six months living and working au pair on a farm in foothills of the French Riviera, and taught English at an elite boys’ school in Paris, he was becoming acclimatised. By mid-year, he decided to dedicate himself completely to painting and no longer rely on other jobs to get by.
Later he recalled: “From then on came the years of inevitable vicissitudes, allowing me to have experiences of life in everything – from palaces to trash cans. The stretches of hardship had the effect of confirming me in what I did and always will do: paint.”
Always an acute observer, Douglas was now seeing beyond the postcard sights and scenes and starting to portray life in France as the locals lived it – particularly in his new hand-to-mouth existence as he struggled to find a foothold in the European art market, often reduced to making choices whether to eat or buy more painting materials.
Douglas never saw himself as miserable or destitute, even in his most desperate times – he was fixed on a certain course and found the experience deeply uncomfortable but also richly illuminating. In this frame of mind, immersed in the squalor of city’s underbelly for the first time, he would have been very conscious of the wretchedness of those around him, and identified with this boy. The years after World War II were harrowing for many poor families and displaced people seeking refuge in France, with food and goods rationing continuing into the 1950s, and the economy shattered.
Of course, there have always been beggars on the streets of Paris, homeless children and professional tramps. And no end of gullible tourists, either. For this urchin with the imploring eyes, the tall, obviously foreign stranger would have to be a good prospect for a handout.
‘Street Urchin’ does not appear to have been exhibited in New Zealand, unless perhaps at Douglas’ solo exhibition in Andrew Brooke’s new Gallery 91 (Cashel Street) Christchurch in June-July 1959, for which no catalogue has been found. A review of the show in The Press on 3 July 1959 notes: ‘Mr MacDiarmid works in floating patches of colour and line. He applies the paint mainly with a knife, doing so with verve and unusual subtlety. He does not use the trowel-andmortar method of knife painting commonly employed by New Zealand painters; he sweeps the paint on to the very smooth canvas which he uses with broad, sometimes semi-transparent strokes.’
However, it is more likely that the painting came to New Zealand early in 1956, when his close friend and former lover, composer Douglas Lilburn returned home to Wellington from an overseas sabbatical with a bundle of paintings in his suitcases for private sale. Lilburn and Douglas’ university music professor Frederick Page (husband of his first painting mentor Evelyn Page) acted as MacDiarmid’s unofficial art agents in New Zealand for some years, selling paintings within their personal and professional circles to keep their young friend afloat.

At the age of eleven Vera Cummings was awarded a scholarship to attend Elam School of Fine Arts. She was one of the youngest pupils to attend the school. From here she became a pupil of Goldie, and was considered the only one to produce the same natural colour of Maori skin as Goldie painted.
Her studies of Maori were in great demand for sending overseas and as well as choosing the same subjects as Goldie, for example Sophia Grey (Guide Sophia), she painted many other well known Maori from the Auckland area.

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.
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.
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.
A quick, easy and reliable solution to affordable 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 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 retain this as a permanent sale category.
