JOHN WEEKS 1886 - 1965
Works from the artist’s Estate Collection
To be sold unreserved
John Weeks was born in Devonshire, England. His family sailed to New Zealand in 1892, arriving when he was aged six. His parents ran a dairy farm for several years near Te Awamutu, before settling in rural Northcote, Auckland where the family home was to remain. Weeks soon embarked on part time classes at Elam Art School from 1907-1909 while working as a signwriter. In the years prior to World War I, Weeks visited England with his family, sketched throughout New South Wales, and took classes at Sydney Technical College. He returned home in 1915 and later enlisted with the New Zealand Medical Corps in early 1917.
Returning from Britain in late 1919, the artist entered a busy period exhibiting nationally and attracting attention and praise. He also taught signwriting and lettering classes alongside parttime study at Canterbury College School of Art, then under the directorship of Archibald Nicoll. In 1923 Weeks travelled to Edinburgh where he lodged with the artist Francis McCracken. He attended Edinburgh College of Art, and the Royal Scottish Academy of Painting where he took life classes. Weeks exhibited with the Academy, and in 1924 his paintings featured in the New Zealand display of the British Exhibition at Wembley. The following year Weeks left for Paris, enrolling in André Lhôte’s Académy Montparnasse in 1926. The School attracted
many international students keen to learn Lhôte’s approach to art and Cubism. At this time Weeks painted in a largely post-impressionist manner, his subjects often canals and street scenes. Weeks returned again to Lhôte’s Academy with enthusiasm in early 1929 after a long trip through Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia via the South of France, Italy and Corsica. On his return to New Zealand he began teaching in1930 at Auckland’s Elam School of Art, retiring in 1954.
A diverse and well respected artist, he was widely regarded as a leading painter and teacher in Auckland in the 1930s and 1940s, and a significant figure in national art. Many artists, including Louise Henderson, sought his advice. Weeks lost around 200 works in a fire at Elam in early 1949. He continued to paint while teaching, caring for his father and managing the family property. In 1954 he took part in the Auckland Art Gallery’s Object and Image exhibition along with Louise Henderson, Colin McCahon, Milan Mrkusich, Ross Fraser and Michael Nicholson. A touring retrospective exhibition of Week’s work, was held in 1955. Ronald O’Reilly, Christchurch City Librarian and art critic, deemed it … a magnificent and monumental show. Weeks received an O.B.E for his services to painting in 1958.

Belgium born De Vel spent his student years at the Academie Royal des Beaux Arts, Brussels, which he attended at age 17 from 1941 to 1945. I was taught to paint directly from life, so I could learn to visualise things as an artist in colour, just like the Impressionists. Now these lessons are in my blood, a part of me.
One of his most influencial tutors was Alfred Bastien, a friend of Claude Monet and John Singer Sargent. Gaston believes he was one of the last painters to have been taught in the classical and impressionistic fashion by a tutor directly involved with some of the leading artists of that movement. In 1960 he arrived in New Zealand from the Belgium Congo with nothing but peace and safety - it was worth losing everything just for that, Gaston said in an interview with the Auckland Star.
He was awarded the Kelliher Art Prize in 1968. The 1980s saw several sellout exhibitions in Auckland and at Lewis Paape Gallery, Lower Hutt. Gaston’s work is part of the permanent collection of Dunedin Public Art Gallery.

Garden and Pond Oil on card 43.5 x 64
$1,500 - 2,500
Gabrielle Hope was born in Lower Hutt, she attended Auckland’s Diocesan School for Girls and studied at Elam School of Fine arts. The mother of two children, she lived in Whitford, Waiheke Island and in 1950 purchased a home in Tohunga Crescent, Parnell. Gabrielle’s wide circle of friends included fellow artists Helen Brown, Jan Nigro, Louise Henderson, Robert Nettleton Field, Eric Lee Johnson, Colin & Anne McCahon and Lincoln Lee.
Her subject matter extensively encompasses still lifes, landscapes, figures, animals and portraits. The influence of Picasso, and an admiration of Frances Hodgkins is reflected in Hope’s work as is her fascination with western and eastern occult philosophies and symbolism. From 1946 she exhibited with the Auckland and Hamilton Society of Arts and the Auckland City Art Gallery in 1955/56.
From today’s perspective Gabrielle Hope’s work is more vital and modern than ever. There is an uncompromised bravery of brushstroke, a quality of perception leaving no doubt that she was a woman artist ahead of her time.
The artist’s early death at just forty six years of age cut short a career of already considerable achievement.

KEITH PATTERSON 1925 - 1993
Works from the artist’s Estate Collection To be sold unreserved
Keith Patterson was an expatriate New Zealand artist who lived in Spain from 1950 until the late 1980s. He was one of a group of artists who emerged just after World War II, younger than more established figures such as Colin McCahon, Toss Woollaston and Rita Angus. As with his contemporary, the painter Denis Knight Turner, Patterson spent many years living abroad and has been slow to gain deserved recognition in the land of his birth.
As a young Aucklander, Patterson was a member of the literary and artistic circle which admired the efforts of novelist Frank Sargeson in creating a writing style which could truly be said to convey the way New Zealanders thought, felt and spoke. This group of painters and writers, are known as the Landfall generation after the periodical which first published their work. The prevailing sentiment of this group was to create work which distinctively reflected the New Zealand way of life.
In his painting, Patterson combined this spirit of creative nationalism with an awareness and appreciation of the ground-breaking work being carried out by European modernists.

Auction 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.
CONTEMPORARY & MODERN Art
Twice a year our Modern & Contemporary Art auctions play an integral role in enabling market access to the most sought-after artists who have defined New Zealand’s art narrative over the past 50-years. These sales never fail to present an exciting offering of both painting and sculpture by a range of our modern and contemporary greats. Spanning that vital period from the establishment of mid-century modernism through to the cutting edge of our national contemporary art discourse, this is an acclaimed and significant event in the auction calendar. Our new state-ofthe-art premises will ensure contemporary art is now exhibited and auctioned in a dynamic and appropriate environment.

Artists’ Estates & Collectable Art Single Owner Auctions
The buzz generated by our Artists’ Estates & Collectable Art auctions reflects the popularity of this sale: 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. Because this auction specifically caters to the more affordable end of the market - generally presenting works valued at $5,000 and less, this is an exciting opportunity to unearth some real treasures. Artists’ Estates & Collectable Art auctions offer a number lower-priced 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.
