Gretchen Albrecht has an international reputation as one of New Zealand’s most highly regarded painters. Her work is known for its geometry, an emotional use of colour and a constant evolution of influences, media and technique. Graduating with Honours from Elam School of Fine Arts in 1964, Albrecht taught for some years. In the late 1970s she took a 13 month trip to Europe and the United States, back in New Zealand she was awarded the Frances Hodgkins Fellowship at the University of Otago in 1981. During that year in Dunedin, Albrecht began working on the lunette shaped canvases which she calls Hemispheres. Her recent travels proved to be a catalyst, with European paintings and art history referenced in the titles of works such as Giotto’s Blue and Lunette (for Fra Angelico). Of this time the artist says: I knew I wanted the hemisphere in 1981. I went to Dunedin with quadrants, the hemisphere happened in the studio, I put the quadrants together. I wanted to break out of the rectangle and the square and to introduce a curve. In 1989 Albrecht moulded the Hemispheres into the Oval of a map, allowing her to encompass a whole world containing East-West and North-South correlations and oppositions. Albrecht says: Ovals are a gentle shape, what happens in the top part could be reflected in the bottom half so I could have a continuous movement of paint, repetition and rhythm, spiralling, all en-circling, constantly in-flux which I like very much.

The 2002 retrospective exhibition of Albrecht’s work held at the Auckland Art Gallery meet with great acclaim. Dunedin Public Art Gallery and the City Gallery, Wellington held a 2005 retrospective of Oval and Hemisphere paintings that same year, Mark Hutchins Gallery, Wellington exhibited paintings from the 1980s through to 2000 alongside Albrecht’s recent stainless steel sculptures. In 2009 Albrecht began working on a new series of rectangular paintings featuring oval shaped vortices of colour combined with slender horizontal geometric figures. The first of these paintings were exhibited in Between Paint and Nature, Nadene Milne Gallery, Arrowtown and Rosea, Mark Hutchins Gallery, Wellington. 2010 saw Albrecht’s solo exhibition, Roses in the Snow, Sue Crockford Gallery, Auckland. A further solo exhibition was held in 2014 at Two Rooms, Auckland. The paintings exhibited featured the three stretcher shapes of hemispheres, ovals and rectangles. With a career spanning five decades Gretchen Albrecht’s work is held in the collections of Auckland Art Gallery,The Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa, Tongarewa, the Gallery of New South Wales and the Newcastle Art Gallery, Australia.

The eloquence of painting is that it wordlessly pays homage, serenades a lover or stands in awe. Wordlessly, yet expressively: with a thousand brushstrokes; the gestures of a loaded brush; the demeanour of composition; and with chromatic intensity. This painting says ‘I have no words.’ What words could be substituted? This painting is the expression of a moment where others of us might stand on the hilltop and simply say “Wow!!” – Yeah, nah…. Not adequate. Christchurch born Clark began taking art classes as a sixteen year old at the Canterbury College of Art and by the age of twenty was teaching there part time. Though he began exhibiting and receiving mural commissions almost immediately, he also needed regular income and turned to commercial art through the 1930s in a restless succession of jobs in Christchurch, Dunedin and Wellington. The Second World War seemed to offer even wider horizons for the confident young artist and so he offered his services as war artist to then Prime Minister, Peter Fraser in 1942 and subsequently served with the 3rd New Zealand Division in the Pacific.
South Westland by Russell Clark is painted a good dozen years into this South Island life and reveals the depth of his confidence and the vibrancy of his joy in painting. During the late 1940s he abandoned atmospheric effects in his paintings for broad planes and bolder colour and the 1950s became his most experimental and productive phase as an artist. This painting, completed in 1959, comes at the pinnacle of his easel painting; and just at the moment before painting became secondary to sculpture for him; and it was in sculpture, that Clark became one of the most important pioneers of Modern public art in New Zealand. We see the move and the later achievements prefigured in South Westland. The treatment of the foreground clearly indicates his sculptural concerns and the lessons he was absorbing, even at this mature stage in his career, from the likes of Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore with its bold, almost impasto facets, angular planes and strong chiaroscuro. It is an unusual case in which we can describe this work as coming from the peak of the artist’s painting career while also being transitional in relation to his sculptural career. Rob Garrett
After his war service, he returned to Wellington and his career in advertising; but found this return to a former life unsatisfactory and quit Wellington and advertising for a job at the Canterbury School of Art and a life in Christchurch where he spent the remainder of his career.

EXHIBITED BINNEY 1959 - 1989 A Survey. A Retrospective Exhibition of Don Binney’s works, 19 August - 17 September 1989 The Fisher Gallery, Pakuranga, Auckland
Don Binney is well known for his clean-edged modernist paintings of birds in the landscapes of New Zealand. In his search for subject, he is inspired by dramatic wilderness areas and environments, which he draws from to express both his passion for painting and his love of ornithology and nature. In an interview with Patricia Sarr and Tom Turner in 1977, Binney described his motivation for painting: I paint and draw because I’m thoroughly committed to and involved with environmental, natural stimuli - the landscape, the wild-life...you must approach the landscape or the bush with reverence. Binney’s earliest paintings were predominately landscapes, influences which can be traced to styles found popular in America in the 1930’s. This style removes small detail and concentrates on landform and rhythmic curves, Rita Angus, Doris Lusk and William Sutton also took influence from this period. Binney’s early works had an abstract feel to them, representing landscape in an almost cubist-style of brushwork. As his work matured, he began to depict birds as the central concern in this paintings, the landscape became more of a backdrop to the main focus.
Eventually though, landscape and birds shared his attentions equally, and he produced many works which talk of New Zealand’s environmental concerns and birdlife. Kairarara Kaka Variant 1982 - 83 is a particularly striking work, painted with thick brushstrokes in a painterly style, in this sense it harks back to earlier pieces by Binney. The paint application is fairly patterned in areas, paint appearing quite viscous and thick, making the work just as captivating close-up as from afar. The structure of the composition allows for several focal points in the work, the eye is first drawn to the bird and then through the landscape to the fence in the fore. This same fence is depicted in a later work by the artist entitled Kaka, 1984, Binney often included architectural structures or monuments which symbolised a human presence in his painting. It is clear here that this is not an ideal land before human intervention, it is New Zealand in the time the artist painted it. This work is an excellent example of Binney’s work from this era, portraying the bird, landscape and human elements in the one painting. From text affixed verso -The Fisher Gallery, Pakuranga

In Poland, as in other parts of Europe, dark-plumaged crows can occasionally be seen gathered around their deceased own as if mourning for the dead bird. The sight is well-known. The phenomena of these funereal birds standing around carefully studying the victim as a group, has become known as the Crows Funeral for obvious anthropomorphic reasons. What is actually happening, according to recent research, is the crows are trying to identify the cause of death and by association the ‘bringer of harm’ in order to know how to avoid a similar fate. It is now known that where the death has been caused by a creature of prey or human that is identifiable, the participating crows are able to pass this knowledge on to other crows that were not present at the ‘funeral’ and the recognition of the perpetrator persists, and in fact grows for months afterwards. Hammond’s birds, also relatively still, clustered in groups, have also taken on mythic proportions in writing and conversation since the artist’s careerchanging visit to New Zealand’s sub-Antarctic islands in 1989. Immediately on his return his works were populated with attenuated bird figures, sometimes half-human half-bird. The artist’s southern epiphany also awakened an interest in the 19th century ornithologist Sir Walter Buller, who was responsible, almost in equal measure for the lavish documentation of many species that became extinct before the 20th century and for contributing to their extinction through his practice of killing, stuffing and distributing vast numbers of birds for ornithological collections.
44 Important & Rare Art 6:30pm Wednesday 11 November 2015
It is clear therefore that the symbolic power of Hammond’s paintings, drawings and lithographs address the threat to New Zealand wildlife by humans, past, present and future. Hammond’s birds stand both as witness and accuser in Buller’s world, for the artist conjures a primordial avian world, not of delicate vulnerability, but of tooth and claw power. His birds lay in wait, watch, stalk and loom over the human forms that occasionally appear in their midst or in the distance. In Untitled (II) from 2000 we are taken behind the scenes. The work seems like a page from the ‘Avian Defence Ministry’s Home Guard Manual’. The bird with its head above the clouds is part of the collective early-warning system. The large bird on the right demonstrates the armoury of the land: strong-arm hills for protection and massive, uprooted trees as weapons. Finally, methods of capture are indicated with the steel hoop surrounding the kneeling figure in the middle foreground. Just as Crows’ funerals are forensic gatherings in order to divine safe passage in the future: to name, know and warn of the enemy; Hammond’s birds gather, in preparation for the inevitable return of devastation. Their premonition of future harm musters them to plan carefully and then to stand with singularly menacing threat, ready to repel their enemies rather than flee. Rob Garrett

PROVENANCE Acquired directly from the artist, 1962 Estate of Sylvia Constance Ashton-Warner MBE
1899 - 1988 Seated Nude, 1962 Oil on canvas board 60 x 75 Signed ESTIMATE $60,000 - 80,000
Evelyn Page is renowned as one of New Zealand’s foremost colourists and for the independent conviction she maintained throughout her career. Through her early lessons and experiences in Christchurch Page became steeped in the lessons of the British School. Her own use of high-keyed colour dates from the late 1920s, possibly influenced by the return to Christchurch in 1925 of the artist’s friend Margaret Anderson after two years of travel full of enthusiasm for contemporary French and British painting. Then, by the 1960s she had also studied many of the key colourists of European Modernism, absorbing the colour lessons of Vuillard, Bonnard and Matisse, the compositional structures of Cézanne’s figure paintings and the luscious painterly structure of form achieved by Matthew Smith. However her responses to the mentors and possible influences of Modernism were wilfully independent. On the one hand she seemed impervious to the tendency of her peers to follow the innovative front lines of midcentury European Modernism; and on the other hand, even when she was embracing the discoveries of the Post-Impressionists, it was on her own terms, only responding to those aspects of their work that reinforced her own preoccupations with colour. The decade of Seated Nude, 1962 was particularly rich for Evelyn Page, who was now in her sixties. Her children were grown; and she had created two environments that stimulated her creativity: the lime-edged orchard garden at Waikanae and the light-filled home in Hobson Street, Wellington. After more than four decades of working and painting she was finally receiving national recognition, for instance being included in the third Eight New Zealand Painters exhibition, toured by the Auckland City Art Gallery from October 1959. There was international regard too, when in 1962 the English art critic Sir Herbert Read and his wife came to dinner with Evelyn and
52 Important & Rare Art 6:30pm Wednesday 11 November 2015
Frederick Page at their Hobson Street home and he was impressed by one of the two nude paintings she made that year. By the early 1960s her joy at being able to use a setting such as her garden at Waikanae for many outdoor studies, nudes and figure groups was palpable in the paintings themselves. Seated Nude, 1962 is one such painting. Serene; showing the artist’s ability to absorb the structural lessons of Paul Cézanne and Matthew Smith without being a slave to either; and finding her way with a verdant and fleshy colour palette that is delicately haunted by French PostImpressionism and redolent of the New Zealand outdoors at the same time. More than an art history lesson, Seated Nude 1962 communicates Page’s joyful celebration of life. The painting was purchased by the artist’s friend Sylvia Ashton-Warner. Sylvia Ashton-Warner was born in Stratford, Taranaki in 1908. She was a novelist, autobiographer and educational pioneer. Two of her novels were listed in Time magazine’s top ten books of the year. She won the New Zealand Book Award for Non-Fiction in 1980. In 1982 she was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire for services to education and literature. Her life story was adapted for the 1985 biographical film Sylvia, based on her work and writings. The Faculty of Education library at The University of Auckland where Ashton-Warner trained in the late 1920s, was named the Sylvia Ashton-Warner Library in 1987. The Ashton School in the Dominican Republic was founded in 1998 and was named in honour of Ashton-Warner, whose teaching methods inspired the school. Ashton-Warner died in Tauranga 1984.

Peter McIntyre was born in Dunedin. His father, a lithographic artist, founded Dunedin’s Caxton Printing Company. Young McIntyre attended Otago Boys’ High School and the University of Otago. He studied painting under Dunedin artist Alfred O’Keeffe. McIntrye left New Zealand to study at London’s Slade School of Art from 1931 until 1934. He worked in Britain as a free-lance artist until enlisting in 1939 with the 34th Anti-Tank Battery, a New Zealand unit formed in London. In 1941 whilst serving in Egypt, he was appointed as New Zealand’s official war artist by Major General Freyberg. From 1941 to 1945 McIntyre recorded action in Crete, North Africa and Italy. His work was exhibited in New Zealand and Europe and reproduced in magazines such as the Illustrated London News and the New Zealand Listener. His work from this period belongs to the collection of war art at the National Archives in Wellington. Returning to New Zealand in 1946 McIntyre began a long and illustrious post war career. He lived and exhibited in Wellington, frequently undertaking painting trips abroad. In 1962 A H & A W Reed published The Painted Years, the first of eight books he would illustrate and write between then and 1981. Travels to Antarctica, Hong Kong, the Pacific Islands and the American West provided material for these popular publications.

McIntyre owned a holiday cottage in Kakahi which became both his studio and retreat. The King Country inspired some of the artist’s finest work and he painted the landscape, inhabitants, native bush, rivers and farming scenes of the central North Island. The first two lots, King Country Musterer and King Country Farmer convey the artist’s proficiency with both landscape and personalities of the region. In 1970 McIntyre was awarded an OBE. A retrospective exhibition of McIntyre’s war paintings was held at the City Gallery in Wellington in 1995. Opening on 22 July, the show had been visited by more than 22,000 people when the artist died in Wellington on 11 September. Today he is recognised as one of New Zealand’s most important landscape artists. King Country Musterer features Kakahi local Ray Bennett with horse and dogs c.1970. A preliminary study of this work appears p. 28 Kakaki, New Zealand, Peter McIntyre, A H & A W Reed, 1972.

King Country Farmer features the artist’s friend and colourful local Sonny Te Ahuru. He was from a well known Kakahi whanau. It is the store that one meets the personalities and the characters of the village. There is Rosie and her husband Mac, the hardest working farmer I know, forever bringing another field into production out of the wilderness of scrub and blackberries. There is Mrs Long, the retired postmistress, who makes jam and marmalade she doesn’t want, for the sheer joy of making it. She presents many jars of it to my wife, together with jars of pickle onions. There is Mr Ham, my farmer neighbour with his kindly ways and beautiful Maori voice. There is my old friend Dick Barnett. Although sorely crippled I have seen him putting

There is Jimmy Spiers, a Scot who has lived all over the world, speaks Russian and German and prefers the quiet of Kakahi to any place on earth. There are the Allen Twins, as alike as two peas, and their wives who are sisters. There are Bennetts from across the river, Dempseys and Johnstons who farm on the outskirts of the village, our good friends Polly Te Ahuru and her husband ( Sonny ) and a swarm of Maori children.

Years ago I went far up the Rangitikei beyond Taihape to visit my friend David Russell, whose farm at that time was as far as you could drive up the river into the bush. The river is so deep between high paapa cliffs that down at the bottom where the river flows there is only a sort of twilight, even on a sunny day. Once I crossed the gorge at a wider place in the bush in a tray slung on a logger’s wire rope, and we sat in mid-air watching a large trout feed in the

In Kakahi much of what makes life worth living has been preserved: it’s countryside has retained some of the beauty that made New Zealand unique. I know every pool on it’s miles of river, every track in it’s surrounding bush. It has been my escape and hideout from an ever more strident and ugly world, my refuge from the inane persecution of the telephone. It has restored my faith in this world as a place to live in and has bought to me like heaped-up riches, the beauty of the bush and rivers of my country, New Zealand, for Kakahi is New Zealand.

The King Country is a region of the western North Island of New Zealand. It extends approximately from the Kawhia Harbour and the town of Otorohanga in the north to the upper reaches of the Whanganui River in the south, and from the Hauhungaroa and Rangitoto Ranges in the east to near the Tasman Sea in the west. It comprises hill country, large parts of which are forested. The term King Country dates from the New Zealand Wars of the 1860s, when colonial forces invaded the Waikato and forces of the Maori King Movement withdrew south of what was called the aukati, or boundary, a line of pa alongside the Puniu River near Kihikihi. Land behind the aukati remained native territory, with Europeans warned they crossed it under threat of death.

The Rangitikei River, it’s headwaters located to the southeast of Lake Taupo in the Kaimanawa Ranges stretches 185 kilometres, making it one of the New Zealand’s longest rivers. It flows from the Central Plateau south past Taihape, Mangaweka, Hunterville, Marton, Bulls and to the South Taranaki Bight at Tangimoana, 40 kilometres southeast of Wanganui. The river gives its name to the surrounding Rangitikei District. In 1897 the river flooded and all six bridges over it were damaged or destroyed. The port at the mouth of the river was also washed away and never rebuilt. The river is a popular leisure and recreation area for jetboating, white water rafting, kayaking, fishing and includes public camping grounds along its banks. Its sheer vertical paapa (clay) cliffs, unique to this part of New Zealand, and deep canyons provide the perfect setting for adventure activities.

The lush green bush is the crowning glory of my country and in its depths the tui and bellbird sing the purest song of them all.

1821 - 1888 Mosgiel Woollen Mill Watercolour 40 x 30 Signed & dated 1878
Born at Dromoland Castle County Clare, Ireland in 1821 George O’Brien was the fifth son of Admiral Robert O’Brien, a direct descendant of Murrough O’Brien, 57th King of Thomond, and of Brian Boroimhe, Monarch of Ireland. George O’Brien was a cousin of William Smith O’Brien (1803-1864) deported to Tasmania for his part in the 1848 Young Ireland uprising, and was also a cousin of James Fitzgerald, who was at one time Superintendent of the Canterbury Province in New Zealand. Despite these distinguished connections, the family was not well-heeled. Young George O’Brien may have been trained by a brother as a civil engineer. His parents died when he was young and at an early age he was in Melbourne Australia, where views of the town dated 1839 and 1840 survive in the collection of the state library. He left soon afterwards but had returned to Melbourne by 1850 arriving from London on the Midlothian. O’Brien worked as a draughtsman in the surveyor’s office and in 1853 married Jane Mashford at St James Church, Melbourne. He was active in the Victoria Fine Arts Society and by 1854 was advertising his services as an architect and surveyor. He exhibited paintings in 1856 and 1858 and nine signed and dated watercolours of St Kilda and nearby places in Melbourne are recorded. By December 1863 O’Brien was living at Duncan Street, Dunedin, no doubt attracted by the prosperity induced during the Otago goldrushes. He worked as a civil engineer and was employed by the Town Board supplying them with architectural perspectives of buildings designed by several Dunedin firms.
A number of O’Brien’s watercolours were exhibited in the 1865 Dunedin Industrial Exhibition. He associated with W M Hodgkins, a lawyer and aspiring watercolour painter who became very influential in Dunedin’s art world. O’Brien may have given Hodgkins some instruction. O’Brien’s manner showed his background in measured draughtsmanship but also represented something of neo-classical painting. In the colonial context he was unusual in his use of buildings and townscape as his subject matter. In 1876 he attended a meeting of the Otago Art Society and was well-represented in that body’s inaugural annual exhibition held later that year. O’Brien’s paintings were ill-received by one critic, possibly Thomas Bracken, reflecting the colonial adoption of the European taste for Turneresque Romantic landscape. Nevertheless, when O’Brien’s wife died in 1879, leaving him with five daughters to raise, he embarked on a career as a professional artist. O’Brien was of a versatile and energetic disposition, travelling around southern New Zealand, but also a heavy drinker and immensely overweight. His habits were bohemian and eventually his oldest daughter, now married, removed her younger siblings while O’Brien continued lodging with a sailor and his wife in a poorer part of the city. He spent a year in Auckland in 1887, but returned to Dunedin where he died in August 1888. His landlady inherited his residual collection and he was interred in a then unmarked grave in the northern cemetery. This significant watercolour is possibly the best example to appear on the market. It was held for many years in the collection of the late Dr Neville Hogg until sold by auction in 1993.

William Fox arrived in Wellington in 1842 and become editor of New Zealand Gazette and Britannia Spectator, before being appointed Resident Agent at Nelson for the New Zealand Company in 1843. He subsequently played a leading part in politics and held the office of Premier on four occasions. He was knighted in 1879. In his early years in New Zealand Fox carried out much exploration in the Wairarapa and in the South Island. Fox’s greatest contribution to New Zealand history after the struggle for self-government in the 1850s, was his work in Taranaki in the early 1880s as a member of the West Coast Commission, which consisted of Francis Dillon Bell and himself. A third commissioner, Hone Mohi Tawhai, declined to serve when he heard that his colleagues were to be Fox and Bell. No doubt he questioned the propriety of their appointments. The Commission was charged with the duty of inquiring into the numerous promises and engagements allegedly made by successive government officials to the Taranaki Maori, and into all the disputed land claims in that province. Fox Glacier was named to commemorate Fox’s visit to the region as Prime Minister of New Zealand in 1872. The Wairarapa town of Foxton, founded in 1885, was also named after him. In his later years Fox continued to undertake considerable physical exercise, climbing Mount Taranaki in 1892, aged 80. He died in Auckland in 1893.

Eight photographs by Laurence Aberhart Nelson born Laurence Aberhart is acknowledged as one of the forefathers of New Zealand’s contemporary photographic history. Based in Russell, Northland since the early 1970s Aberhart has worked and exhibited internationally. His first solo exhibition was held at Peter McLeavey Gallery, Wellington in 1978. Over the last forty years Aberhart has produced an unrivalled body of work. Meticulously completing a number of photographic projects with subject matter ranging from topography to architecture exteriors and interiors, found objects, Maori carvings and portraits. Aberhart often works with an old-fashioned view camera using available light. Of his work, he says; I’m trying to make, in as gentle a way as possible, people in our society look at stuff in the social landscape. His photographs are held in the collections of all public New Zealand galleries. International institutions include three Australian State galleries, Macau’s Museum of Art, Readers Digest Collection and Hallmark Card Collection, USA, Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, and Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. Laurence was the recipient of an Arts Foundation Laureate Award in 2013. In 2015 Dunedin Public Art Gallery arranged a touring exhibition of Aberhart photographs of Australasian World War I memorials compiled over thirty years.
