Julian Dashper Untitled, Drumskin Orange & Blue, 1996 Vinyl on drumhead 53 x 53 $35,000 - 45,000

Provenance Acquired from Hamish McKay, Wellington Julian Dashper is one of the most renowned reductive artists of his generation. Working across a wide array of media for nearly three decades, Dashper produced conceptually and aesthetically rigorous paintings, works on paper, installations, albums, performances, and ephemera. Much of his work concerns the connection between abstract art and popular culture.

One recurring theme is the reading of international Modernism in New Zealand art.

Dashper’s artistic practice encompassed a wide range of disciplines, including painting, sculpture, installation, and conceptual art. He was known for his minimalist aesthetic and his ability to merge elements of abstraction, geometry, and popular culture into his works.

One of Dashper’s notable contributions to the art world was his exploration of the relationship between art and music. He incorporated musical elements into his installations and performances, blurring the boundaries between visual and auditory experiences.

This interdisciplinary approach earned him recognition and respect both within and outside the art community.

John Nixon Untitled Enamel on jute 60 x 60 $15,000 - 20,000

Provenance Acquired from Hamish McKay, Wellington John Nixon is internationally recognised as a seminal figure in Australian art. For over 50 years, Nixon produced and exhibited abstract and conceptual works that extended the possibilities of radical modernism.

Nixon explored the truth of materials and his tools, giving voice to found and pre-used objects. Throughout his six-decade long career, Nixon remained dedicated to the exploration and furtherance of radical modernism.

With a focus on constructivist and minimalist principles, his work took many forms, including painting, collage, printmaking, drawing, photography, film, dance, experimental music, art theatre direction, graphic design, curating and teaching. He is also recognised as a frequent collaborator with and generous mentor to many artists across generations.

Nixon’s works are held in every major state museum collection in Australia. Selected international public collections that hold his work include the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, Muzeum Sztuki, Łodź, Foire National d’Art Contemporain, Paris, Stiftung fur Konkrete Kunst, Reutlingen, The Artists Museum, Łodź; Herning Kunstmuseum, Denmark, Daimler Chrysler Collection, Berlin, Kunstmuseum Esbjerg, Denmark, Espace d’Art Contemporain, Demigny; and National Gallery of Contemporary Art, Seoul.

Et Al Ibid. Public Projects, Rotoiti Lake Screenprint on vinyl 84 x 118 $3,000 - 4,000

Provenance Acquired from Hamish McKay, Wellington In 2001 the artist working under the pseudonym L. Budd resigned, re-signing thereafter simply as “et al.” meaning “and others”. While L. Budd had been an inclusive signature throughout the late 1990s often signing as “L. Budd et al.”, hinting at the collaborative of unnamed parties, this was nonetheless a new beginning, a birth with an implicit end. Not the death of the author but the death of the individual signatory, and the emergence of a new collective framework, also anonymous.

Michael Stevenson Time for a Cup of Tea Ink on newsprint screenprint 68 x 50 $2,200 - 4,200

Provenance Acquired from Hamish McKay, Wellington Michael Stevenson uses historical research and reconstruction to produce installations and artworks that index social, economic and ideological global forces.

Based in Berlin since 2000, he was born in the small town of Inglewood and graduated from Auckland’s Elam School of Fine Arts in 1986.

Stevenson has exhibited widely and the subjects of his work range across late twentiethcentury political histories. He represented New Zealand at the 50th Venice Biennale (12 June-2 November 2003) with This is the Trekka (2003), an installation addressing colonial and Cold War influences on New Zealand nationalism.

Stevenson has also exhibited at the Tate Modern, London, Witte de With, Rotterdam, The Power Plant, Toronto and the Sculpture Center, New York, as well as biennials in Berlin, Panama, Athens, Liverpool, Sydney and Auckland. The survey exhibition Michael Stevenson was held at Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art, 6 April-19 June 2011.

Jan Van Der Ploeg Untitled, Sale 2003 Paper, ready made multiple 23 x 31 $350 - 650

Jan van der Ploeg is well-known for his distinctive brand of lively pop-abstraction. He predominantly works between large-scale wall paintings, smaller paintings on canvas and board and print editions. Geometric patterns that often bring optical illusion into play have become increasingly synonymous with his practice.

His work continues to be exhibited extensively across Europe, North America and Oceania. Institutional highlights include: Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, MoMA PS1, New York, Ludwig Forum for International Art, Aachen, Kunsthaus Baselland, Basel, Museum for Concrete Art, Ingolstadt, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.

Hany Armanious Crop Circles Wax, shell, wood, resin & rubber 26.5 x 16.5 $9,000 - 14,000

Provenace Acquired from Michael Lett Gallery Egyptian-born artist Hany Armanious is best known for his sculptural work with casting. He was a key figure in Sydney’s grunge scene of the early 1990s and in 2011 was Australia’s representative at the Venice Biennale.

One of the most persistent features of Armanious’s work has been his fascination with the process of casting. It has become the backbone of his enquiry, as both method and subject.

His work exploits our tendency to make links between things which resemble one another in form, material, function and process.

Armanious was born in Egypt and grew up in Australia, where he gained a Bachelor of Visual Arts from the City Art Institute, Sydney in 1984. He has exhibited widely throughout Australasia, Europe and United States over the past two decades.

Provenance Acquired from The Young, Wellington Cheeseman marries personal experience with a deeply critical and keen eye for what’s happening around the planet we call home. A published poet, as well as an established maker, Iain’s practice is wide-ranging and encompasses painting, carving, sculpture, embroidery, and woodworking The materials he uses are diverse and vary between bodies of work, from self-milled timber, felt, found objects, embroidery, stainless steel tube and rod, welded PVC rod and paint. The art can be small and demanding or large-scale and skeletal. For Iain it is the impact of the artwork that has bearing on its presence, not necessarily its scale.

Gavin Hipkins The White Oval Rayogram photograph 40 x 30 Provenance Signed & dated 2000, edition 7/25 Acquired from The Young, Wellington verso $600 - 800

Provenance Acquired from Hamish McKay, Wellington Over the last two decades Hipkins has worked primarily within photography and moving image, exploring landscape traditions and postcolonial theory; digital montage and discourses of hybridity; photo and filmic experimental narrative structures.

Early in his career, New Zealand artist Gavin Hipkins was described by fellow artist Giovanni Intra as a ‘tourist of photography’. This epithet has been used repeatedly by commentators on Hipkins’ work to describe two intertwined aspects of his practice. As art historian Peter Brunt puts it, Hipkins is a constantly travelling photographer, ‘an iconographer of desire, travel, time and … modern communities’, and a tourist within the medium, ‘a great manipulator of the photographic artifact itself’.

He studied at the Chelsea School of Art (19563) where his contemporaries included David

Hockney and Allen Jones. He subsequently taught at Chelsea School of Art (1963–71), and

in 1964 was included in the New Generation exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery, which

resulted in him being associated with the Pop art movement. Caulfield was and remained opposed

to this label, seeing himself rather as “a ‘formal’ artist”.

London (1947-50). At Camberwell he came into

contact with the work of the St Ives artists Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth, Peter Lanyon and Roger Hilton who, among others, influenced the development of his own abstract style.

Frost believed that painting and printmaking were

inseparable, and that each medium informed the other. Prints were therefore an essential element of his oeuvre, which encompassed etching, linocut, woodcut and drypoint etching, while

bold colours and simplified geometric forms distinguished both his paintings and prints.

Caulfield explained that the inspiration for this

painter and master printmaker associated in the with abstract expressionism. Regarded as one of the most significant printmakers of the 20th

century, in 1927 Hayter founded the legendary Atelier 17 studio in Paris.

John Lethbridge 77 John Lethbridge studied at the Wellington

Design School and the Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland before moving to Australia in 1975,

where he has since established a successful

career as an artist. Well-regarded for his sculpture, photographs and drawings, Lethbridge

has also held an interest in printmaking since his early period in New Zealand. The subconscious, dreamlike imagery of Lethbridge’s Ring Cycle

on to study at Goldsmiths College where he later returned to teach between 1962 and 1983. He also taught at art colleges throughout Britain.

Irvin’s first solo exhibition was held in 1960 at 57 Gallery, London. A major retrospective of his work

from 1960 to 1989 was held at the Serpentine

Gallery, London in 1990. He continued to exhibit regularly at Gimpel Fils, London. Irvin was awarded

a Travel Award to America by the Arts Council in 1968 and later received an Arts Council Major

Award. He was elected a Royal Academician in 1998 and lived and worked in London.

Paul Moorhouse, Tate curator and author of the

book Albert Irvin: Life to Painting, wrote of him:

“even to those familiar with his work, seeing a new painting by Irvin can be an extraordinary

experience akin to discovering a young, energetic artist in the first flush of ambition. Given the force

of its restless energy, its freshness and the

sense it communicates of an artist in love with his chosen activity, it is even more surprising to realise that this is the work of an artist in his late seventies.”

Irvin’s work developed from a time when he considered that in order to give the necessary gravitas to a painting it had to be dark and

sombre, through to a growing realisation that high

key colour can be crucial in the achievement of full expressive and communicative force.

His work was exhibited in the Sir Hugh Casson Room for Friends at the Royal Academy in 2011.

McLean has produced paintings, ceramics, prints, work with film, theatre and books. McLean

Gerald Laing 75 Gerald Laing was one of the most significant artists in both the American and British Pop art

and controversial—member of the British Pop figurative works that raise questions about the representation and objectification of women.

Jones rose to infamy in the 1960s with a series

of sculptures that depicted women as furniture, posed for submission and clad in fetishwear.

Feminists derided these pieces, yet the female form remained Jones’s primary subject. He has

made photographs—notably of Kate Moss in a gold breastplate of his design—and stylized oil paintings, watercolors, and prints that

reference fashion, dancing, and cabaret. Jones

has exhibited in London, Zürich, Hong Kong,

Shanghai, St. Louis, and Lisbon. His work sells for millions on the secondary market and belongs in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art,

the Tate, the National Portrait Gallery in London, the Stedelijk Museum, the Whitney Museum

of American Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, and the Nagaoka Museum, among other institutions.

Following his time at the Slade, Tillyer took up a

In 1963 he returned to England. In 1959 two of

Tillyer’s paintings were accepted for the Young Contemporaries, the tenth in a series of annual

exhibitions showcasing the best work done by students in England’s art schools.

Tillyer’s first major exhibition was held at

the Arnolfini Gallery in Bristol in 1970 and consisted of 33 etchings, three of which were

immediately purchased for the British Council Collection. Those prints were created by a

variety of techniques, including etching and

five-tone screenprinting. In addition to printing

and painting in watercolors, oils and acrylics, Tillyer has used a variety of other materials and

techniques, such as three-dimensional panels

Always Consigning Important & Rare Art

Collectable

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. With over 50 years in business, experience continues to equal results.

Due to an appreciative, and greatly valued clientele of nationwide and international buyers and sellers we look forward to breaking new ground. Charles Frederick Goldie, Colin McCahon, Felix Kelly, Gottfried Lindauer and Frances Hodgkins are just some of the highlighted artist’s we seek for these sales.

The buzz generated by International Art Centre’s 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, this is an exciting opportunity to unearth some real treasures.

These sales present an exciting offering of both painting and sculpture by a range of our modern and contemporary greats.
