When auction watchers, antiques enthusiasts don’t want small paintings they want big the very traditional art of buying and selling “high street shopping” is in decline but I and art lovers that are serious about their ones, art lovers seem to have lost the time to art, antiques and jewels can work beautifully don’t agree with the lament of many a dealer world come together they are inevitably wander down a high street or visit a city and online – here there is a balance.

Why? Because the site to the digital offer a real and meaningful disruptive but I think also exciting changes preserve of bricks and mortar that also enjoy still relies on the “eye” of a great dealer, a solution to the declining bricks and mortar that we are all witnessing.

INTRODUCING

INTRODUCING Chiara Curcio for classic furniture & objects Leonard Joel are delighted to announce the addition of Chiara Curcio to the Classic Furniture & Objects team. After joining Leonard Joel in 2011 Chiara took on the management of the Objects and Antiquarian Books auction and has been responsible for developing specialist and thematic auctions within the company, most notably the highly successful auction of the Estate of Laszlo Erdos in April 2014, which achieved an extraordinary 150% sale rate by value. Chiara brings a broad knowledge of the decorative arts, antiquarian books and associated disciplines and an affinity with vintage fashion and collectibles which will be an invaluable addition to the department.

Enquiries Chiara Curcio Specialist, Classic Furniture & Objects, Books and Manuscripts (03) 8825 5635 | chiara.curcio@leonardjoel.com.au

ANNA GRASSHAM for modern design Exciting changes are taking place in Australia’s only dedicated Modern Design department. Following the success of Leonard Joel’s specialist Modern Design auctions in the past two years, in November the department will be re-launched under the management of Anna Grassham. At some point, nearly all Leonard Joel clients will have seen evidence of Anna’s visual merchandising talents, which have been showcased throughout the salerooms and at special off-site events in some of the most original and enticing displays to be conceived of in recent years.

Joining Leonard Joel in 2011, Anna was part of the original team behind Leonard Joel’s initial Modern Design concept auctions, but her background in movie set design has also seen her collaborate in highly original projects outside of the auction world. For two consecutive years, Anna has played a key role in the New Joneses project, as part of Buy Nothing New Week. Initially undertaken in 2013 as a model of sustainable living, the project evolved in 2014 to include the construction of a fully sustainable apartment in Melbourne’s Federation Square, furnished with vintage accessories from Leonard Joel’s auctions, selected and styled by Anna. The New Joneses project was a winner at the 2013 Earth Awards in the Creative Arts Category and the 2014 event was showcased on Channel 7 national television.

Yosl Bergner SCULPTURES 3 - 14 September 2014 After the stunning result earlier this year at auction of Yosl Bergner’s bronze sculpture Yossi with the Fiddle, which sold for $21,960 (IBP), Leonard Joel are delighted to be offering this exclusive selling exhibition of bronze sculptures from the artist’s studio.

Each bronze is numbered and signed and these small editions offer a rare opportunity for the collector of sculptures or admirer of this revered Israeli-Australian artist.

All works will be available for viewing at Leonard Joel’s South Yarra rooms for immediate sale and can also be viewed online.
