A Celebration of the Arts

The Collector’s Auction on the 4th of June is a fascinating celebration of the arts, both antique and modern. Nowhere better is this blend of old and new exemplified than through the Fred and Elinor Wrobel Collection which opens our auction (lots 1-63). Showcasing their love for quality and craftmanship alongside their passionate support for Australian artists, this collection from their estate offers a brief look into the culturally rich life they shared together.

From our other vendors we see an equal appreciation for all aspects of the arts, from Georgian mahogany furniture through to Thai bronzes and the impressive Meissen porcelain which graces our front cover (lot 147).

There are rare and unusual items in all shapes and sizes; from those that would fit in the palm of your hand such as The Australian Nugget 24 carat gold coin (lot 152) and a Victorian silver nutmeg grater (lot 176), through to those which appear oversized such as a ‘SUMO’ publication on the renowned German photographer Helmut Newton (lot 100) and a Khmer sandstone torso of Uma (lot 123).

The auction also presents a diverse array of portraiture; ranging from a collection of 17th and 18th century miniatures (lot 186-196); a swagger portrait of the wily politician Charles James Fox to a rare unfinished portrait by one of Australia’s most prominent modernist painters, Russell Drysdale (lot 14).

Whether you seek a crown jewel for your existing collection, are just beginning your collecting journey or simply wish to enhance your interiors, you will find fascinating possibilities abound.

The Fred and Elinor Wrobel Collection

Lots 1 – 63

Fred and Elinor Wrobel were passionate collectors of Australian art and their legacy has left a lasting impression on the artistic community. They began their collection not as wealthy investors but rather as enthusiastic and curious supporters, scouring local antique shops, galleries, auction houses, and even the barber cum antique dealer across the road from their home in Earl Place in Kings Cross. Many an hour was spent roaming Queen Street in Woollahra throughout the 60s and 70s, with Elinor often accompanied by their young daughters, enjoying the connections formed with local shop owners.

The Wrobels were known for their broad range of interests and their support of artists who were often relatively unknown. Though this was certainly the case at the time they were acquiring their works, many of the artists in their collection have now achieved significant recognition which is a testament to their discerning eye. They were passionate about shedding light on artists who had been under-appreciated and through their gallery, the Woolloomooloo Gallery, they showcased many of these artists' work with particular attention given to women.

Not only was their support for artists' careers apparent, but Fred and Elinor also built lasting relationships with many of them. For example, the artist Helen Lempriere with whom they had a close friendship and after her passing assisted her husband in establishing the Helen Lempriere National Sculpture Award. Lempriere was the favourite niece of Dame Nellie Melba and inherited many of her possessions, some of which are to be offered in the present auction. Another example was their longstanding friendship with the painter John Passmore. When Passmore died in 2004, he left his estate of 270 paintings to Elinor, who together with Fred established the John Passmore Museum in the old Merryfield Hotel in Woolloomooloo. This also became their home and developed into an incredible treasure trove of items from art to furniture, decorative arts, family mementos and items of real historical importance.

In the following lots from their estate in The Collector’s Auction you will catch a glimpse of the life Fred and Elinor shared together which was enriched with a love for beauty and craftmanship of all kinds.

other notes

In Greek mythology, Peleus may be best known as the father of Achilles, however, he was also a hero, king and the husband of the sea-nymph, Thetis. Thetis was loved by Zeus and Poseidon, who gave her to Peleus, king of Myrmidons of Thessaly, in order to fulfil her destiny of bearing a son who would be mightier than his father. Thetis unwillingly wed to a mortal, resisted Peleus’s advances by changing herself into various forms. However, assisted by the wise centaur Chiron, Peleus finally captured her and the child of their union became the warrior Achilles.

Walker’s sculpture of their spurned embrace delicately captures the pair twistingly intertwined. The sheen of the marble reveals their taught muscles as Thetis pulls away to resist and Peleus clings tighter still. The tension between the figures is palpable as Peleus puckers his lips preparing for an impending kiss and Thetis turns her cheek.

Arthur George Walker RA (1861-1939) was an English sculptor and painter who studied at the Royal Academy in London from c.1883-1887. Among his best-known works are several war memorials throughout the UK and a statue of Florence Nightingale in Waterloo Place, London. His work is held in the collections of Tate Britain, London, the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, and the Royal Academy, London.
