Marc Newson is one of the most accomplished and influential designers of his generation. In a career spanning a little over twenty years he has managed to carve out a distinct design identity in a competitive and critical international mar-

ket. His work is known for its bio-morphic futuristic vision and technically rigorous approach to design. Newson grew up by the beaches in early 1960's Sydney, in an Australia that he claims was a country without a local design tradition. This he believed to be an advantage, 'coming from Australia and studying jewellery and sculpture, my design was self taught and instinctive'. * (Designing Modern Britain - Design Museum Exhibition 2006) This lack of design tradition allowed him to look at design with fresh eyes, enabling him the freedom to create his signature style which would ultimately have a wide international appeal. Not long after graduating from art school he began to work on his break-through piece of

between a giant blob of mercury, an aeroplane fuselage and an 18th Century chaise longue, this startling design created an effortless blend of past, present and future - it was a design sensation. After the 'Lockheed Lounge' was exhibited at a Sydney Gallery, photographs of it appeared in magazines all over the world. Following the success of the 'Lockheed Lounge', the Crafts Council of New South Wales in 1988 commissioned Newson to create a chair for an international travelling exhibition called 'The House of Fiction: domestic blueprints in wood'. Curated by Craig Bremner, the exhibition was intended to encourage interaction between crafts practice and industry. The result of this was the 'Wood Chair' which also exhibited at the 1988 Milan Furniture Fair to wide acclaim. Created that year was another important Newson design, the 'Embryo' chair. The 'WoodChair' further refined the hourglass shape of the 'Embryo' to a simple almost abstract, double curve form. Although not originally designed for series production, the success of the chair at the international exhibition meant efforts to produce it for the wider market were begun. Lot 268 is one of two prototypes made of steam bent celery top pine by a factory in Launceston, Tasmania that produced the first commercial models of the 'Wood Chair' for Marc Newson . This was an incredibly prolific and productive period for Newson and also a watershed in terms of his international appeal.

BUYING AT AUCTION 1. Floor Bidders Ensure that you have registered and obtained a buyer number before bidding on the lot or lots you have chosen Be aware that a buyer's premium of 12.5%+GST on the premium or 15%+GST is payable by all buyers in addition to the hammer price. Please make sure that you are aware of the amount of the buyer's premium. Make your bids clear preferably by holding up your buyer number card. If you make a mistake e.g. the auctioneer takes a bid from you at a higher level than you had intended or you realise that you had bid on the wrong lot call out to the auctioneer immediately so that the bidding can be adjusted . Waiting until after the hammer falls is too late. If your bid is the highest and the lot is knocked down to you then you have entered a binding obligation to pay for that lot. 2. Sales Subject to Vendor's Consent Where your bid is the highest but still below the reserve the Auctioneer may declare you to be the "buyer subject to Vendor's consent". This means that your bid is held as binding and will be communicated to the Vendor at the earliest opportunity. If the vendor accepts then there is a contractual obligation for you to pay for the lot. If the vendor does not accept you are released from any obligation however you will have first right to negotiate with the vendor through Webb's until an agreement is reached and Webb's will not present other offers to the vendor until your negotiations are ended . 3. Absentee Bids Webb's will endeavour to ensure that your bidding instructions are executed but accept no responsibility or liability for failure to do so. Lots will be bought as favourably as is allowed by bidding in the sale room and any reserve imposed by the vendor. Please note that Webb's cannot guarantee that another bidder will not be successful at your limit if in the course of competitive bidding someone else bids your limit first. Absentee bids are accepted by written instruction which can be sent by fax (e-mailed absentee bids are not accepted) up to I hour before the commencement of the sale. Absentee bids will be executed on the following basis: If your bid limit is equal to or above a reserve the Auctioneer may open the bidding at reserve on your behalf and will bid thereafter only in response to competition for the lot.If your bid limit is below a reserve the Auctioneer may open the bidding at your limit and if there are no further bids in the room may sell to you "subject to vendor's consent". In the absence of a reserve the Auctioneer

Telephone Bids The same conditions as above apply to telephone bidders. Webb's will telephone the number you have given several minutes before the lot you have request comes up for sale. If your phone is engaged or we are unable to make contact the auction will proceed without your bidding. Our staff will ask you to hold when we have made contact. They will then tell you that your lot is about to come up. The bids will be relayed to you and you can enter the bidding at any time by making your call. Please note that the bidding at many auctions can be fast and furious. The auctioneer will not favour a phone bidder over and above buyers who are attending the auction by giving them more time to bid. You will need to establish your limit and make sure that you bid clearly and promptly. Telephone bids are only accepted for catalogued sales and on items with estimates over 500. Pre-Sale Estimates Estimates printed in the catalogue or given verbally are intended as a guide only and can be subject to revision nearer to the time of a sale. Webb's staff are available during pre-sale viewing times and by appointment to assist prospective bidders with estimates and any aspect of the auction procedure. Condition Reports Webb's staff will provide condition reports for out of Auckland buyers. However please note that no 6 in the Conditions of Sale for Buyers will still apply despite the obtaining of a condition report . Payment Payment for all items purchased is due on the day of sale immediately following completion of the sale. If full payment cannot be made on the day of sale a deposit of 10% of the total sum due must be made on the day of sale and the balance must be paid within 5 working days. Payment is by cash bank cheque or Eftpos. Cheques will be accepted but must be cleared before delivery of goods will be given. Credit cards are not accepted . Packing and Freight Webb's do not pack goods in house. However we will arrange for your items to be packed insured and shipped by a professional agent. All costs associated with packing and freight are payable by the purchaser. Valuation Service Webb's provide free market appraisals on Monday mornings from 9am-1 pm or at other times by appointment. Webb's appraisers will come to your home to view and appraise larger items.
