• Thirtieth Anniversary Celebrations
A
Webb's preview of its thirtieth anniversary sale on March 29th was to have been an occasion for guests to sample a variety of professionally mixed Martinis, but when the principal cocktail barman failed to materialise, it fell to Webb's staff to assist the lone barman in serving gin and tonics to the queuing multitude. About three hundred guests thoroughly enjoyed the evening and there was general approval of the newly renovated back sa leroom, in wh ich were displayed the Chapman Collection of important paintings by Colin McCahon. The sale of paintings on the following Tuesday was being watched with more than the usual interest by the local art market as it was expected to be a harbinger of market conditions for the year ahead. The saleroom was filled to overflowing, and buyers competed for the best works, sometimes cautiously, but willing to pay reserves and beyond for the majority of the catalogue.
RENAISSANCE MAN 1913-2006 With the passing away of Jim Holdsworth in Gisborne last February, Bethunes lost a passionate collector of New Zealand historical literature with whom it had enjoyed an association lasting more than six decades. Jim Holdsworth was something of a renaissance man, a rar<, breed in this country, and while his ambition as a young man was to study medicine, the depression of 1929 fo rced himio leave university and return to help out with the fami ly farm at Paringahau. Henceforth , he was la rgely self-educated , subscribing to international journals on such subjects as inorganic chemistry, cosmology, physics, geology, geomorphology, and botany as well as becoming fluent in the Maori language and knowledgeable of Maoritanga. He was the Gisborne chess champion for a number of years and in conversation, he was able to drop in frequent quotations from Shakespeare and the Bible. Jim died in February this year aged 92 having just climbed to the top tier of the Poverty Bay Racing Club's grandstand where he collapsed. His collection of New Zealand Historical Books, one of the largest and most comprehensive in the country, has passed to his grandson, Jasper, who with his parents, Peter and Bronwen , wil l maintain and add to the collection as opportunities arise .

NEARLY ABSTRACT A small but enthusiastic crowd of around 60 turned up to the opening at Webb's of the Nearly Abstract exhibition of paintings by Aboriginal Women from the Kiwirkkura, Utopia
and Ramingining communities on the evening of the 26th of May. Those who braved the weather were treated to an impressive array of museum-quality Aboriginal paintings and to a brief but enlightening speech by co-curator of the exhibition, Dick Belt. By the time of going to press on the Wednesday following the opening, news was filtering through the Auckland art's community about the strength of the exhibition and seven works had sold including both major Emily Kame Kngwarreye's, the striking achromatic Gloria Pitjara, the important Minnie Pwerle, the Margaret Turner Petjarre and contemporary works by Abie Loi Kemmare and Makinti Napangka. These sales, coupled with the positive reponse from all who attended, ensured a small but nonetheless important broadening of support for quality Aboriginal painting in this country.

Going... Going ... Gone! The highest price on the night for the April 7th Jewellery sale was $37 ,500 for lot 327 , a 3. 13ct solitaire diamond ring (illustrated left). The Franck Muller wristwatch , lot 218 (illustration right), was sold for $11,500 by negotiation after the sale. A necklace & earring suite by renowned New Zealand jeweller Ida Hudig was finally knocked down for $11,000 after very spirited bidding galloped past the pre-sale estimate of $5,000 - $7,000.
Bethunes@Webb's Rare Book, Map and Photography sale in March had New Zealand collectable titles
3cting strong interest. Four early New Zealand cookery books achieved $1 ,500 against a pre-sale estimate of )0. These books , all written by Mrs EB Miller, included the rarely seen 1st edition title, Improved Economic
Jokery Book, published by Mills, Dick & Co. in 1893 (illustrated ght). The New Zealand comic, Little Hongi, Adventures in
v1aoriland (illustrated left), published in Auckland in the 1950's fetched $375, further highlighting the demand for quirky local material. We are currently preparing another major auction to be held in August. This will include a stunning collection of ornithological titles by J. Gould, W.L. Buller and G.E. Shelley. Further quality entries invited. Please contact Miriam Shaw on : (09) 529 5602 or email:bethunes@webbs.co.nz.
An immaculate and interesting provenance influenced two bidders to compete strongly to take a Kahu Kiwi Maori Cloak above the cata logue top estimate and produce a national record, selling for $125,460 during The New Zealand Sale held on April 6th. Similar cloaks have sold close to this level, however the fulsome oral history from a direct descendant of the 1865 recipient of this cloak on her marriage day, proved to be the criti cal ingredient in lifting it to the top of the pile. The cloak 's sale was constrained under the Antiquities Act 1975, which has historically caused prices to be held below international value because of the restriction that registered items may not be sold overseas, however a new breed of collector is competing at a level that is seeing prices for the best artefacts realise sums in line with those achieved internationa lly. See page 18 for details of the next New Zealand sale on September 21st.
A Mintons Majolica Monkey Stool also attracted strong demand, with three overseas bidders competing
against the room to see it finally secured by an American from New York State. While concerns about the extensive restoration had caused the Decorative Arts Department to estimate the value of the stool very conservatively at $1,500 - $2,000 originally, as strong interest was expressed during the viewing this was revised considerably upwards. The stool eventua lly sold for $9,600.

HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS In this issue of In Focus we introduce BEN PLUMBLY the first profile in a series of departmental heads at Webb's. Ben Plumbly abandoned a postgraduate scholarship in art history at Melbourne University to join Webb's as Head of the Art Department, two years ago. Ben grew up in an auction environment, his parents Trevor and Pam Plumbly owning the leading Dunedin auction business, Plumbly's. Ben began his own collection of New Zealand paintings and photography by bidding at his father's sales, and it was the cut and thrust of the marketplace that Ben worried he would miss if he pursued a career as an academic. From the consignment of a work, through to its sale from the rostrum, Ben Plumbly defines his role as striving to add value to the paintings he has accepted for sale on behalf of his vendors. He is acutely aware of developments in contemporary art through his regular visits to private galleric:s in Auckland and by his frequent visits to other centres. He has a particular interest in contemporary photography and last November produced Webb's first catalogue devoted entirely to New Zealand and foreign photography. In August Ben and fellow colleague Jessica Pearless will attend the Melbourne Art Fair. Ben is 31 years old and lives in Onehunga with his long-term partner Sarah, and their very new son, Samuel.

he co-curated in J\1ay. Below: Ben (right) and colleague James Hogan in action during the KidsCan charity auction with James at the rostrum and Ben 'spotting'.
CHARITY AUCTIONS May was a busy month for charity auctions, Webb's being called upon to provide auctioneers for the auction segments of three big gala events. Ben Plumbly, James Parkinson, Ross Millar, James Hogan and Christopher Devereaux all donated their time and expertise at the podium to raise funds for KidsCan Charitable Trust, UNICEF and the Kendal Hutchings Trust.

Great Southern Land One of the most special things about living in New Zealand is the unique beauty and innate spirituality of the land. It has captured the hearts and minds of many of our greatest artists and writers and their respective interpretations of it have contributed greatly to our understanding of it. The respective approaches of artists towards the land varies greatly as does their gravitation toward particular regions. It is strange how, in our minds, certain geographies become, at least partial ly, colonized by the artist's interpretations of them: Michael Smither's many interpretations of Taranaki, Rita Angus' paintings of Canterbury, Toss Woollaston 's beloved and inspired renderings of the Nelson and Riwaka area , and Colin McCahon's blood , sweat and tears interpretations of areas as diverse as Otago, Muriwai and Northland, are just a few examples that readily spring to mind. Another artist whose inspiring interpretations of his beloved homeland seem indelibly etched in our collective consciousness is Grahame Sydney, and his on-going painterly investigation of the harsh Central Otago landscape, with its many changing faces. Sydney's output is notoriously limited. Like the seemingly divergent Gordon Walters, he is concise and meticulous , only releasi ng a work into public discourse at the point that he is 100% satisfied with the outcome. Sydney is represented by three paintings in this sale, two of which do much to capture the austerity and beauty of his beloved Central Otago region. Pond at Dusk II and Evening at

Lot 300 (illustrated top right) is an extremely rare internally flawless superbly cut stone of 2.53 ct with a GIA certificate stating it to be of faint pink hue. A truly magnificent and subtle stone that will appeal to the buyer who would seek a "D" flawless but who wants the added dimension of significantly greater rarity and an Internationally secure investment. Estimated at $145,000 - $165,000 . For further information on pink diamonds refer to the article published on page 10 of the catalogue for sa le 256, September 2003.

Other entries worthy of special mention are an oval cut natural fancy yellow stone of 2.32ct and a cognac oval of 2.72ct, both of which are set with white diamonds to enhance their character.
JUNE 29 DECORATIVE ARTS Among a good selection of estate silver to be offered in the Decorative Arts section of the catalogue is this early George Ill period tankard by William Shaw II. Made in London two hundred and forty-two years ago, this silversmith working in Wood Street, Cheapside was noted alongside his colleague William Priest to also be a goldsmith. Shaw's maker's mark is noted alone or in conjunction with Priest's on hollowware, coffee pots and tankards. The tankard exhibits characteristics of many examples from this period - the domed cover, a scrolling thumbpiece cast with an acanthus leaf design, a recurved scrol l handle with heart shaped lower terminal and a tapering cylindrical body capable of hold ing a quart of ale.

Bill Hammond
Through the 1980s the main players in Hammond's techno-pop surrealist paintings were manic rock singers,
AFitness (Dance Mix) enamel on board title inscribed, signed and dated 1987
guitarists and 'humanimals' stretching and twisting themselves through bone wrenching, skin splitting exercise routines and pursuing the shared fantasies of video arcades and gaming parlours. The excesses and pleasures
770 x 695mm
of public idiocy, the infamous live performances by rock icons, the stage divers, the guitar smashers, the lone
$25,000 - $35,000
singers in basements, the karaokeing multitudes, the home gym addicts, the preening health clubbers, the whole dumb and driven cartoon craziness of the public body in action - Hammond summed it up. In a similar spirit of programmed communal rhythm A Fitness (Dance Mix) joins the rhetoric of the dance floor with the giddy tyranny of exercise regimes. A maniacally benevolent reclining figure, with her pert and pointy sculptured nose, and the goose-stepping power walker in the background suggest a public gym setting. The dog-like companion of the main figure, however, could put the geometricised , vein popping routine in a large private living room as an instructor from the TV calls out the R&B dance moves. In typical Hammond style, the bodies of his protagonists are hybrid composites of organic and inorganic components. Flayed flesh, with bright red braids of blood vessels, wraps itself around sharp angles like pieces of modern furniture; an arm clicks itself through the 90° turns of a Greek scroll; a stretched torso opens up its grey interior like a gutted fish, while an oiled hairdo extends into space like a rigid aerial. These typically Hammondesque riffs on nervous patterning and texture continue in the curtain of receding bar codes at the far end of the room, and this is picked up by the alternating pattern of the fake bamboo picture frame that gives the work a look of glossy junk-shop Chinoiserie.

Gordon Walters
Because Gordon Wa lte rs was a slow and fastidious painter, and a self-critical one,
Blue and Red Koru Composition gou ac he on pa per origi nal rece ipt from Peter Mcl eavey Gallery affi xed ve rso 305 x225mm
his output of large-scale works was relatively sma ll. This is especially the case with
$28,000 - $38,000
intimate scale. In fact, it can be argued that in this case he has intensified the image
his most striking achievement the koru series. However, his method of working out ideas on paper means that there are a number of highly resolved paintings, like the present example, that have all the characteristics of his larger canvases on a more
by presenting it in such a compressed space. As always with Wa lters, the composition of the work is deceptively simple at first glance and only reveals its subtlety on prolonged scrutiny. His art belongs to the category of geometric abstraction, a hard-edge style of European modernism developed by Mondrian and continued by French masters such as Auguste Herbin and Victor Vasarely and British exponents like Bridget Riley. In such works the execution of the painting is deliberately deadpan and without brushwork or signs of making. Instead the interrelation between limited numbers of forms provides the basis of the work, which is composed on the principle of dynamic equilibrium. That is noticeable in the way Walters makes the image appear at first to be symmetrical but then you discover that the upper red zone has fewer bands than the lower blue one or that the lower corner has two circles whereas the upper left has one. The artist encourages the eye to move across the surface on the diagonal as well as up and down. It becomes a kind of visual and perceptua l puzzle that keeps the eye and bra in intrigued. Because Walters applies his pigment evenly he can achieve a strong contrast without the softening effect of tonally modulated colour. In the blue, black, red combination Walters reveals himself as a painter able to handle colour as well as his u~ual black and white . This painting would have seemed uncompromisingly modern when painted in 1971 and does so stil l today. Michael Dunn

Frances Hodgkins Welsh Landscape 4 gouache signed; titled inscribed below mount
410 x 550mm $65,000 - $85,000
In her later works Frances Hodgkins frequently favoured gouache as a medium over oil or watercolour. In fact some of her finest and most characteristic late paintings are in gouache, a medium that combines the opacity of oil colours with the greater ease and convenience of a fast drying water-based medium . Gouache also allowed improvisation and correction through over-painting and building up layers of paint as can be seen in the present example. Recent analysis of her gouache technique by Sarah Hillary and Ute Strehle has revealed that she could use up to 19 layers of paint in a work giving it a heavily painted surface that made it appear rather like an oil painting. By applying the thick paint with a brush she could achieve a spontaneous effect and easi ly simplify and revise underlying areas as required without losing freshness. Hodgkins preferred to draw in gouache, as happens here with the tree forms in the foreground , rather than use pen and ink as did some of her friends like John Piper. She came to prefer a child-like innocence of vision to a technically accomplished rendering of subjects. Paintings like Welsh Landscape belong to what is called the Neo-Romantic school of English art. This kind of painting looked with nostalgia to the tradition of landscape going back to artists like Constable and Samuel Palmer. The rural and enduring values of British life and landscape took on an almost patriotic dimension, especial ly during the Second World War and its aftermath. Although Hodgkins earlier on had painted a lot in Spain and France her last paintings connect closely with Neo-Romanticism in Britain and her influential friends and colleagues at the time were associated with the movement. These artists and critics, while not rural people themselves, celebrated traditional country life and preferred subjects where modern technology played little part. Frances Hodgkins fitted into this mould often living far out of the major centres and painting subjects like this one that are essentially pastoral in character. It is an idyll of simple rural life with fields , trees and a cottage seen against background hills. The pastora l landscape is seen as a valuable heritage that endures amid change and has lasting value for the lifestyle and values it encapsulates. Hodgkins cared for the meanings and associations of the subjects she painted to the extent that she could not become an abstract painter. Her works, though, became highly subjective and allowed distortions of scale, perspective and colouring to achieve the vision she wanted.
She freely exaggerated colour, texture and light to give movement,
energy and drama to her subjects. It could almost be said that there is an element of escapism in these works as an antidote to the political and military forces of the time that effectively put an end to the old Europe that had so often provided Hodgkins with inspiration. In 1942 Hodgkins painted an important group of Welsh subjects in gouache to which this fine example can be related , though it is undated and may have been painted in the late 1930s. Michael Dunn

canvases 7 What does Grahame Sydney present us with in this scene of almost total emptiness, in this landscape abstracted by da rkness 7 Perhaps the land is simply blushing red at its own quiet beauty - or perhaps it reddens for its cunning, for in dusk the land is eviscerated of its blemishes. There is certainly a sense of cinema here. It is easy to imagine th is painting as a scene from a gothic New Zealand film in which the landscape has the final word. In an age when much New Zealand art gazes internationally, Sydney's landscapes seem even more mired to an image of home. Yet he based his paintings here long before we learnt to be proud of our landscapes, before the Lord of the Rings cast Central Otago as the scenic jewel of Middle Earth , and well before Tourism New Zealand brandished it 100% pure. This scene, painted at Pig Root Pond , near the turn off to St Bathans is a subject that Sydney has returned to time and again like Monet's countless renditions of Haystacks or the Rauen Cathedral. But Sydney is no impressionist, and no opportunist. His aim is not to paint quickly - in order to catch the light as it falls - but rather to exemplify it so we can re live the moment (in its exactness) every time we look at the painting. Despite this picture-perfect framing of the landscape, you can 't help but return to that thought, to wonder at what the darkness might conceal. Though nothing extraordinary happens here , there is a suggestion it may have. Sydney's early still lives were oddly intriguing subjects, seemingly normal but on closer inspection not quite. A sprouting bu lbous carrot was rendered strange and incongruous, the fam ily doll sat perched on a chair, her unseeing hooded eyes presenting a blank stare , and even a simple leather boot was paid such a degree of attention that it became something other than an object, its worn leather seemed almost to emulate skin. If this painting was a framing shot for a film , we have some idea of how it might have played out - full of surface beauty, but hinting at an underlying drama.

the sky together, lighting the world below with streaks of silver and gold. It is an
$65,000 - $85,000
hour for bewitching and here, in Evening at the Turnoff Grahame Sydney holds the landscape to account, interrogating its deceptive light and shadow and its alluring glassy surfaces by holding them sti ll on the tip of his brush. The style might be called realist, but at the same time ii is not quite. Painters too maintain the right to edit thei r subjects and there is always the hidden question of what is not included and what the artist is not willing to give away. It is part of the reason why we keep looking. Light is all important in this work. Here we see a kind of natural patterning in the span of clouds which are mirrored in the pond below. Symmetry is staked by the
"ef.ff?-?:/, ( ~ . ,f<J!,,~'~ . , ·
lone central pole , which stands as a kind of axis point taking its shaky anchor in the pond below. This sense of symmetry, mirroring and repetition is as surreal as it is serene. These patterns seem to open a switch in the mind, one that makes us want to make sense of their order, to untangle the merging depths of light and shadow. In this repetition the eye returns as the sky darkens. There is the knowledge that these patterns would soon be erased; or at least they would have been before Sydney painted them. High in the sky, the evening clouds that are lit from a fading sun glow like floating fire embers. They are a reminder of James K. Baxter's poem High Country Weather in which he wrote: Alone we are born I And die alone; I Yet see the red-gold cirrus I Over snow-mountain shine. These clouds also signal another, more well-known piece
of rhyme: 'red sky at night, Shepherd's delight'. Today most of us live in cities and towns, but Sydney's work hints at someth ing we imagine we once were - perhaps closer to the land. His work stands as a testament to something other than the bare forms of the land rendered as a faithful depiction , and more like something we can feel; the land's amplification.

her career when she was 57; but her works soon attracted favourable critical attention and by 1982 she was selected to represent Australia at the Venice Biennale, the first woman to be so honoured. Subsequently she exhibited widely in Australia and internationally and her work is found in all major Australian collections. Until recently she was much less known in her homeland though a few examples have now entered public collections. The present
of Australian road signage. Gascoigne's use of found materials originates with the modernist interest in the objet trouve or found object, usually traced back to Marcel Duchamp. However, Duchamp distinguished between his own works, called ready-mades, consisting of one of a large number of indistinguishable mass-produced items, such as a bicycle wheel or bottle opener and the objet trouve which is selected for its aesthetic qualities and visual interest. Gascoigne's art clearly fal ls into the objet trouve category where she exercises her taste in the selection of the component pieces and how they are arranged and displayed. Her fina l product is unique and has a pronounced visual dimension that aligns it with modernist abstraction. This kind of work can be traced back to the collages and assemblages of artists like Kurt Schwitters who used torn tram tickets or pieces of newspaper in his creations. Subsequently ordinary things from the commercial world - especially those worn out and useless in utilitarian terms - have been incorporated into works of junk sculpture, Pop Art and Arte Povera . Gascoigne's work references some of these earlier examples but has its own distinctive, ordered character. In the present example her image is composed of pieces of lettering used in Australian road signage and has the fami liar black and yel low pa lette known to every motorist. With time and wear the surfaces of the letters used here have acquired a patina of abrasions and discolorations that contribute textural and tonal subtlety to the imagery while transforming its original character and purpose. Furthermore the fragmented nature of the letters, many of which are partial and displayed on their sides, cancels any clear message about destinations or topography. The work becomes indecipherable in those terms and takes on new meanings more visual than utilitarian. The road signage has been deconstructed by Gascoigne's art and recycled for new purposes without entirely losing its previous identity as part of the Austra lian landscape . Gascoigne once said: 'I use my eye as an instrument of pleasure, not an instrument of recognition. I want to see th ings I believe to be beautiful and interesting.' From disca rded fragments of road signs she has fashioned r1 new cultural artefact that acts as a signpost for the imagination. She once noted: 'I often think the broken shard is better than the pure vase. I mean, not all broken, but often pieces are much more informed with life.' That certainly applies here. Michael Dunn

first made its appearance in his paintings in 1963 with the Emblem paintings and
$55,000 - $75,000
then again in the Element paintings that followed. While his early use of the form is sometimes discussed in connection with Jungian symbolism, the artist considers he began painting it 'intuitively', that the initial references to be made were to the geometries of form alone. Mrkusich refined his earlier use of the squared ci rcle in Four Circles (Grey), reworking it so that both the appearance of the painti ng and the title reveal his emphasis on the form itself. No longer does this pa inting refer to elements or emblems outside of the medium of painting, rather it is self contained, and as such can be considered more modernist in character. While this painting was made using four separate panels, Mrkusich worked specifically to provide his characteristic sense of wholeness in Four Circles (Grey). Our perception of the separation of the panels is muted: in the way the division between them is controlled, in the consistency of the colour of the stippled ground and in the repeated motif of the inscribed ci rcle. Each tactic serves to provide a sense of unity that is emphasised by the small bevelled edge frame. The close mounting of each panel within the slight frame provides a cohes ive element, in the form of a centra lly articulated cross, one that ensures our perception of unity through the symmetry created from the interrelationship between each of the inscribed panels. This is emphasised by the soft shadowy nature of the 'gap', as unlike a ha rd-edged inscribed line, the soft effect works to bind rather than separate the panels. The rigorously controlled surface of the panels, each articulated with the same meticulously fi ne stippled colour and flawlessly inscribed pale circ le, also acts to draw the panels togethe r. The eye perceives the stippled ground of each panel as a single coherent ground, while the inscribed circles provide an interest that encourages a sense of comparison and association between the placement and perfect nature of each. It is Mrkusich's rema rkable painting abi lity that enables him to maintain the consiste ncy of colour and form in each of the separate panels that in turn provides the perception of wholeness in Four Circles (Grey). It is th is abi lity and assuredness with the painted surface, his outstanding skill as an artist, that earned him the welldeserved award from the Arts Foundation in 2003, identifying and ce lebrating him as one of New Zealand's inaugural Living Icon Artists.

one. However, never before in New Zealand have the visual consequences been as rewarding as that of Bill Hammond 's trip to the Auckland Islands in 1989, as a result of his participation in the Art in the Sub Antarctic project. Auckland Islands, inhabited solely by a large bird population, served as the key stimulus for his already-iconic bird paintings; a sardonic yet aesthetically rich body of work which continues to evolve today. Works like Watching for Buller, Bar (1993) , All Along the
Heaphy Highway (1998) and Coast Watchers (1994), seeped into our collective cu ltural consciousness, arguably, faster that any artworks hitherto produced in this country. Of course , Hammond had been one of this country's most interesting and original artists for much longer than this. His 1980s works were in-your-face schizoid analyses of everything from rock n' roll and consumer culture to the gym and fitness craze so predominant throughout the 1980s. His bird paintings however manifested an entirely different cultural critique, one more concerned with deeper environmental and spiritual issues. There are, of course, continuities between the two bodies of works, one of which is the artist's proclivity for painting on all manner of supports and found objects - headboards, screens, partition board, and in this instance, a double bass case . Hammond spent many years as a wooden toy maker and this, coupled with a concern that finds parallel in near-contemporaries Ralph Hotere and Richard Killeen, to de-mystify the privileged status of the art object, would seem to play a key part in his decision to incorporate found objects into his painterly practice.
Living Large 8, is a work which is difficult to ignore. At over two metres tall this would come as little su rprise - its corporeal qual ities alone assure this. Moreover, the fact that it is heavily laden with the artist's tradema rk convocations of birds - repeated over and over on the front , sides and underside of the case - would further attest to this. In different scales, outfits, clusters and settings, these weird hook-beaked hybrids stand guard over their primordial world , aware but seemingly unconcerned by our presence. Has Hammond's spirit world ever been more populous? Safety in numbers appears the order of this day. As Allan Smith has highlighted , the more the artist's style has progressed, the more ways he has found of col lapsing and fusing figu res into surrounding space. Th is is true of Living large 8, as the outl ine of the double bass case with its irregular sides and sharp angles, provides literal coastlines, divides and boundaries for the birds to perch on and stand guard in all kinds of manifestations. This time, however, they guard something more literal and otherworldly. The affinities between the double bass case and a sarcophagus are too difficult to ignore and it is an association that the artist must have been attracted to. These birds, in their droves, stand guard over Deta il (s id e)
something more precious and unknown - perhaps Buller's number is finally up. Ben Plumbly

Conceived as a commemorative tribute to the little-known water-colourist Daisy Le
Landscape Panels in Memory of Daisy le Cren
Cren (1881-1951) these four small panels were painted as a set, all the same size and
acrylic on four card panels each panel signed with arti st's in itials CMcC and dated '76 155 x 207 mm each 310 x 414mm ove rall

designed to be seen together. Appropriately they have a nostalgic and reflective aspect to them. Viewed alongside McCahon's major series of the period, like his Noughts
and Crosses or his Teaching Aids, these panels are redolent of earlier landscape conven tions. For instance, the landscapes are atmospheric and tona l in conception, minimal in detai l and suggestive of evening when shadows strengthen and mist gathers merging forms together into dark masses. The elegiac dimension of the panels is surely indisputable as are the symbolic overtones of the imagery. While the dark grey tones and fading light in this context evoke death and mortality the golden glow of the sky suggests hope and the Christian belief in the afterlife. Perhaps the most optimistic of the panels is the last one where there appears only an area of light-filled space with a few smudges of grey evoking clouds and the heavens. Light-fil led space had been used extensively in European religious painting, especial ly in Italy, as a metaphor for spiritual life and salvation. Here the hopeful message of the painting in symbolic terms is most emphatic and sadness at death gives way to contemplation of its sequel seen as mysterious and otherworldly in nature. Pitched in a low tonal key, small in scale and intimate in conception these landscape panels are a series in miniature, designed for a meditative purpose rather than grand display. The sequence of the panels encourages reflection and allows for the passage of time necessary to contemplate the meaning of the work. Despite their small scale, the panels have a breadth of conception that gives a gravity and seriousness to them belying thei r actual physical size. Little is said about Daisy Le Cren in published material. She has a brief but helpful entry brief in Una Platts' Guide and Handbook to 19th Century New Zealand Artists. There we learn there that she was born in Timaru, McCahon 's own birth place, that she was the daughter of Albert Roberts of Ashburton and that she married Charles Le Cren. The Le Crens were a well-known and prosperous family in Timaru. Daisy Le Cren was the mother of Betty Curnow who was in the circle of McCahon while he was in Christchurch. It seems very likely that McCahon had met Daisy Le Cren at some stage and had seen some of her paintings. Indeed the 'retro' style of the commemorative panels may have been intended to evoke her era of landscape art as an appropriate tribute. But the gap between her date of death in 1951 and 1976 the year of McCahon's panels rules out a memorial tribute of the usual kind prompted by the decease of an admired friend or colleague. We know, too, that McCahon shifted to Auckland some years after Le Cren died there. The stimulus for the panels must have been of a subjective and personal origin. While in some ways a digression from McCahon 's main direction at the time these small panels gain in intensity and individuality by their emotional and reflective nature. Michael Dunn

DAY 2: WEDNESDAY 28th JUNE 6.00pm HAGELSTROM ESTATE Lots marked with an asterisk(*) are from the Estate of Victor and Vera Hagelstrom. Victor Hagelstrom, original ly of Danish descent, graduated from the University of St. Petersburg in 1905 and then entered the Imperial Diplomatic Service, where he was highly decorated. He married Vera, the daughter of a Russian Supreme Court judge, around three years before the Bolshevic revolution, and shortly after was appointed Ambassador to China (cl914) taking up the post in Peking. Little is known of their history between the Revolution in 1917 and their immigration to New Zealand in 1926. They lived in reduced circumstances in Christchurch until his death in 1964 and hers in 1968. See Christchurch Press February 10 1979.

Magnificent Jewels, Fine Antique & Modern Jewellery, Accoutrements, and Loose Diamonds. Please note: where gemological reports are available these should be read together with the catalogue description. Should there be, through error, omission or introduction of better evidence, any significant difference between the catalogued description and that provided in the gemologist's report, it shall be assumed that the buyer has inspected the report and is buying in acceptance of it. Unless otherwise stated, all stones have been assessed for weight, colour or clarity mounted and the descriptions given in the catalogue or report are therefore based on estimates which are limited in accuracy. Where an actual weight is given the stone will have been weighed loose, however while the grading of a stone loose will minimise error margins it shall be accepted by the buyer that all reports and descriptions remain opinions and not matters of fact.

594 ARare and Important 18th Century Chinese Export Black and Gold Lacquer Cabinet raised on an English Regency period , chinoiserie stand with 17th century caryatid figures to the front. The cabinet with two hinged doors decorated with buildings in a landscape opens to reveal a complex fitted interior with compartments and drawers, concealed drawers, pierced sliding doors and columns. The 18th Century cabinet is raised on a later English chinoiserie stand , probably 19th century, with panel back and platform base decorated in complementary lacquers. The stand incorporates two caryatid giltwood figures of a man and woman. These figures are important in their own right and date to the 17th century. Probably originally supports from a side table, they derive from designs by Daniel Morot, and may be compared to his drawings, dated to 1700, for a pier glass, table and candlestand for Het Loo, the royal residence built for William of Orange.

AGUIDE FOR BUYERS Webb's have set out the following information for the benefit of first time buyers and those who are unfamiliar with auction procedures. Important note: Please refer to full conditions of sale for buyers printed in the reverse of this catalogue and displayea in the saleroom. Registration All intending buyers must complete a bidding form available from the reception desk 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, a total of 14.06% , is payable by all buyers in addition to the hammer price. At some sales the amount of the buyers' premium may be more or less than 12.5%. 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 fa lls 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 re leased 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 en sure 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 may exercise your bid in advance of any opening bid or may open the bidding on your behalf at the Auctioneers estimate, at the Auctioneer's sole discretion .
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 wi ll be relayed to you and you can enter the bidding at any time by making your cal l. 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 avai lable 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 wi ll 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-lpm or at other times by appointment. Webb's appraisers will come to your home to view and appraise larger items. Webb 's wil l provide va luations for insurance, matrimonial division, family division etc. Please enquire at reception for charges. Valuation charges are refundable on occasion when goods are subsequently offered for sale within a reasonable period.
