he June sale featured many stand-out results and, overall, continued the strengthening of the New Zealand art market from a

soft 2005. The final gross turnover of $1,323,923 is particularly impressive upon closer scrutiny. The catalogue was perhaps not the strongest offering which Webb's has brought to the market in recent times and this, coupled with the fact that at 123 lots it was a small sale, added to the positive market response . As with any auction catalogue there were highs and lows (why else do people come to auction?) but a packed saleroom, fierce competition on many of the high value paintings and a large number of successful negotiations in the following days, meant that the lows were few. Pat Hanly's two oil paintings were among the brightest stars to shine on sale night. Historically, the Hanly market has been one of the most discriminatory with buyers focusing on key bodies of work such as Figures in Light and Girl Asleep and leaving behind other seminal series such as the Molecular paintings. Hibiscus (1968), was offered with what felt like a fairly accurate estimate of $60,000 - $80,000. With two bidders in the room competing against a determined phone bidder it sailed beyond this to realise a new record price of $117,485, surpassing the previous record set by Webb's for Figures in Light 8, back in December 2003. The other Hanly painting in the sale was the exquisite and much-admired Flower, Pot, Table. A small work, it too raced beyond its estimate of $25,000 - $35,000, to eventually sell to

I C an expatriate New Zealander bidding from abroad for $45,625. It certainly seemed as if bright paintings were the order of the day for buyers in the midst of a frigid winter. Another artist to fair well on sale night was Peter McIntyre. He was represented by several works in the catalogue, two of which excelled in phenomenal fashion. The ink drawing Portrait of Charles Upham was always going to be a topical picture and it eventually changed hands for $16,540. Continuing on the McIntyre war theme, Battle Scene also sold for well above its estimate of $15,000 - $20,000, when a bidder in the room paid $31 ,940 in order to secure ii. 1a

It wasn't all plain sailing on sale night and the days proceeding the auction brought the usual amount of negotiating. In most

10!

cases it was successful. The cover work, Rosalie Gascoigne's NYT (SR TO) from 1999, attracted little interest from the room

;it

on sale night. However, three interested parties stepped forward in the following week and the work was eventual ly sold for $240,000, slightly below its pre-sale estimate of $260,000 - $340,000. The work went into an impressive private collection and the sale constituted a record price for the New Zealand born artist in her country of birth . Another record price achieved

after the sale, was Grahame Sydney's Evening on the Turnoff. The work was sold subject to

the phone slightly shy of its pre-sale estimate of $65,000 - $85,000 during the auction , but sold

soon after for a negotiated sale in which a North

Island buyer paid $66,155 to secure it. This sa le

eclipsed the previous record price for a Sydney

set by Webb's way back in September 2001 for

Pig Root Pond.

The June sale witnessed a continuation of the strengthening of the market from the setback it suffered last year. It provided further evidence that the market is now stronger than ever for quality New Zealand artworks.

Note: All prices quoted include buyer's premium of 12.5% + GST.

GOING, GOING, GO E... Over the past few years the popularity of "Antique" jewellery has seen a steady decline world wide , with many traditional Estate Jewellery dealers either closing down or changing focus. In reality, the decline in fashion has been for the more common examples of Victorian & Edwardian jewellery (such as the ubiquitous Albert watch chain used as a necklace, bar brooches, dainty rings and the like). The exception has been the demand for Art Deco and good transitional Edwardian pieces which has remained strong, as has the demand for the very finest Georgian & early Victorian pieces. Of late , however, there has been increased interest in cameos and pieces enhanced with seed pearls or enamel work. The June sale saw the offering of a collection of unusually fine 19thC Jewellery that was remarkable not only for its fine quality but also because of its condition , the pieces showing little evidence of having ever been worn. The best piece in the collection, a demi-parure of jewellery set with amethysts and presented in its original fitted box (illustrated) sailed past its pre-sale estimate of $14,000 - $16,000 to finally be sold after dramatic and spirited bidding for $21,000. Other pieces from the collection also were received well , selling mostly above estimate.

A recent Bethunes@Webb's Rare Book, Map and Photography sale saw an album of 18th century

photographs of the Chatham Islands and inhabitants fetch $8,000. The album had been gifted to Captain Romeril who commanded the SS Toroa and SS Kahu , along with an Illuminated Testimonial celebrating his retirement from the sea. The typescript Diary of James Paton, boatswain on the S.Y. Aurora on Sir Ernest Shackleton's Trans-Antarctic Expedition sold for $8,500. We are currently preparing for our final auction of the year to be held in November. This will include an impressive collection of fifty editions of Izaak Walton's The Complete Angler. Further quality entries invited. Please contact Miriam Shaw on: (09) 529 5602 or email bethunes@webbs.co.nz.

In recent Decorative Arts sales, interest in Japanese artwork continues to be strong, particularly for the finer items. Examples of this appeared in the two last catalogues, the major decorative arts sale on June 28th and the A2 catalogue of August 10th. In the former a lacquer box to hold calligraphers items in makie and nashiji lacquers realised over four times the upper estimate of $400 (i llustrated right) , in the later sale two inro and netsuke (il lustrated left) sold for $2,250 and $2,500 respectively.

In the Twentieth Century Design auction of July 13th a rosewood dining table and eight upholstered chrome cantilever chairs designed by the late architect Claude Megson for his award winning Norris Home in Remuera realised $5,800 (+ buyer's premuim). This along with competitive bidding on most of the furniture reinforces the fact that the market demand for quality vintage modern design is robust.

HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS A DEPARTMENT HEAD WITH TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS OF ACCUMULATED KNOWLEDGE, ROSS MILLAR FEATURES IN THE SECOND OF A SERIES OF PROFILES ON WEBB'S MANAGERS .

Ross Mil lar has headed the Decorative Arts Department and stood behind the podium at Webb's for the last twelve years after relocating from We llington with a history of fifteen yea rs in the auction industry there . With a cumulative twenty-seven years working in auction houses, he is still delighted to be handling material that excites him. His length of service has enabled him to see the ebb and flow of trends and to be familiar with an incredible range of material as well as understanding the particu lar needs of both vendors and buyers. He describes his interests as enti rely catholic, enamored with the vision of the artisan whether it be a primitive artefact or finest porcela in, na'fve fol k-art or masterwork of cabinet ma ker, Ross believes all pieces have the potential to speak across time. Most days witness Ross responding to the almost incessant requests for appraisals by persona lly attending to visitors bringing their items in for examination, or by answering the dozens of daily enquiries he receives by email and phone. Ross has a regular spot on Newstalk ZB radio answering listeners' questions. He makes frequent visits to Wellington and other centres to appraise collections, an d from time to time participates in fund raising for charitable 'Roadshow' events. All this activity has Ross constantly surrounded by art and objects for wh ich he intuitively considers their quality, rarity and value in the marketplace. The decorative arts will always be Ross's fi rst love, or perhaps third behind his wife Elaine and their English bu ll terrier, Stan ley. The best thing about working in the industry, he says, is to be able to handle on a daily basis art and objects of exceptional beauty, items that one doesn't necessarily have to own to appreciate, items that he can enjoy for six weeks before they go under his hammer and on to some collection where they will be val ued anew and preserved for future generations.

MELBOURNE ART FAIR 2006 The bi -annual commercial Melbourne Art Fair is now

considered to be the leading art fair in the southern hemisphere. This year Webb's sent representation in the form of Ben Plumbly and Jessica Pearless. Running from August 2nd through to the 6th, the fair showcases work by 900 artists, represented by over 80 galleries from Australasia and further afield. As one might imagine, the spatial and visual competition is intense. 2500 art enthusiasts attended the vernissage and between one and two million Australian dollars changed hands on the opening night alone. New Zealand was represented by Hamish McKay Gallery, Gow Langsford Gallery, Michael Lett, Tlnakori Gallery, Ivan Anthony Gallery and Jensen Gallery. Ben and Jessica, along with numerous others - and not all Kiwis, one must add 1 - commented on how their lasting impressions were how well the New Zea land galleries held up against their foreign counterparts. Webb's now looks forward to attending and supporting the Auckland Art Fair to be held next year.

Webb's offer New Zealand's only comprehensive (NZPI) Property Institute certified valuation service for the fine and decorative arts.

WEBB'S EXPERTS GO BACK TO SCHOOL At the St Cuthbert's College Old Girls' Association Antiques Roadshow Fundsraiser 2006 Georgie Caughey, formerly assistant manager of Webb's

Decorative Arts Department before she left to start a family, was the catalyst in organising a roadshow at her old school, St.Cuthbert's in August. The highly successful event was organised by the school's Old Girls' Association and the funds raised contributed to scholarships for six girls to attend the renowned Epsom school. Webb's experts in fine and applied arts, collectables, jewellery, books and wine offered appraisals and opinions and were impressed with many of the wonderful art and objects that emerged from bags and boxes. An interlude auction of five donated lots including a sculpture by Terry Stringer, a romantic get-away weekend to Huka Lodge and a set of the John Leech Gallery's anniversary prints, raised additional funds for the scholarships. Webb's experts had a busy but fun time helping with another community project.

SEPTEMBER 2 · DECORATIVE ARTS Including A NEW ZEALAND SALE Along with our usual offering of beautiful antiques, furniture and decorators items, the September 21st Decorative Arts sale features a major component of New Zealand and Maori objects and artefacts. Many stunning entries feature in the sale including this wonderful Pre-European or Contact Period Nephrite Hei Tiki. The oral history of this tiki recalls it in the ownership of John Gardner (1839 - 1914) a Scottish immigrant in 1859 to New Zealand. Gardner developed Glori! Farm from 1868 at Mataia on the Kai para Harbour. His descendants understand that this tiki was obtained around this time. The Gardner family has strong ties to the Auckland region, not least to clay quarries at New Lynn which became the Amalgamated Brick and Tile Co. quarry, the precursor of Crown Lynn. Well known to collectors of New Zealand pottery is John Gardner's grand-daughter Briar Gardner. The tiki is fashioned of an unusual nephrite jade (pounamu) which exhibits a silky sheen produced from striations of closely packed parallel mineral fibres. The carving is soft tooled, that is not worked with steel , indicative of early manufacture. The suspension hole whi ch pierces the forehead is an oblique hole of hourglass section indicating it's manufacture with a stone drill.

Masterpieces of New Zealand Painting

ver used and oft-abused, the term 'masterpiece' is bandied around with all too frequent regularity. However, for the September catalogue Webb's believe that this time around they've unearthed a few works truly worthy of the adjective.

Michael Smither's recent touring exhibition has further served to cement the artist's reputation as one of our most unique and important painters. The September catalogue is blessed with two works by Smither which, we believe, are worthy of consideration as 'masterpieces'. Among the Cabbages (1967) is the finest Smither to come onto the market since Webb's sold Sarah with Cat for a record $155,000, back in December 2003. Smither's domestic scenes from the 1960s and early 1970s are his scarcest and most highly-prized works. It is a rare enough occurrence to be offering one such work for sale, let alone two. Elizabeth in Blue Chair (1973), is every bit the gritty, realist slice-of-life that is Among the Cabbages. Taken together the two works act similarly to the 'The Wonder Years' exhibition in that they reveal a deeply personal idiom and the development of a unique stylistic vision. In the accompanying brochure for the 1967 'Paintings with no titles to obey' exhibition from which Mr and Mrs Thomas Piss-Quick (1967) was purchased, the following quote from the artist is reproduced: "It is a poor mind that draws formal conclusions from poetic imagery". This exhibition was the last time that Mr and Mrs Thomas Piss-Quick was seen by the public. The purchaser of the painting that evening, today remains the

PREVIEW

painting's sole owner. That evening he also purchased the entire exhibition at Barry Lett Galleries (bar four works which had sold prior to his arrival). Ralph Hotere's Pine Without Singing (1985) is another work unquestionably worthy of the 'masterpiece' adjective. There is something wonderfully immediate and intimate about raw, unstretched canvas - for some reason it makes us feel that much closer to the artist, the art work and its conception - it makes us feel more like we 're in the artist's studio than in a gallery. Pine Without Singing is the most important Ralph Hotere painting to be made available to the market in quite sometime. Philip Clairmont's neo-Expressionist works from the 1980s exhibit a frankness, rawness and intense energy seldom witnessed in New Zealand art. Still Life with

Objects (1980) is a wonderfully fresh example. Whilst slightly anomalous with its predominating browns and pinks, the work is vintage Clairmont in that it presents the viewer with a primal experience and demands an emotional response. A more recent masterpiece is John Pule's Tuagafale Lo/ago (Foundation of

the house song). This large 1997 work is part of a body of work in which the artist reinterprets and recontextualises the hiapo (Niuean tapa) of his homeland of Niue, an art form which is in vast danger of being lost due to the ongoing processes of modernization and globalization. The strength of this body of work is not its nostalgia or its longing for time past, but rather, the way it acknowledges that being able to look back is an integral part of looking forward.

head' is most likely School Girl, also known simply as Head, 1958 - the sitter also featuring in the work Singing woman on pink ground, 1955 now held in a private col lection.

Who this splendid sitter is remains unknown, we can only deduce her qualities from the boldly painted li nes that McCahon used to enunciate her features. Her hair is a sweeping arc, her mouth a couple of pr:itracted brushstrokes and her nose a linea r extension of her eyebrow. The style has much in common with Picasso's line drawings, and in particular with his archetypal ceramic paintings which he worked on from the late 194O's through to the early 196O's. Painting on plates, vases and pitchers, Picasso's human faces and forms were reduced with an economy of line. In doing so he showed that essential expression cou ld stil l be powerfully articulated . In this portrait McCahon takes Picasso's method to heart and produces a drawing of resounding feel ing, one that quite simply articulates the vulnerability and determination characteristic of the school girl.

John Pule, 1997

Exhi bited: 'Savage Island Hiapo: New Paintin gs by John Pule', New Wo rk Stu dio, Wellington, 1997

John Pule's magnificent Tuagafale Lo/ago (Foundation of the house song) is part of

$30,000 - $40,000

a large body of work which takes its inspiration from Niuean hiapo. The work was original ly shown in an exhibition entitled 'Savage Island Hiapo'. Savage Island was the name given to Niue by Captain Cook after he and his men attempted to land there in June 21'' 1774, where they were met with stern resistance. Hiapo is the uniquely Niuean form of tapa cloth, characterized by its optical vita lity, smearing graphology and its narrative inclination. In 2005 Pule, along with esteemed anthropologist Nicholas Thomas, published the book Hiapo: Past and Present in Niuean Barke/0th. Traditionally, hiapo depicted stories of journeys and history. In works such as Tuagafale Lo/ago (Foundation of the house song), Pule continues the story-telling history of hiapo but gives it a contemporary and personal inflection through incorporating tales of his experience as a young Niuean and Polynesian living in Auck land. This experience can be one of dislocation and disenfra nchisement as young Polynesians often fee l isolated from both their past and present: neither Niuean nor New Zea lander. His work takes hiapo as a point of departure but, as Nicholas Thomas suggests, " in no sense slavishly reproduces those designs, instead drawing more loosely on the structure of quadrilateral divisions, and combines grids, triangles and flowing patterns with figurative imagery". Pu le was born in Liku, Niue in 1962 but emigrated to New Zealand with his fami ly at the age of two. He is a poet, novelist, painter and printmaker. Whichever of these mediums he turns his hand to the artist continues his multiple but unified project of telling the story of his people. In many ways a work such as Tuagafale Lo/ago (Foundation of the house song) recalls the artist's unique style of prose with its effect of discontinuity and abrupt transition between the interlocking vertical compartments and the iconography which they contain. Traditional Polynesian motifs such as Frangipani, concentric circles and grids jostle with more contemporary imagery such as the landscape and the recurring motif of the Christian Cross. Pule himself has remarked of the recurring Christian Cross in his paintings: "A lot of my work then was about the entry of Christ into the Pacific..

It's a dark subject, even

though Jesus is supposed to generate light". By introducing European forms into the traditional Pacific format of tapa or hiapo, Pule reverses the appropriation of Western artists such as Picasso and Gauguin, illustra ting that the patterns of cultura l exchange are not the one-way street which they are often portrayed as. Tuagafale Lo/ago (Foundation of the house song) is a work fundamentally concerned with journeys: geographical , spiritual, but perhaps most importantly, it is concerned with an on-going search for the meaning of being Polynesian.

tell whether the painting is based on the woodcut or vice versa or, what is more likely, worked from the same domestic installation of furniture and plants. Apart from the painting's own manic intensity, the fact that the artist made two variants of this congery of items suggests his readiness to pour over a group of things, shapes, forms and textures and to see them as taking up different combinations in different moments of time. Very often one of the most distinctive things about Clairmont's busy and buckling compositions is that each gesture, each fragment of represented reality, seems to be in a process of becoming. Becoming in the sense of existing primarily as something that has violent and beautiful mutation as its primary mode of being. The artist's predilection for the twists, flicks, curves and hooks of the painted gesture affirm this sense of physical form arising out of a constant assertion of its will to shape and colour. Such animistic gesturalism gives an uncanny initiative both to objects - they seem to tilt and trip over themselves and one another like so many animate respondents to the diabolica l music of the Sorcerer's Apprentice - and to the life of paint and colour as signs of transformational materiality. At the centre of the painting, it is hard to decide whether the dark gothic cross is a still point in this tu rbulent world or an agitator of continua l movement as its partially visible blades are locked in by a nest of spira lling lines and sharp diagonals. The cross is wedded to the palette in a way which almost seems to acknowledge the way Romantic Expressionist painter March Chagall sometimes joined the sufferings of Christ's crucifixion with the palette of the suffering artist. There is in fact something very Chagall-like about this whole painting - not only in the attention given to the palette as bearer of mystical inscriptions and runes of magic pigment- but also in the affirmation that painting can open up a beatific dream-space. In this narcotic atmosphere of saturated colours and flickering textures, profiles and graphic configurations often arise out of sympathy between proximate forms: the two tallest leaves in the flower jug, seem to wave and curve in tandem with the two agapanthus seed heads that turn inwards from the edge of the composition; while one of the brushes snaps itself into a red cowlick, the taller one splays outwards as if mimicking both the agapanthus stalks and the horizontal dashes of dark paint that indicate the pages of a fat book or creased leather of a bag on the far edge of the table. At times, when this animistic mutation achieves a macabre play between illuminated surface and darkened sockets, as it does with the angular white and black table legs, I think of the way Francis Bacon gave shadows and whiplash silhouettes a demonic and anarchic independence in some of his portrait pa intings in particular. The beautiful warm pinks, ochres, whites and blacks that dominate th is painting provide a clear chromatic organisation for the more staccato bursts of different greens, blue and red to play off against.

distinction between the naked and the nude a distinction much contested but

$90,000 - $120,000

useful for approaching Michael Smither's painting of his former wife Elizabeth in a Blue Armchair. Clark wrote: 'to be naked is to be deprived of our clothes and the

word implies some of the embarrassment which most of us feel in that condition. The word nude, on the other hand carries, in educated usage, no uncomfortable overtone. The vague image that it projects into the mind is not of a huddled and defenceless body but of a balanced, prosperous and confident body: the body reformed.' The idealised nude in art was a creation of the artist not a rendering of a particular person and seems to have originated in 5th century Greece where it became associated with classical sculptures of gods and goddesses like Apollo and Venus. Smither's painting, like most Anglo-Saxon works, fits more into Clark's naked rather than nude category and displays Elizabeth Smither somewhat defensively staring out at the viewer. Smither has not tried to make her appear glamorous. Both her features and figure are individual and belong to a person not a type. Clark has noted astutely that 'the nude is not the subject of art, but a form of art.' By contrast, Elizabeth is most definitely a subject, one chosen by the artist from his domestic surroundings as were his children and the everyday still-life objects found in the house. Here the blue armchair has a powerful presence and identity that is as individua l as the naked figure. They belong together. Like other paintings by Smither, this work has a startling clarity and is lit with a strong light from the viewer's right. It allows us to trace the forms and contours of her figure with the greatest of ease. Unsurprisingly there are few New Zealand precedents for this portrait where the sitter is shown stark naked. Only Rita Angus, a painter Smither admires, comes close in several drawings in which she traced the lines and forms of her naked body with comparable tenacity and gave to them both a portrait-like individua lity. But they are sma ller and more intimate than Smither's painting. In English art Stanley Spencer comes to mind as an earl ier exponent of this kind of merciless realism. Smither made more than one version of this portrait another smaller variant is in the Sarjeant Gallery, Wanganui. Commenting on posing for the portraits in 2002, Elizabeth Smither recalled feeling that because she was not a model she felt stiff rather than languid and passive. The cropped head and close-up positioning of her figure increase our feeling of discomfort, as if we are intruders upon a private scene that is not staged for our presence. Her direct gaze, however, returns ours and denies any sense of voyeurism and hierarchy between viewer and subject. Elizabeth in a Blue Armchair is a memorable and distinctive image of the kind that

has established Smither as one of the most important pain•ers of his generation. Michael Dunn

This fine work on paper belongs to a numbered series of landscapes inspired by Colin McCahon's response to his new environment at French Bay on the Manukau Harbour. He had moved north to Auckland in May 1953 and was immediately struck by the wet climate and dramatic lighting compared with Canterbury. He recalled: 'At this time the bush and the harbour were of prime importance as subjects ... the November light for that first year was a miracle. It remains an obsession and still a miracle.' Concieved in charcoal and gouache on paper, Towards Auckland depicts the harbour and background hills to the left and bush to the right. Above a cloudy sky animates the scene and is reflected in the waters of the harbour. Although it is easy to make out the landscape elements in naturalistic terms McCahon's painting has other concerns. The artist shows a modernist interest in the formal structure of the imagery as evidenced in the division of the surface by a scaffolding of curved and straight lines. These divisions have very little to do with nature and much to do with constructing a painting on a two-dimensional surface. The lines animate the surface and refer us to it. They also help divide the surface into planes that are merged into one another by the technique of passage introduced into painting by Cezanne and the Analytic Cubists. In this technique an opening, allowing one form to be merged with another, facilitates the transition between them and allows foreground and background to be interlocked. Cubism, and especial ly the work of Georges Braque, was of interest to McCahon at this time. He was especially concerned with making the painting appear as something solid and permanent rather than ephemeral and illusory. He noted: 'In nature there are no empty spaces, the air between houses is as real as the air inside houses and the houses themselves ... ' In this painting we can see this principle in action as the clouds and their reflections in the water are made as substantial as the hills and the foreshore. A further aspect to note is the subdued palette restricted to mainly blue/grey and green tints. Rather than imitating local colours, McCahon creates an image based on the contrast between cold and warm hues, the blue of sky and water and the green of bush and foreshore . In doing so he was once more following the example of Braque and Picasso who found that a restricted pa lette enhanced the objecthood of their Cubist works and drew attention to their formalist nature. It is also possible to see in Towards Auckland the use of multiple viewpoints, for at times we seem to be looking at forms like the hills at eye level while the harbour and bush appear as if viewed from above. This presentation had the advantage of freeing the artist from the constraints of conventional one-point perspective and allowing the element of time and movement to enter the work. All these ideas and more were to figure prominently in McCahon's later paintings, most especially the Kauri series. This is a particularly fine painting and one that is of great interest because it contains fertile ideas that McCahon was to follow up in his later series.

He made much of his poverty in an almost theatrical sense, drawing attention to it by stunts like asking the well-known art critic Hamish Keith for his discarded clothing 'so that he could keep up appearances.' Mr Piss Quick and his wife by contrast are part of the social establishment to whom wealth and fashionable clothing are of paramount importance. Illingworth explained the origins of the Piss Quick character in his years at a London art gallery where he observed well-to-do men walking quickly through exhibitions before asking directions to the toilet. This is his way of making fun of such characters or 'taking the piss' at their expense. Mr Piss Quick often holds up gold coin as a symbol of his materialistic values and money was readily avai lable to pay for his bodily needs and comforts but not to buy paintings by impoverished artists like Illingworth. In this instance, however, the form that floats above his arm looks more like a small balloon. Mr Piss Quick first appears in lllingworth's art in 1961 in rudimentary form but returns fully elaborated in 1967 accompanied, as here, by his wife. In the mid-196Os Illingworth made his paintings more refined and precise in their drawing and execution while retaining their appealing child-like conception. For example, he appl ies the paint to give an even finish and draws the figures and details like Mr Piss Quick's collar with sharp clear contours. Great attention is paid to the colouring which becomes rich and almost jewel-like. In fact, even a cursory analysis shows that the paintings are quite sophisticated modernist works reflecting lllingworth's knowledge of contemporary art in London and Europe where he lived from 1957-61. His employment as an assistant at Gallery One in London for two years allowed him to meet a range of modernist painters and their patrons. He certainly did not paint his works quickly or without ca refu l thought. He told Barry Lett in 1965: 'The initia l attack is spontaneous, blind. But, then the pa inting has to be rounded off. There is a gradual process of refinement, hours and hours of work until it is finished and then I am utterly exhausted by th e effort.' Illingworth has placed Mr and Mrs Piss Quick side by side facing the viewer front on. His figures display some typical stylistic qualities such as the reduction of the component parts to simple geometric forms like the triangle and oval. They function less as true individuals than as generic figures stamped from a mould. Although both figures have eyes and noses they lack mouths and ears which implies they are cut off in their own conformist world and resistant to new ideas. Mr Piss Quick raises his single arm in a gesture but his arm is handless and ineffectual for any real purpose. His wife has no arms or hands, no voice or real role to play except as his subordinate. Her main adornment is her hat with its little feather that indicates the sphere where she is allowed some minimal self-expression. In this work Illingworth can be aligned with other painters of the 196Os and 197Os who criticised the social values and restrictive mores of the period: Tony Fomison and Philip Clairmont come to mind.

might become something but is certainly nothing at the moment.' Illingworth e,nbraced the notion of the 'outsider' artist. He idealised the role of the painter as a kind of social critic who could reject the values of middle-class New Zealand society and reflect that social loss back to the populace through his art. Finding solace first in Puhoi and later in Coroglen on the Coromandel Peninsula Illingworth found in his distance from city life and society a certain kind of freedom, and this allowed him to react against the conventions of art at the time and acceptable suburban New Zealand values. As such his figures are intentionally na'fve, appearing as aliens in an alien land. The accoutrements of their sophistication - their clothes, money and suburban homes, are in lllingworth's oeuvre merely a bourgeois veneer for people who know not what they do, or why. Today lllingworth 's vision continues to haunt, in figures that implore against the illusory temptations of modern life. Pennie Hunt

In Michael lll ingworth's landscape of mud ochre, volcanic red, pastu re green and ash brown, the artist uses vibrant colours and sinuous shapes to mould a creation myth by embedding a story in the undulations of the land or more precisely, in its sensuous underbelly. In Maori mythology Ranginui, the sky father and Papatuanuku , the earth mother were the primordial couple. Emerging from the great Night, these two lie together in harmony; creating the land and embracing their love in darkness.

Colin McCahon

In early September 1962 Colin McCahon returned to landscape painting after the completion

Northland oil on canvas signed and dated 16/9/62 835 x 824mm Reference: Colin McGahan Database (www.mccahon.co.nz) #CM000510 Provenance: Purchased by the current owner from Eric Scholes Gallery in 1964

of his Second Gate series. From then until the end of the year he made a considerable number

$150,000 - $200,000

of landscapes which, like this early example of the series, were simply entitled Northland. Gordon Brown traces their origins to a set of some eighty Northland brush drawings made in

1959 in ink on yellowish paper. McCahon describes how he brushed in these drawings in a row on the floor of his studio at the Auckland Art Gallery achieving in the process 'a feeling of spontaneity'. He, too, noted: 'They are linked with the Northland series done in oils, but are less strict than the oi ls and I think that finally the ones on paper are better. ' This is debateable. What characterizes both drawings and paintings is the generalized nature of the imagery. None depicts a specific place. Instead McCahon uses a few generic forms to convey his response to the landscape and his strong emotional attachment to it. He wrote in 1977: 'The real Far North of New Zealand is unlike any other part of the land. I can't talk about it. I love it too much.' However, he never lived in the North and his imagery is that of a visitor and traveller passing through the landscape and distilling memories of it in his work. There is a starkness and monumentality in the Northland paintings, as in this example, brought about by the reductive forms used to depict the landscape elements. Almost certainly his experience with pa inting the abstract Gate series influenced his approach. A feature of this painting is the arc-shaped hi ll to the lower right, a motif that recurs throughout the Northland seri es. Here it is painted in subtle ochre tinged with grey, typical of the austere palette used in the series. It is silhouetted against a dark black sky reca ll ing vivid ly McCahon's words 'Up there [in Northland] is like standing on the moon. Way down below is the sea and the edge of the world.' Here that sense of a precipitous fall is enhanced by the way the curve of the hill bisects the picture frame without the mediation of sea or horizon line to break the descent. The dark vertical cleft in the hill accentuates this movement. McCahon's words: 'The very bones of New Zea land were there, bare yellow clay sides running to the sea and black rock.' Above in the sky are a solid moon-like cloud to the left and a less opaque cloud with double-curved contours to the right. The near meeting of the moon-like cloud and the arc-shaped hi ll suggests similar points of tension in the Second Gate series, with the implicati on of a spi ritual way through. Almost certainly there is a symbolic layer of meaning hidden in the landscape motifs of the Northland pa intings implying the presence of God and a spiritual dimension to the series. Northland is a powerful reductive work that demonstrates McCahon's ability to revitalise New

Zealand landscape painting and give ii new intensity. It appears to have been painted quickly and economically with minimal revisions. From the back it is possible to see the main imagery stained through the fibre of the canvas. These Northland paintings led on to his monumental Landscape Series A & B of early 1963.

$120,000 - $160,000

feral, Among the Cabbages, with both humour and an eerie purity of vision, presents one of, if not the, most primal encounters of all. The two children, one brown with heavy dark hair, a wide nose and prominent lips, the other startlingly blond with piercing blue eyes- enact that first garden-based life between Adam and Eve. The girl's glassy eyes are locked in a thousand yard stare suggesting insight into a future understanding that escapes both children in their current time of garden play and botanica l exploration. Perhaps the girl stares at the white butterfly and unconsciously anticipates the flight of Wil liam Blake's "invisible worm". The atmosphere of an Edenic setting, approachable now only through myth and image, is beautifully controlled by Smither with his underwater greens and blues and faintly glowing flesh tones. The lushness and fecund roundness of the cabbages is hard to resist; the proximity of the girl's torso to the rounded plant prefigures her own future capacity to be fruitful and multiply. And, within this enchanted space, this globe of suspended possibi lity, which is doubled by the large glass jar with a paper lid and an emerald green caterpillar inside on its own leaf, the wriggling pink worm appears! A comic reference to both the active male member and the serpent of paradise lost. What makes this pa inting more than just a general, universalised narrative is that it is a Maori boy who, as far as we can tell, with no pants on, and perhaps more 'in touch' with the natura l world than the distracted, ethereal girl, holds up the sign of future sexua l drama and asks the silver blond girl to understand the full physical, sexual relevance of the life-cycle she wants to keep precise and intact in her glass bell jar. Smither's interest and almost reverential respect for significant moments of discovery in the lives of smal l children is clearly demonstrated in other paintings from the 1960s and 1970s and has been taken up again in the last few years. Thomas on Potty, showing a young boy in wrap! concentration trying to get a grip on someth ing he has produced in the pot was painted in 2000, the same year as Sarah with Pink Gloves, which shows that endea ring moment when a child tries unsuccessfully to leap the mismatches of scale and significance between the child's and the adu lt's world. From the days when the artist was first noting these significant, transitional moments in the lives of his own children, Thomas's First Attempt at a Stand-Up Pee, from 1970, Thomas Reaching for the Hot Tap and Thomas in Bath Room, both from 1969, are typical of Smither's abi lity to see such moments as crystallisations of the child's capacity, each time it reaches out, to discover the world in a different way. The painting of Thomas looking out from the bathroom window resonates with ou r cabbage patch painting in that, not only is Thomas separated from the adult's view by the yellow curtain, but he too looks out on a spiky lawn across which the ga rden hose winds like a long snake.

Killeen's art but they are constructed by bits and pieces, by dispersed particles, by visual and physical incidents. His art has always been about congeries of parts, concatenations of bright things , particular shapes and coloured configurations which one feels prompted to pick up and rearrange. In fact since 1978 (the year of his first cut-outs) Killeen has literally acted out and fostered this stimulus to pick up a pictorial fragment, to seize and re-position the optical universe bit by bit. Killeen's busy visual arrays involve simplifications for sure, a reduction of the world's profusion into graphic signs, diagrammatic units and snappy motifs. It is as if the artist has set himself the lifelong task of codifying, item by item, as much of the planet as possible in order to fill a huge graphic Noah's ark, a manic compendium of the visible, a visual primer of everything translated into memorable icons for storage against some cataclysmic future forgetting. Even Killeen's apparently dispassionate title, Structures and References, implies the careful work of matching and categorization employed by encyclopediasts and fastidious cataloguers submitting small details to the demands of their overarching systems. When Killeen made his first cut-outs every shape was painted in one flat colour so that each piece of lacquered aluminium read as a declarative silhouette. The artist's attraction to things cleanly delineated, and the dialectic of figure and ground, was apparent in his earliest figure compositi ons and then intricately mapped in the tessel lated geometric abstractions that fol lowed. The shapes, of animals, birds, fish, insects, tools and less recognizable abstract things, appeared as flat designs on plain grounds in several 1977 paintings. In the actual cutouts, the pieces of aluminium became 'figure' to the white gallery wall's 'ground '; in this way the paintings extended themselves into the literal space of the art gallery- they started to ingest their surrounding environments. This work represents a significant point in the on-going history of Killeen 's career of cut-outs. 1983 was the yea r when the evenly sprayed lacquer surface was replaced by variegated paint finishes - sometimes painterly and brushy, sometimes smoothly brushed or screeded on. At this time alkyd also became the artist's medium of choice and all the cut-outs are pa inted with ii up until Killeen changed again to acryclic paint, primarily, in 1986. Alkyds, ori gina lly used in the automotive industry and for interior house painting, became available to artists in New Zealand in the late 197Os and were regarded as something of a novelty as they dried faster than oils but more slowly than acrylics, and retained some of oil paint's viscous workable characteristics. The contrast of gestural paint application to uniform application is an important element in this work. This technical play-off becomes much more exaggerated in later works; Killeen is testing out a new meth odology here. The assortment of 'image things' or visua l objects in th is painting are typical of many Killeen's in their mixing up of the natural and artificial worlds; of birds, teeth, seedpods and plants with chair legs, cutting tools, chevrons and combs. As Killeen's methods of graphic simplification and associational shape-shifting proceeds, he becomes as much a collector of modes of depiction and invented things as of actually existing things; the boundaries between natural and artificial become strangely elusive. The artist's unstoppable documentation of the world turns into the part-by-part fabrication of a totally surrogate reality.

rectangular white slab of paint in a way that it looks as fresh and unfussed over, yet so ponderous

paintings that fused object, image and idea. A conceptual, narrative, symbolic, textual or scriptural point of origin was always directing the selection of the objects and the fashioning of the image. What makes McCahon so moving so often is his deceptively simple organisation of rudimentary or elemental components, be they objects, shapes, signs or words, in such a way that they seem the clearest representation of themselves at the same time as appearing as indicators of the ordinary world transposed; the ordinary and concrete as signs of what is usually unseen; the numinous as the familiar as if seen for the first time. This work is part of a series done from late 1966 through 1967 and as Gordon Brown has noted, led naturally into a sympathetic series in 1968 known as the Visible Mysteries paintings in which the altar and heart imagery was continued with sometimes more complex structuring of the altar. What McCahon said of the Visible Mysteries series I think must also apply to the preceding Still Life with Altar works: "[The series] says something about where I wanted to go and what I was

painting about - but not enough. I didn't reach far enough. I feel that some of the series will eventually be seen as more successful than they might now appear.... I also needed much more time to really think out all its implications." McCahon is clearly troubled with his inability to assess the gap between the metaphysical and spiritual freight he hoped these paintings would bear and their actual effectiveness at communicating elusive though profound content. Specifically this content is to do with meditation on the death and resurrection of Christ and the on-going presence of the Divine in the everyday world as signified in the celebration of the Eucharist. But for McCahon, this longing for the spiritual mediated through things and symbols is not about getting beyond what is seen and touched as much as recognising the totality of the world as a given mystery. Which is why the spoken, the written and the represented are constantly bound with the unrepresentable and the ineffable in McCahon's overall project. The inscription, adapted from Cathol ic order of service, on the back of each of the Visible Mysteries paintings, also illuminates the thinking behind the altar paintings: "Grant that what we have received in visible mysteries we may receive in its invisible effects". The central and sublimely unrepresentable principle of the incarnation, of the Divine becoming physical and visible, is at the heart of this entreaty. McCahon's on-going project is largely about endeavouring to do justice to this impossible meeting of the visible and the invisible. His conception of what painting is ultimately about, turns on a recognition that painting can enact, or demonstrate this maddening duality. That painting itself can approach an almost Eucharistic status. The hovering, touching, and approaches between forms that almost touch, in these two series of paintings help to construct a conflicted space pregnant with possibility, apprehension, doubt, and sensuous affirmation. The generous, bulbous form of the swelling, moon-like heart in this particular painting, and the nicely judged gap between itself and the white marble of the altar table ensure that a carefully sprung tension remains central to the painting's effects. This tension in turn establishes an alertness in the spectator, as if we are not quite sure what will happen next, or what the painting might reveal to us. The combination of uncertainty along with a sense of shifting possibilities of meaning that we wait for and listen for, makes McCahon's painting at home in the company of 17th century Metaphysical poetry in which writers such as John Donne and George Herbert sought to lace words and cleanly drawn images with a capacity to signify beyond themselves in a devotional, prayerful sense of attentive invention.

Ralph Hotere

Pine without Singing is one of a series of works made by Hotere based on a poem written

Pine: Without Singing acrylic on canvas title inscribed, signed and dated '88 and inscribed from pine a poem by Bill Manhire; inscribed verso Yanne Land Gallery, Pine

for him by his friend Bill Manhire. Hotere has often used poetry from writers he knows in his

cat. #8

paintings and drawings in a special kind of col laboration, as did Colin McCahon before him. Manhire has described the origins of the Pine poem as follows: 'At one stage while I was living in London in the early 1970s, I sent Ralph a piece of poetry each week. Every so often I would

1970 x 1805mm

put in the mail a postcard with the word PINE on it - plus a line of poetry. Ralph did a series

of works - mostly stuff on paper - using bits of that text. I've always found pine forests really

$300,000 - $400,000

scary and interesting in the way Janet Frame did.' Several lines of the poem can be found in the present painting: 'Pine Pine Pine Without singing', 'Buried and si lent/ Silent and buried' and 'Asleep & asleep & spreading your arms'. These lines evoke the pine forest in winter covered in a mantle of snow. The lines are used here, as in all the works from the series, with the word Pine usual ly repeated several times. This accurately captures the way Manhire sent the poem to Hotere in lines, one at a time, accompanied by the word Pine. To further clarify the source of the lines Hotere has inscribed on the canvas the attribution to Manhire: 'From Pine a poem by Bill Manhire. ' Hotere also includes numerals from 1 to 14 in the series giving what Greg O'Brien has called 'a ritualistic sense' to them. This allows various interpretations as does Hotere's play on the word Pine itself where there is a shift from its use as a noun (a type of tree) and a verb (to miss and long for someone or something). The first group of works in the Pine series belongs to 1972 and is in watercolour on paper, loosely washed in. A later set of 1974 takes the form of woodblock prints, one of which includes the lines 'Buried and silent' and 'Si lent and buried' with the number 11 (perhaps it was the eleventh line he received from Manhire 7 ). Later on, in the late 1970s and the mid1980s, as in this work, he introduced the Pine poem on large canvases with the loose informal presentation of his other paintings of the period. In this example the text is inscribed over a loosely painted geometric structure of rectangles and triangles that relate to the eyelets of the canvas support. The central rectangular field contains an area of soft focus colour, with white worked over an underlying layer of ochre. In all the works there is a play off between the natural world and the man made and the all usion to human responses and emotions. The central field evokes the idea of snow falling gently on the pine trees and covering them the lines 'Silent and buried' and 'Without singing' complement this reading as does 'Asleep

& asleep & spreading your arms'. In the winter the forest is silent and the birds do not sing and the branches of the trees spread out holding layers of snow. Of course, there is no need to accept any one interpretation of a painting as rich and subtle in its potential meanings as this one. That is part of the power and economy of Hotere's art that so much is contained in what appears to be an almost minimalist format. He draws on his knowledge of European abstraction in composing the painting but introduces his own personal inflections to it. Finally the inscribed words 'for Cilia' are a dedication to his former wife Cilia McQueen.

Milan Mrkusich Progression, Achromatic acrylic on canvas tit le inscribed, signed and dated '94 verso 905 x 1690mm

$50,000 - $60,000

According to Lewis Mrkusich's Biographical Information about his father's life and paintings, the idea for the 'progression' paintings was, "the culmination of an idea that had beginnings in 1985." This places the idea for them chronologically before the 'journey' paintings even though they were not painted until after that series was fin ished in 1989. It was as if something about the 'progression ' paintings sparked thoughts that had to be explored before these paintings were able to be successfully completed. This exploration culminates in the simple rectangularity of structure in Progression Achromatic in which there is no physical disruption to the integrity of edge . Yet there is

a perceptual disturbance to that edge, a feature which stems from the projective and recessive character of the adjacent colours, with the pale central area straining to be seen as lying in front of those around it, its borders seemingly at odds with theirs. The word 'progression' in the title of this painting directs the viewer to an understanding of its internal structure in terms of an interrelationship of scale between each of the blocks of colour. The eye perceives a rationale behind the position of each internal division as if consistent with some kind of mathematically sequential ordering principle. This offers an implicit sense of wholeness to the structure of Progression Achromatic, with each block of colour reliant on and interconnected to the others. In keeping with Mrkusich's skill as a colourist, the complexity of the colours used across the canvas provides another unifying feature in Progression Achromatic. Each colour has a very specific and controlled composition with a commonality of colour that is mutually binding. Even the pale, more atmospheric area is unexpectedly held in place by what looks like a seepage of colour from those adjacent to ii, and in web like fashion this intermingling of colour lessens its reactive properties, furnishing the painting with just the right sense of poise.

Tony Fomison

Many years ago during some civil conflict and upheaval in West or Central Africa,

Mountain Man oil on hessian on board 540 x 936mm Provenance: From the collection of potter, Barry Brickell , Coromandel

I was moved by a political poster showing a muscular African male torso with

$55,000 - $75,000

the reversed out text stating "Our Men Are Our Mountains". That simple image and text has been with me all those years and it flicks up from my memory bank on occasions especially when confronted with many of the later works of Tony Fomison. These include his paintings of Volcanic cones, Maori Spiritual leaders and Ariki Te Puna from Aotearoa. The Fomison painting Mountain Man and the position it holds in the Barry Brickell Collection is of considerable interest. The links between Fomison and Brickell go back a long way. Both these artists have often been perceived as rather curious outsiders in the World of New Zealand's Art and Craft. Their personal bonds were strengthened when Fomison during his "late nomadic period" sought refuge at Driving Creek Railway. It was here he produced a significant number of paintings and a collection of ceramic works. These small clay items explored in three dimensions the plasticity of everyday objects and the interface/intergration with the notion of the Wairua Te Puna (Ancestral Spirits). When Fomison fina lly settled in at Will iamson Avenue, Grey Lynn with its long

Tony Fomison's stud io, 1990. Mountian Man ca n be seen against the wa ll in th e background .

and proud Polynesian Heritage, the challenge of producing strong large scale works again became of primary importance to him. Wai rua Te Puna is never far from the surface of these dark, mysterious and complex works. The painting "Mountain Man" was amongst the last works Tony Fomison was working on before his untimely death on Waitangi Day 1990. Mountain into Man/Man into Mountain is the final manifestation of this quest. The Mark Adams photograph taken immediately following Fomison's death documents the painting in situ in the artist's Studio. The Painting hung for a long time in Barry Brickel l's inner most sanctum at Driving Creek Pottery and Rai lway before "being instructed to sel l the work" and re-employ the funds to assist with the project to produce a predator free environment at Driving Creek so rare species of native birds and plants can live once aga in without the fear of predation. A worthy cause - A worthy painting. John Perry

MAGNIFICENT JEWELS, DIAMOND SOLITAIRES, ANTIQUE AND MODERN JEWELLERY Please note: where gemologica l 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.

487 ASandalwood Glory Box with Maori Carving and Centennial Crest The 1940 celebrations of the Treaty of Waitangi generally sidelined Maori culture over a nationalistic imperative; hence objects such as this folk art centennial piece are rare. The carver has appropriated this iconic unmarried woman 's trousseau box as a medium to display low relief carved panels of rauponga and repeating tiki plaques framing an invented crest with Southern Cross, ferns , kiwi and the centenary's dates. The front is carved with a pare (lintel) shaped plaque incorporating the tiki image again along with manaia figures. W.900mm see illustration

733 BRENDON MARK CATLEY "New Beginnings" Furniture Art

Born in the Waikato in 1955, Gatley was educated at St Pauls Collegiate and attended Canterbury University. Following operating an interior decorating business in Auckland he has since become a successful furniture maker and designer based at Te Puna in Tauranga. Gatley uses timbers that he has milled and dried himself and apart from native timber when available he uses oak, elm , chestnut, blackwood and walnut. Origianlly interpreting English and French country style handcrafted furniture Gatley sold his first pieces through his father's Taupo antique shop. Inspiration to create a New Zealand vernacular furniture manifested alter reading the book "The Last Maori War in New Zealand " written by his great, great, great grandfather, Major-General Sir George Stoddart Whitmore, K.C.M.G., N.Z.M. Calley's first piece of 'Furniture Art' is entitled "New Beginnings" and has pre-Maori, Maori and European influences. The work is monogrammed and numbered , it contains four elements, timber (from an eight hundered year old pohutukawa), steel, paua shell and hand-made glass. Calley's interpretation of the North and South Islands is represented by the two wooden pedestals joined by "water", the corrugated glass. The carving represents pre-Maori and is inspired by the 12-14th Century door lintel found near Kaitaia; the paired zig-zag design is inspired by a renowned carved post, the dwelling-place for the spirit Uenuku from Tainui Maori culture; the use of steel has symbolism in it's association with the arrival of European settlers and soldiers. The pohutukawa timber and paua are obviously indiginous materials. W.2090mm, H.1030mm

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.

opening bid or may open the bidding on your behalf at the Auctioneers estimate at the Auctioneer's sole discretion.

Important note: Please refer to full conditions of sale for buyers printed in the reverse of this catalogue and displayed in the saleroom. Registration All intending buyers must comp lete a bidding form available from the reception desk

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 wi ll proceed without your bidding. Our staff wi ll ask you to hold when we have made contact. They will then te ll 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.

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 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 wi ll 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 wil l 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
