SIMON KAAN
OIL ON WORKERS' BEDS
It is with great pleasure that Webb's will host an exhibition of new works by young Chinese/Ngai Tahu descended artist, Simon Kaan. It will be the artist's first solo exhibiton in Auckland and represents an excellent opportunity for Auckland collectors to view a substantial body of work by this exciting young artist. The show, entitled Oil on Workers' Beds, will feature new work completed whilst the artist was on a recent Creative New Zealand funded residency in Beijing. Judging by recent auction results for the artist, the works will be eagerly sought after. Due to time constraints the show will only run for a week from October 14th to the 21st. A preview will be held on Friday the 14th of October at 6:00pm which the artist will attend . Please note that some, or all works may sell prior to the preview. Prospective buyers should contact Ben Plumbly: (09) 529 5601 or email: bplumbly@webbs.co.nz IN FOCUS

What becomes of the Taxidermied? A frequently asked question following the successful sale of the Crofskey and Smart collection of taxidermy on May 21st 2005 was, who buys such things and what would one do with them 7 A stroll along Ponsonby's cafe and fashion mile provides part of the answer, with one of the street's most interesting shops displaying pieces formerly belonging in the Crofskey and Smart collection. A regular customer at Webb's, Mark Crane of Wunde rkammer, was a buyer of many of the more interesting specimens in the catalogue, and an underbidder of quite a few more. Mark Crane is a both a dea ler in objects exotic, strange and curious and a retailer of menswear, including the exclusive French fashion house, Comme des Garcons' range of men's clothing and fragrances. His shop at 76A Ponsonby Road is one of Auckland's most original and interesting, displaying an eclectic mix of nostalgic bric-a-brac and very contemporary male fashion, al l put together with great individuality and artistic flai r.
cA'gnes Curran Anothe r Ponsonby located regular buyer from Webb's sa les, Cameron Woodcock, is the owner of the delightful little cafe Agnes Curran at the top of Frankl in Road.
The cafe, named after Cameron's grandmother, stocks a range of kitchen bowls and jugs - both old and new, and serves a range of del icious cakes and biscuits including the best lamingtons in town. Here, Cameron shows off his latest acqu isition, a Frank Ca rpay 'Handwerk ' vase, purchased at Webb's sale of New Zealand Studio Pottery and Ceramics last month.
A letter received .. In Webb's June sale of Sporting Memorabilia , an autographed photograph of former All Black, S.F. (Tiny) Hill was purchased by Dianne Haworth and presented to the touring London Welsh Rugby Club Male Choir as a memento of their visit to New Zealand in support of the British and Irish Lions. Dianne Haworth writes, 'Cantabrians, led by Tiny Hil l showed them hospitality second to none - including an unforgettable day at a high county sheep station. The presentation of the photograph was made on their final night in Auckland. The choir was delighted and now Tiny Hill is in his new home on the other side of the world. Tiny's comment when told about this was a chuckle and "what a lot of bloody silly rubbish 1" I think this means he is pleased.'

Going, Going, Gone .... The June auction catalogue witnessed another fine and varied offering of interesting art works.
The sale featured neither the quantity nor the qua lity displayed in the April catalogue and, in retrospect, this probably wasn't a bad thing. Although the pass-in rate was relatively high on the evening of the sa le, severa l outstanding resu lts were ach ieved both under the hammer and in the frenzy of negotiations which ensued in the days following the sale. New auction records were set for Kathryn Madi ll ($3, 100), Peter Robinson ($43,000), John Walsh ($45,000), Ku ra Te Waru-Rewiri ($3,500), Andrew Mc Leod ($6,500), Doris Lusk ($50,000) , Ian Scott ($6,250), James F. Scott ($8,000) and Paul Beadle ($10,000). The trend by col lectors towards previously undervalued areas of artistic endeavour is something which we at Webb's have noticed building over the last year or so. One such area is print-making. The June sa le featured excellent examples of etch ings, linocuts and woodcuts by Robin White, E. Mervyn Taylor and Adele Younghusband respectively, all of which sold very wel l. Robin White's Sainimele Goes Fishing made an excellent $6,600, whilst E. Mervyn Taylor's Magical Wooden Head (Polynesian Legend) realized $3,600 and Adele Younghusband's Workers made $3,300. The market for contemporary Polynesian and Maori art is another which continues to expand rapidly. The record prices recorded for Robinson, Te Waru-Rewiri and Walsh were accompanied by strong prices for Simon Kaan ($10,000 and $14,000), John Pu le ($14,000) and Jacqueline Fraser ($3,500). Very strong prices were also achieved for works by New Zealand's pre-eminent female artists. Frances Hodgkins was represented in the sale by four works, all of which sold well. The resplendent Mill House, Ponterwyd was a fine example of her late works in gouache and it sailed

Russell Clark Old Keta and Friend oil on board c.1949 signed 495 x 535mm Provenance: Private collection, Northern Ireland
$45,000 - $65,000
Old Keta, (Te Papa) is arguably Russell Clark's most famous painting of Maori and
was first exhibited in 1949. It marks the beginning of a series made after he visited the Urewera country that year to prepare illustrations for a special issue of the School Journal. The present painting includes Old Kela in the same pose as in the Te Papa work but includes an additional figure seated beside her. Both works would have been painted in his Christchurch studio from sketches made by Clark on location. He had not previously had much contact with Maori who lived in rural areas where they still preseNed their language and customs. He found his visit to the Urewera enormously stimulating and the Tuhoe people and landscape impressive. He later wrote, 'It is a fine country. The Maoris are almost completely unspoiled'. Old Kela led on to a number of paintings and sculptures of Maori subjects that preoccupied Clark well into the 1950s. By contrast with Old Kela in Te Papa, who appears as a solitary figure alone with her thoughts, the present work introduces another elderly woman, also with a pipe, seated closely beside her suggesting friendship and conversation. Keta's turned head now is directed towards her friend so that the figures are bonded together in a subtle transformation of the original pose. Both monumental figures are seated directly on the ground and are conceived as at one with the landscape of volcanic hills and overcast sky. By concentrating on the sculptural mass of the two figures Clark gives them a dignity and importance that transgresses their simple clothes and bare feet. He makes them belong to the land as tangata whenua and conveys something of their mana and cultural values. About this time, though, rural Maori began to move to the cities to find work and

better educational prospects for their children. In retrospect, Clark's paintings record a passing way of life embodied in the elderly women. He shows Maon in European rather than traditional dress and already different from the images of older artists who depicted Maon like Goldie and Linley Richardson . Clark's paintings depict the reality of rural Maori in the late 1940s but are not primarily concerned with documentation. Instead they relate to British art of the 1940s, especially the figure drawings of Henry Moore whose work Clark admired. In his drawings, one of which Clark bought, the figures are those of a sculptor, bulky and three-dimensional. Moore made the draperies heavy and simple in form and the limbs and feet of his figures large and strong. In this painting Clark follows the conventions of Moore and adapts them to his New Zealand subjects, using strong shadows to give substance to them. His skills as an illustrator and draftsman allowed him to express feelings and interactions between figures as is evident here. Like Moore his figures are conceived broadly and he handled paint with an enjoyment of texture, as is evident in the painting of the women's skirts. Clark did not take photographs but was able to use his compositional inventiveness and technical skills to freely arrange figures based on sketches from life. As this painting demonstrates, Clark could use a figure like Old Keta in more than one painting and create a different but related composition. He liked to paint in series so that he could experiment with a range of colours and textures as happens in this instance where Old Keta's skirt and shirt are red and green instead of white and red as In the Te Papa painting. Old Kela and Friend is an early and fine example of Russell Clark's images of Maori and must date to 1949. At the period Clark was seeking to achieve a New Zealand dimension in his art comparable to that of Russell Drysdale's paintings of Aboriginals in Australia. Michael Dunn

Pat Hanly White Model enamel on board title inscribed, signed and dated '77; title inscribed and dated verso; original printed Hanly label affixed verso 710 x 710mm
In 1967 Pat Hanly wrote a schema for his future work in which the iridescent palette of his paintings were to play a defining role. 'Colour' he wrote is 'not as suggested by appearance but by intuitive reaction to the purpose/function of the objects or things.' 1 Though it was painted some ten years later, White Model, (1977), still adheres to these principles in its miasma of poured enamel colour contained within a

shapely silhouette. Though Hanly may claim the works are intuitive,
Like a MRI image of the head viewed in profile, Hanly's painting conveys an intimate anatomy normally concealed beneath the opal veneer of skin.
Yet rather than tracing the medical exactitudes of
his subject, Hanly maps the model in a different way by tracing her 'luminous interiority'.
As each of us is formed from a collection of
matter fused together distinctly, so are Hanly's portraits - colour and its application signals an aura of personal chemistry formed in response to the individual subject White Model was shown in Christchurch in August of 1977 at the Brooke/Gifford Gallery along with 15 other works. Two of these were torso paintings; three were colour note drawings while the remainder of the show was comprised of these pure painting pieces of which White Model is an example. For Hanly pure painting was defined as the ability to 'rejoice in all things'. The year before White Model was painted, Hanly showed a series of these works at the Barry Lett Galleries in Auckland. In an artist's statement that furnishes part of the catalogue, he describes his works as having the ability to 'celebrate Freedom and purity of perception and attempt to reach a graceful sophistication only possible through the realisation of the Essence of a Condition; Love, Pacific, Summer, Ecstasy, Spring'. Reading this idealist statement now it seems almost quaint It is hard to imagine any contemporary artist discussing his or her works in these terms. Yet Hanly was always an artist who sought to express his own voice. Unlike most painters of the human form Hanly sought not to paint the individual as a whole, but rather as the sum of his or her parts that are here filtered through his own observation, feeling and perception.

Colin McCahon Muriwai No. 7 solpah enamel and sand on board title inscribed, signed and dated March 1969 and inscribed As there is a constant flow of light, we are born into a pure land; title inscribed, signed and dated March 19, 1969 and inscribed 7 verso 304 x 304mm Reference: Colin McCahon database #CM000348 $70,000 - $90,000
In 1969 McCahon established a studio at Muriwai, north of Auckland, where he painted many of his largest and most important works. The landscape and beach at Muriwai became increasingly a point of reference in his painting from that time on, but not in a literal sense. Muriwai No 7 is one of a series of related paintings abstracted from nature suggesting the alternation of sky, sea and shore In bands of tone of the utmost economy and breadth of handling. They are elemental landscapes that go to the essence of things at Muriwai as they were remembered and distilled by the artist back in his studio. They allow him to introduce symbolic and metaphorical dimensions to the paintings that greatly enlarge the meanings of these physically small works. These images connect back to slightly earlier landscapes, especially the small waterfalls of the mid-1960s in the austere, reductive treatment of landscape influenced by American minimalist abstraction of the period. The white of the surf in the Muriwai series becomes the redeeming light penetrating through the darkness of the material world as had the cuNe of the waterfall in the earlier series. Spiritual illumination is an important theme here rather than the conseNationist meanings of the colourful gouaches he painted at Munwai soon after, In 1971. Important in this context is the box at the lower left corner of the painting that contains a hand-written text with the following words: 'As there is a constant flow of light we are born into a pure land.' This text is used in other paintings of the series and provides a link between them. As usual with McCahon, the words are not his but are quoted from a Japanese Buddhist text that extols the virtues of one Amida who had attained Buddha-hood. The relevant section reads: 'As there is a constant flow of Light, He is known as the Buddha of Constancy; because of perceiving tho power of Light, with an uninterrupted faith, we are born into the Pure Land.' The appeal of the text to McCahon is obvious because he had often used light as a metaphor for spiritual enlightenment and had identified New Zealand with the biblical Promised Land. He was not the first New Zealand painter to turn to Eastern religions for inspiration as Rita Angus, a personal friend, had done so in the 1940s. McCahon's text is inserted in the painting in a manner that recalls Japanese and Chinese traditional landscape paintings where the calligraphic text is often painted in a corner of the scroll introducing a poetic or meditative dimension to the imagery. As Eastern artists painted calligraphic texts alongside or over their landscape paintings to augment their meanings, so did McCahon In his own individual manner. In Muriwai No. 7 McCahon has detached the text from the spatial continuum of his landscape so that it appears as if placed in front of it. Later, he would introduce the handwritten texts into the landscape space itself so that the words appear inseparable from them. In this case the separation is greater and the reading of the words requires a separate process when viewing the painting. A minor point should also be noted. McCahon changed the original words 'the Pure Land' into 'a Pure Land' enlarging the meaning and making 11 more inclusive.

Bill Hammond Watching for Buller (Costume Design) oil on canvas, triptych title inscribed, signed and dated 1994 450 x 300mm each panel 450 x 900mm overall illustrated: p. 14 of this catalogue detail
$100,000 - $150,000
Standing still and waiting for the inevitable - Bill Hammond's birds appear as if staged, like curious players in a mythical drama. Though they possess the elegance and refinement of marble statues, each is swathed in a fabric adorned with the swirling patterns of native fems which are woven upon a variety of rich and regal colours that glow eerily against the dark backdrop. Despite their fashion model repose, these colossuses occupy a barren landscape and look like trees soon to be felled. From the early 199Os Hammond has painted birds adorned in Chinoiserie fabrics, creating his own brand of iconography for the New Zealand landscape. The mention of Buller in the work's title refers to Walter Lawry Buller (1838-1906) author and artist of the lithographed compendium A History of the Birds of New Zealand. Though Buller's realistically documented subjects differ
in tone from Hammond's, the two share a sense of nostalgia in their winged depictions; Buller for the 'fast expiring' species he as an ornithologist helped to decimate and Hammond for the detrimental aspects of exploration and colonisation typified by Buller - and his ilk's - scientific practices. The tripartite arrangement, or triptych format of Watching for Buller seems to present scenes from recent history.
The triptych is
traditionally used by artists to portray significant and celebrated events, such as the labours of Christ that can then be elucidated in a sequence of scenes. Hammond doesn't go so far as to show the crucifixion or literal decimation of these birds, rather he holds them in a state of timeless suspension. Neither real nor fantasy, fact or fiction, they exist as spectres on the land, watching and waiting - a quiet and resolute presence. Pennie Hunt

Goldie's name and reputation are synonymous with paintings of old time Maori and Memories is a classic example of his best and most memorable work. Painted in 1903 some four years after his return from Paris where he studied at the famous Academie Julian, it is a breathtaking example of his academic technique of painting. No other artist in New Zealand could equal his highly finished yet effortless rendering of textures of skin, hair and fabric with illusionistic veracity. You can literally feel the difference between the wrinkled folds of the elderly sitter's skin and the cold shiny surface of the ear pendant with which he has skilfully contrasted it. This illusionism is reinforced by details like the shadow cast by the pendant that makes ii appear so real you want to reach out and hold it in your hand. Goldie had spent years studying from the life model in the competitive environment of Paris, then the art capital of the world, under demanding masters like the Salon painter William Bouguereau. The discipline he acquired in drawing from the life is very apparent in this portrait where the features are rendered and modelled with absolute sureness, yet with breadth and gravity. For Goldie has used a powerful effect of chiaroscuro (light/dark contrast) to cast one side of the face into partial shadow. The downcast turn of the eyes allows pools of shadow also to form around them reinforcing the emotional theme of the work, an old chieftainess alone with her thoughts of the past. By using a spare composition of head and shoulders centred on an oval Goldie gives the portrait simplicity and dignity. The sitter, Harata Rewiri Tarapata, was a favourite model of Goldie who sat for him on a number of occasions at his studio in Hobson's Buildings in Shortland Street. She was the widow of the chief Paora Tuhaere of Orakei and lived at the Maori Hostel at Mechanics Bay. She al30 sat the same year for a major painting The Widow that was presented to the wife of Lord Ranfurly, the Governor, who took ii back to Ireland. It is now in Te Papa. Whereas in The Widow, Harata is shown sitting in a whare surrounded by relics of her husband, in this portrait her loneliness and isolation are implied rather than spelt out. The portrait gains in emotional force from that fact. Harata's adornments are few - her fine moko painted with great skill and accuracy by Goldie, and her striking greenstone ear pendant. The colour of the greenstone contributes tellingly to the harmony of green and grey that is such a feature of the painting. Her dress is European, a smock and a plain neck-scarf. Portraits of aged sitters were popular at the time in Europe where there was a revival of interest in the psychological portraiture of Rembrandt. By adding the Maori sitter Goldie gave a local and distinctive dimension to the theme. There was added poignancy, too, because it was widely believed such sitters were the 'last of their race' to use the words of Richard Singer writing for the Thad magazine the year this work was painted. He also commented: 'from Mr Goldie one obtains a true and brilliant impression not only of the habits and customs, but of the very character, the very life, the idiosyncrasies of nature and of feature of Maori - characteristics that in a few short years it will no longer be possible to represent'.

'Art unions' were raffles of works of art, providing vital opportunities for colonial artists to market their works. In a period before the existence of dealer galleries, when art society shows were infrequent and venues to exhibit were rare, art unions provided the possibility of a solo exhibition with guaranteed sales. But socalled 'art unions' also represented one of the dodgier sides of colonial business practice, which is why the institution came to be regulated under the Gaming and Lotteries Act of 1880. Artists needed to obtain official permission, the draw would occur under police supervision, and the names of prize-winners were published in the newspapers. This tight regulation can be regarded as a godsend for colonial art history, for the documentation allows us to trace the marketing and earliest ownership of some important works of art. View of the Rock of Maketu, near Drury, valued at 15 guineas, was the first prize in Alfred Sharpe's Christmas art union of 1880. The ten prizes, amounting to a total value of £50, were exhibited over December at Edward Wayte's stationery shop In Queen Street, where the numbered tickets were available at ten shillings each. The draw took place on 21 December, and the following morning's Herald announced that John Boylan, C.E., was the lucky first prize-winner. A civil engineer occupied with assessing the Waitakere Ranges' potential for supplying Auckland's water, Boylan must have been delighted by his win, with its distant prospect of the sun setting over the Waitakeres. The painting preserves much of the intense colour that Sharpe achieved with successive washes of diluted watercolour, a technique outlined in the series of 'Hints for Landscape Students in Watercolour' which he began publishing in the Herald in 1880. Sharpe explains his practice of transferring a careful colour sketch to a large, tightly stretched sheet of sized watercolour paper, capable of receiving the endless washes needed to achieve a suitably rich yet transparent colouring. Sharpe believed that his technique would render his paintings more permanent, capable of reaching a distant posterity, and the condition of many of his surviving works certainly confirms this conviction. The 'rock of Maketu' is an ancient pa of the Waiohua people, a site commanding a breathtaking view of the southern approach to the Auckland isthmus, under which nestles a settler's elaborate farmhouse. During the 1863 war, Maketu pa was fortified by Ngati Pou who executed guerilla raids around the Drury area. Seventeen years later, as part of the 144,000 acres of confiscated land around Franklin, Maketu was a thriving settler community complete with a school. The painting belongs to a series of works by Sharpe which embody an overt historical dimension, juxtaposing signs of a Maori past with those of a colonial present. The period around 1880 represents the peak of Alfred Sharpe's career, when he threw himself wholeheartedly into the artistic life of Auckland. In that year he held two art unions, published the first of his technical writings, and was elected to the committee of the newly established Auckland Society of Arts. He was also an avid contributor of anonymous and often vitriolic newspaper commentaries in which he lashed out at powerful bodies such as the City Council and the Acclimatisation Society. In combination with his profound deafness, ii was this disputatious temperament that inexorably led to Sharpe's social alienation and ultimate departure from Auckland in 1887. In 1880, however, every sunset still seemed rosy. Roger Blackley

Alfred Sharpe Logging in the Coromandel watercolour signed and dated 1882 590 x 930mm Illustrated: Roger Blackley, The Art of Alfred Sharpe, (Auckland City Art Gallery, 1992), p. 69. Provenance: private collection, Auckland. $95,000 - $125,000
Alfred Sharpe was passionate about New Zealand's native trees, celebrating their special qualities in his large-scale watercolour paintings and in a series of essays and letters published in Auckland's newspapers during the 1870s and 1880s. There were also many poems, irreconcilable with modem taste but revealing in terms of Sharpe's characterisation of Nature as a place of escape from the ·sordid meanness ever pulsing .. in Mammon's mart'.' Out in the bush, the profoundly deaf artist rejoiced in an alternative society - There with friends I am surrounded/There no solitude I feel'. While In the poems he addresses the trees by their Maori names, on other occasions Sharpe hears them speaking in Latin - 'I never go into the forest without seeming to hear from every bosky covert of virgin greenery the sad, sad words, "Morituri te salutant" - 'Those about to die salute thee'".
It is Sharpe's awareness of both the enormity and the irreversibility of the ecological changes wrought by colonisation that informs so many aspects of his watercolours. Given the compelling example of colonial exploitation represented by Auckland's kauri milling industry, it was inevitable that Sharpe should produce a sequence of works commenting in various ways on the holocaust befalling his beloved kauri, whose ·round limbs so shapely' produced such unparalleled timber. The best known of these works is A jam in the lava cleft, painted in 1878, which depicts three kauri logs at rest in a creek bed near Papakura. Logging in the Coromandel shows us the higher altitude work that led to such log jams, always
a danger when the gigantic kauri logs were dispatched via flooded creeks. In place of the gloomy solitude of the log jam, Sharpe reveals the human side of the industry in the form of two timber workers and their Maori-built dwelling nestled among young kauri. In front of the house, taking up the right foreground, are the stumps of half a dozen giant kauri, while the left foreground is dominated by a pale stump and the skeleton of a dead tree. Michael Dunn's influential essay 'Frozen Flame and Slain Tree' examines how the mutilated ghosts of the forest haunted the romantic modernism of the 1930s and 40s.
There are
tree stumps to be found in the foregrounds of innumerable nineteenth-century landscape paintings but, as Dunn points out, their presence usually indicates colonial improvement of the landscape. Yet faced with Sharpe's poignant image, it is impossible to ignore a symbolic engagement with the processes then laying waste to vast stretches of provincial Auckland. Logging in the Coromandel is effectively a memento marl, or meditation on death. We confront
the end of the ancient kauri forests, systematically eliminated within a half-century, as well as the wider loss of an imaginary, 'uncontaminated' New Zealand that pre-existed colonisation. Sharpe was right to express disgust over the wanton nature of the exploitation, and he urged New Zealand to emulate America's landscape preservation initiative of Yellowstone Park. Referring to surviving stretches of kauri at Waitakere, Sharpe asked ·would it not be wise to reserve at least one of the best clumps there, so that the next generation may see what kauri were like?·• Such conservation appeals were ahead of his time, as was the stark realism of landscape watercolours which received short shrift from contemporary critics. Sharpe's solace was the melancholy realization that he was painting for posterity, for 'the hereafter, when .. people will arise and call us blessed for the botanical and ethnological records we shall leave behind us'."

$65,000 - $85,000
In an exhibition catalogue for his show 'Inside' the Garden at the Barry Lett Galleries in 1969 Pat Hanly quotes the English poet William Blake who once wrote the lines:
The Universe 1n a grain of sand and eternity ,n a flower Though Blake's words reflect upon the discoveries of his own age, wonders made apparent to the human eye through telescopes and microscopes, Hanly uses them to evoke a similarly resounding disruption of his own world-view that was to affect much of his painting In the late 1960's and one that Is strongly apparent in Two Tamarillos. As Blake's world was revealed to him as expanding universally out beyond the human body and inversely minutely within it, Hanly was to discover that the Universe itself - comprised of sand, flowers and many other things besides was in fact subject to certain properties of physics. The laws of molecular biology that reveal that solid matter is not in fact static but instead that minute particles are constantly in motion was to significantly alter Hanly's world view. In his diary the artist wrote 'everything living is full of colour activity of molecular happening and now I will make works on this new-found basis. Energy colours ... stationary nudes, eggs, seed ... I paint now perhaps to render my philosophical response.' It led him to paint both figure and ground in brightly lit crystals of colour that were also in keeping with the vibe of the late 1960's and ?O's. Looking at Two Tamarillos with its vigorous colours and minutely dotted atoms of paint. one can't help but think Hanly was perhaps under the influence. In the documentary
Pacific Ikon produced in 1998, Hanly spoke freely of the spirit of the age and his own participation in it. This was a time when many people's life experiences were engendered physically and so-called experimental thinking was often drug-induced. Similarly with the social influences of the sexual revolution Hanly began to express a more cosmic view of physical love as a kind of electrical energy, conveyed in works like Ecstasy Condition. Passion, (1975) In which whip-like filigrees of paint become evocative of neurons and axons. Biological metaphors also abound in Two Tamarillos whose oval shapes signal eggs and sperm, the essence of life's beginnings. When Hanly was later to paint his wife Gil's garden in all its unrestrained splendour, it is the garden as a source of life and energy that his work captures. Colours jostle against each other like the fragments of everyday matter and are constrained only by their object boundaries. Indeed In Two
Tamarillos the objects seem to hover like alien spacecraft above a densely populated ground, their boundaries marked by dark shadows. Despite their apparent two-dimensionality the fruit seem to teem with an energy that is enervated In colour which is laid on the canvas as if the artist were physically evincing organic chemistry. The two tamarillos are seen from the inside out, demonstrating Hanly's premise that even 'in the most humble and ordinary object can be found the most remarkable visual adventure.' Pennie Hunt

Zealand Paintings and Watercolours. Late Joys, The Dunedin Public Art Gallery, April - July 1977. Reference: Arthur R. Howell: Frances Hodgkins, Four Vital Years, (1951 ), pp. 105, 109.
$250,000 - $350,000
Frances Hodgkins painted Three Roses about 1937 when her personal style as a painter was fully developed. In 1928 she had been accepted by an avantgarde group of British artists as a member of the Seven and Five Society and had exhibited alongside painters like Winifred Nicholson, Christopher Wood and David Jones at the Society's annual show at the Leicester Galleries, London. But by 1935 she had cut her ties with the Seven and Five Society and struck out on her own, asserting her identity as a painter of individual character and development. Over the years her painting had become freer and less representational, more abstract and more lyrical, and as we see here more rhythmic. Her interest in child art encouraged her to allow intuition to enter the creative process and to give more spontaneity to her drawing and handling of space in her paintings. Three Roses was shown at the Lefevre Gallery, London, in 1937. A reviewer of her exhibition commented upon 'a gentle poetic melancholy' in the paintings, a phrase that applies to the present work.
Three Roses continues a prominent theme in her paintings of the 1930s - still life in a landscape. In fact, some of her most important works of the period like the well-known Wings over Water in the Tate Britain, London, bring together still life objects arranged in front of a backdrop of landscape elements. This allowed her to introduce two of her favourite themes into the one composition and to relate one to the other in novel ways. It also helped to domesticate the landscape that is viewed as if from within a room or from a terrace. She was familiar with this kind of subject matter from French painters she admired like Matisse and Bonnard, among others, and she also knew related works of British contemporaries like Winifred Nicholson and the Bloomsbury painters. She liked to use simple everyday objects in her still life groups, as we see in
Three Roses. In this case these include a tall blue vase, a copper bowl, possibly a jelly mould, and the brass bowl that contains the three roses which give the painting its name. Hodgkins has arranged the objects apparently casually across the foreground and has not composed them to fit inside the picture space, preferring to have some, like the brass bowl, cut off by the picture frame. She has tilted the objects towards the viewer, as often happens in her work, so that we look down at them and can see inside the bowls as happens with the bowl and the roses inside it. These roses are not prize blooms but appear somewhat shapeless and thrown together and not arranged for display. They are drawn freely and contrasted in colour, one being white, another orange/red and a third a salmon pink. Hodgkins used outlining to create an animated effect. and p:aces highlights here and there to enliven the subtle colour scheme based on blues contrasted with warmer tints of pink and the yellow accent of the central flower with its four distinct petals. She has connected the still life directly with the landscape behind by the introduction of leaf forms that appear to hang down from above and link up with the leaves of the roses in their bowl. From simple elements Hodgkins has created a painting that transforms the everyday world into something personal and subjective and in doing so aligns her work with Surrealism, then influential in Britain. It is a work of the highest quality and of the kind that has ensured her high place amongst English artists of the mid-twentieth century. Michael Dunn

Figure Before the Southern Alps (1882), is among the most successful and impressive that Gully completed. After initially settling in New Plymouth, Gully moved to Nelson in 1860 and it was here in 1878 that he would retire in order to devote himself full-time to painting. It was also here that Gully met J.C Richmond who would go on to become a lifelong friend and fellow travelling and painting companion. The two undertook numerous excursions deep into the heart of the South Island and it is likely that one of these trips resulted in the painting of Solitary Figure Before the Southern Alps.
Solitary Figure Before the Southern Alps is a fine example of the Romantic approach to landscape painting, of which, Gully was this country's foremost practitioner. Adhering to the John Ruskin dictate "that a painting must tell a story", the watercolour does much to convey the wonder which would have greeted many an English settler, for whom the grandeur and challenges presented by the New Zealand landscape must have made a stark contrast to the consistency of the English landscape. Gully's emphasis is firmly on atmosphere and light effects. The solitary figure in the foreground serves to heighten the latent drama and adds a lonely beauty to the scene as well as providing the vital narrative element to which Ruskin stipulated. Although at one stage a draftman's apprentice, Gully's late feathery watercolours depart abruptly from the clarity of outlines and conventional approach which was the hallmark of the topographical watercolourists who preceeded him. The watercolour medium is ideally suited to such Sublime displays of man's insignificance in the full glory of nature and Gully grants equal importance to the soft misty clouds and sky of the heavens, as he does to terra firma itself. Gully was, and remains, a somewhat controversial painter. He was a highly prolific artist - painting Mount Cook alone 57 times - and in terms of quality his works can vary. However, his best works, to which Solitary Figure Before the Southern Alps unquestionably belongs, played a key role in facilitating self-belonging for nineteenth century New Zealand settlers and go a long way to capturing the majestic beauty of our land .

103 Louis John Steele Wife of Rauparaha, Waihi oil on board title inscribed and signed; label affixed verso reads:
The painting of the wife of Te Rauparaha by the late L.J. Steele, was painted according to Mr C. F Goldie at the artist's best period. The subject of the picture was one of the Albino type of Maori 285 x 227mm Provenance: Formerly in the collection of Dr Neville Hogg. Sold by Webb 's in August 2003, lot 51.
Wife of Rauparaha, Waihi is an accomplished but unpretentious likeness of a young Maori woman who has chin moko, a greenstone tiki suspended from a necklace, a greenstone ear pendant and huia feathers in her hair; she also wears a fine cloak. All these items suggest a person of high rank and importance and an inscription added to the background of the painting states that she was the wife of Rauparaha, presumably the great warrior chief Te Rauparaha of the Waikato, though this is not certain. Conservation staff have checked the inscription which appears to be genuine and under the layers of varnish. The work is undated
$15,000 - $25,000
but would have probably been executed after 1890; it is signed and shows Steele's ability at working on a small scale with a high degree of detail. Michael Dunn. Excerpt from an essay formerly published in Webb's catalogue, December 2004.

CATALOGUE INFORMATION

A GUIDE FOR BUYERS I, 8idd~9 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 displayed 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 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. J. Absentee Bids
Webb's will endeavour to ensure that your bidding instructions are executed, but accept no responsibility or liability for failure to do so. Lots will be bought as favourably as is allowed by bidding in the sale room and any reserve imposed by the vendor. Please note that Webb's cannot guarantee that another bidder will not be successful at your limit if, in the course of competitive bidding, someone else bids your limit first. Absentee bids are accepted by written instruction which can be sent by fax (e-mailed absentee bids are not accepted) up to I hour before the commencement of the sale. Absentee bids will be executed on the following basis: If your bid limit is equal to or above a reserve , the Auctioneer may open the bidding at reserve on your behalf and will bid thereafter only in response to competition for the lot. If your bid limit is below a reserve, the Auctioneer may open the bidding at your limit and if there are no further bids in the room may sell to you "subject to vendor's consent". In the absence of a reserve the Auctioneer 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.
150
CATALOGUE INFORMATION
Telephone Bids The same conditions as above apply to telephone bidders. Webb's will telephone the number you have given several minutes before the lot you have request comes up for sale. If your phone is engaged or we are unable to make contact the auction will proceed without your bidding. Our staff will ask you to hold when we have made contact. They will then tell you
that your lot is about to come up. The bids will be relayed to you and you can enter the bidding at any time by making your call. Please note that the bidding at many auctions can be fast and furious. The auctioneer will not favour a phone bidder over and above buyers who are attending the auction by giving them more time to bid. You will need to establish your limit and make sure that you bid clearly and promptly. Telephone bids are only accepted for catalogued sales and on items with estimates over $500. Pre-Sale Estimates Estimates printed in the catalogue or given verbally are intended as a guide only and can be subject to revision nearer to the time of a sale. Webb's staff are available during pre-sale viewing times and by appointment to assist prospective bidders with estimates and any aspect of the auction procedure. Condition Reports Webb's staff will provide condition reports for out of Auckland buyers. However, please note that no 6 in the Conditions of Sale for Buyers will still apply despite the obtaining of a condition report.
