New Zealand News — Wellington —

Still looking

Peter McLeavey and the Last Photograph Adam Art Gallery until 20 December 2018 Peter McLeavey, was the charismatic, pioneering Wellington art dealer who from the 1950s shaped—even transformed— New Zealand art through representing artists such as Colin McCahon, Toss Woollaston, Gordon Walters, Michael Illingworth, Laurence Aberhart, Robin White, Jacqueline Fraser, Julian Dashper and Yvonne Todd.

Unbeknownst to many, McLeavey spent almost thirty years collecting photographs, amassing a world-class ensemble of prints by some of the medium’s most significant figures. These include William Henry Fox Talbot, Eugène Atget, Berenice Abbott, Dorothea Lange and Robert Frank.

McLeavey also collected related examples of photo-media, such as photogravures and lithographs by Joseph Beuys, Barbara Kruger and Sherrie Levine. In addition, he acquired numerous examples of New Zealand photographs, from ambrotypes and albumen prints to contemporary art.

Co-curator Deidra Sullivan describes in her Photoforum essay ‘Peter also acquired an extensive collection of nineteenth century New Zealand photography – works by Bragge, the Burton Brothers, Josiah Martin and Elizabeth Pulman, among others. He referred to the New Zealand works as his ‘learning photographs’ – photographs through which he could learn about both the history of New Zealand and the history of photography. He likely began collecting these pieces during the 1970s.’ He advised others to “look hard at these photographs. They are of a country none can return to.

Our beginnings. They are vintage, and rare, and carry with them memories of that time and place.”

McLeavey claimed that ‘collections are essentially maps of the self. A diary of the self. They reflect back the lives of the collectors.’ Still looking takes up this thought, tracing the trajectory of McLeavey’s own collecting and measuring it against his itinerant childhood, his Catholicism, and his various intellectual, emotional and aesthetic interests.

Welcoming the opportunity to pursue art works that he wasn’t selling himself, McLeavey tended to collect particular photographers in depth and after considerable research and

consideration. Most of his photographs were acquired from leading dealers in the United States and are among the finest prints by these artists that were available.

In Luit and Jan Bieringa’s 2009 film The man in the hat Peter said “I think there is one more photograph I have to find. The last photograph. I’m still looking for it. It’s out there somewhere. I’m waiting for it to claim me, the last photograph.

I don’t know what it is, but when I see it, I’ll know it and I’ll buy it, and it will hang with all the others. And maybe then the life, the story, the quest, will be complete.” Combined with his statements about collecting as autobiography, Peter’s reference to ‘the last photograph’ seemed to suggest collecting allowed him to commemorate his personal history, but also provided an on-going opportunity for self-reflection, reconciliation, completion.

Sullivan in her essay also records ‘there is a ‘last photograph’: Yvonne Todd’s portrait of Peter, made in 2014. It is an incredibly poignant, vulnerable and beautiful photograph. Peter is sitting on his bed, upstairs in the home he shared with Hilary. The walls behind him are bare, but for a Christ figure. Peter looks fragile and tired, but his eyes meet the camera steadily and honestly. This is perhaps the ‘last photograph,’ one Peter chose quite deliberately, to acknowledge the certainty of mortality, and the enduring nature of faith.’

The exhibition, curated by Geoffrey Batchen and Deidra Sullivan, features an array of photographic images in a variety of media, along with letters and catalogues related to McLeavey’s purchases, providing a unique opportunity to reflect on the nature of collecting and to invite each visitor to ask what their own ‘last photograph’ might be.

Note: In 2019 Webb’s will be auctioning a large collection of early New Zealand and Pacific photographs, most of which have been sourced internationally.

Yang Yongliang: Artificial Wonderland / New Networks Contemporary Chinese Art

Dunedin Public Art Gallery 8 December 2018 - 26 April 2019

In March 2018, celebrated Shanghai/New York artist Yang Yongliang spent time working in Dunedin as part of the Gallery’s International Visiting Artist programme. Yang has developed an internationally acclaimed contemporary practice that extends across painting, photography, video and installation. Artificial Wonderland includes examples of photography and moving image, including works developed during his time in New Zealand. His newest series of six videos take an historic reference point from works by the Song Dynasty painter Ma Yuan (c1160-1225). In Views of Water (2018) Yang draws together haunting, ethereal images constructed out of footage of the ocean, rivers and lakes filmed during his time in Dunedin and Central Otago/Southern Lakes.

New Networks: Contemporary Chinese Art gives New Zealand audiences a rare view into one of the most dynamic areas of global art. It explores aspects of the contemporary art movement in mainland China, through significant works held in publicly accessible art collections in New Zealand and Australia. Presenting works by sixteen artists the exhibition offers a spectrum of Chinese art produced over the past four decades, from senior figures through to emerging talents. In doing so, New Networks begins to explore how the narrative surrounding contemporary Chinese art is emerging within significant art collections across Australia and New Zealand.

New Networks, presented alongside Artificial Wonderland, offers an expanded context to Yang’s artist project, relating works by a range of artists who are his contemporaries, to his artistic practice - Ai Weiwei, Song Dong, Yin Xiuzhen, Xu Bing and Yang Fudong. The focus on collections in New Zealand and Australia, and on new works developed out of Yang’s Dunedinbased residency, provides two opportunities to consider how this international art movement is reflected in and relates to our immediate artistic environment.

Dane Mitchell: Iris, Iris, Iris Auckland Art Gallery until 24 February 2019

Auckland artist Dane Mitchell is New Zealand’s representative at the next Venice Biennale, opening May 2019. Iris, Iris, Iris is part of his strategy ‘to continue the conversation here about what’s happening in Venice’, so we encourage you to go visit. The Gallery’s Curator, Contemporary Art, Natasha Conland adds: ‘This exhibition is a wonderful example of how Mitchell combines the beautiful and the austere in a laboratory-like environment built to test these non-visual systems.’

Iris, Iris, Iris - co-commissioned by Mori Art Museum, Tokyo and Auckland Art Gallery, considers the entanglement of our senses, specifically sight and smell. The Iris in its multiple forms – as plant, as body part, as technology, as myth – is employed as a poetic device to make connections between two ways we encounter the world: through the eye and through the nose.

from top: Dane Mitchell.

It is the result of Dane’s recent research into scent production, from traditional Japanese incense to the latest fragrance technologies. The multi-part installation explores diverse meanings of the word ‘iris:’ the name of a flower, the coloured part of an eye, the adjustable aperture of a camera and Greek mythology’s rainbow goddess. It features aroma molecule extraction technology, combining the ‘invisible’ materials of incense and perfume with items related to the act of seeing.

POST-HOC, the work for Venice will be an extended project exploring his practice of creating systems of knowledge to understand the world.

Mitchell says Iris, Iris, Iris and POST-HOC, come from the same set of interests and concerns about how we’re influenced by the intangible and how he, as a conceptual artist, can make that tangible.

Tuarau panel comes home

Lot 408 in our Decorative Arts auction is a significant repatriation to Aotearoa.

Héloïse Dazard-Portch, Decorative Arts Department The revival of Māori architectural arts was boosted

by Sir Apirana Ngata who established the Institute of Māori Arts and Crafts in Rotorua in 1927. Ngata believed that it was crucial for such a school to exist as only one carver remained on the East Coast at the time, an area once renowned for its architectural ornamentation. Thanks to his initiative, a renaissance of Māori arts took place.

Iotua Charlie Tuarau was one of those students trained by the remaining expert carvers including Eramiha Kapua. His talent and creativity thrilled those who were fortunate to experience them.

After fighting with the 28th Māori Battalion during the Second World War, he resumed his artist career and was employed as a master carver at Te Papa Tongarewa’s predecessor, the Dominion Museum, remaining in this position for over thirty years. During that period a US Navy serviceman, Warner Hutchinson, while posted in Wellington from 1958 to 1962, met Tuarau.

Enamoured by his art, he commissioned him to make a carving to be mounted above his bed at home. from top: Charles Tuarau with the tekoteko he carved for the meeting house at Waiwhetu, Lower Hutt, Wellington (1959). Image used with permission of the Alexander Turnbull Library, Wellington, New Zealand.

Inspired by the traditional carved panels adorning Māori architecture the Tuarau panel is distinguished by the remarkable wealth of carved decoration depicting mythological and ancestral figures. The central Tiki is delicately framed with an intricate design of rauponga, playing on the volumes and creating a destabilizing effect, enhanced by the shine of the inlaid pāua eyes.

The viewer is absorbed in the convoluted patterns, appreciating the power of the deified ancestors.

Warner Hutchinson passed away in 2016. We are honoured that his family chose to repatriate this impressive piece from Florida to its land of creation, Aotearoa - New Zealand.

Oceania

Musée du quai Branly 12 March - 7 July 2019 Curated by Dr Peter Brunt (VUW) and Prof. Nicholas Thomas, University of Cambridge, with Dr Adrian Locke, RA, Oceania was five years in the making and has opened to critical acclaim at the Royal Academy of Arts, London (until 10 December). Described as an ‘ambitious, astonishing exhibition’ (Telegraph), ‘an extraordinary exhibition of art and culture…items are simply stunning’ (Times) and ‘a haunting exhibition that will transport those visiting …to a world of Pacific gods and powerful ancestors…these objects vital and dramatic, demonstrate their continued relevance rather than consigning them to the dusty annals of history’ (studio international).

Oceania celebrates the art of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia crossing the Pacific from New Guinea to Easter Island, Hawaii to Aotearoa.

On view are around 200 incredible works from British, European and New Zealand collections, that span 500 years of art - some unseen for more than a century. The RA decided not to include works that were acquired ‘illegitimately’ and requested art works, that had been given, bartered, or sold with one exception - a 7-metre long, carved Solomon Island feast trough, confiscated after a punitive raid in 1891, later acquired by the British Museum and exhibited for the first time in Oceania. Contemporary art works describe the importance of the past as well as present issues of history, identity and climate change.

Oceania is curated as an art exhibition focused on the overriding themes of voyaging, place-making and encounter. Mata Aho Collective’s Kiko Moana, an 11-metre woven blue drop falling like a wave at the entrance draws visitors into the first gallery, shared with a video of Marshall Island poet Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner describing W EBB’S

the threat of rising seas on her atoll homeland: ‘tell them what its like to see the entire ocean level with the land.’

On display in a gallery titled ‘Voyaging and Navigation’ are exquisitely carved canoes, prows, sternposts and paddles, fragile navigational matrixes of wood and shells illustrating maritime knowledge and connections across vast distances, and the drawings of Tuai (in 1818 he drew his brother’s ta moko for an English school teacher while in Britain). Michael Parekowhai’s grand piano, ornately carved with Maori motifs, features in the next gallery entitled ‘Expanding Horizons’ about objects as travelers.

The next set of galleries focuses on the themes of ‘Settlement and Community’, ‘Gods and Ancestors’, ‘The Spirit of the Gift’ and ‘Performance and Ceremony’ and include some of the great masterpieces of Oceanic art – deity figures like Ku and A’a, carved ceremonial house posts, a spectacular turtle shell mask, precious necklaces, a magnificent feather cloak, and a rare Tahitian chief mourner’s costume.

The theme of ‘Encounter’ is explored in a room on colonial encounters and the impact of Christianity and another room featuring Lisa Reihana’s In Pursuit of Venus (Infected), a panoramic video about Cook’s encounters with the Pacific that reanimates scenes depicted on early 19th Century French

wallpaper but presenting an indigenous perspective, which complicates the narrative.

John Pule’s 5-panel painting, Kehe tau Hauaga Foou - To all new arrivals, combines contemporary and historical scenes of conflict and confusion with many images of people carrying cultural treasures and deities from one place to another.

Fiona Pardington’s emotionally charged photos of life casts made on d’Urvilles voyages, now in a Paris museum collection, represent a different homecoming - ‘returning’ to whanau in this hemisphere as largerthan-life photographic portraits.

This series is juxtaposed with a carved tusked fish from New Ireland, PNG, made for the deceased and alluding to aspects of kinship, belonging and release to the spirit world.

After its showing at the Royal Academy, Oceania will travel in the Musée du quai Branly in Paris. If you can’t travel to see this acclaimed exhibition then consider the Oceania catalogue (328 pages), lavishly and comprehensively illustrated; essays by the curators, Anne Salmond, Emmanuel Kasarhérou and Sean Mallon amongst others.

Vasarely The Sharing of Forms

Centre Pompidou 6 February – 6 May 2019 Geometric forms, jazzy colours, flickering patterns… in the Swinging 60s and 70s Victor Vasarely’s Op art was seen everywhere! He is the brilliant exponent of European Op art and a key figure of French post-war art.

His work is rooted in the 1920s Bauhaus teachings - that the arts, crafts and architecture should achieve a unity of purpose based on the cube, the rectangle and the circle.

The Pompidou’s comprehensive retrospective of over 100 works, presents six decades of Vasarely’s work, epitomising a complex, labyrinthine

The Nabis Decorations 1890-1900: A New Thrill

Musée du Luxembourg 13 March - 30 June 2019 In the 1890s, a group of young painters were radicalised by Gauguin’s Symbolist teachings: they were the Nabis (Hebrew for ‘prophets’). This exhibition presents painting by these artists, as well as tapestries, ceramics, screens, stained glass and prints and will immerse visitors in the primary themes of Nabis painting: gardens, women, art nouveau and sacred rites.

True pioneers Bonnard, Vuillard, Maurice Denis, Sérusier, Ranson and Vallotton stood for an art form that was linked directly to life. They created original, joyous, rhythmic works intended to brighten up contemporary interiors, a reaction against the pastiche ‘Victorian’ aesthetic that was in fashion.

modernism between avant-garde and pop culture.

Born in Hungary, Vasarely (19061997) was drawn initially to the sciences and study of medicine but in 1929 moved to the study of art based on Bauhaus principles. After moving to Paris in 1930 he was employed in advertising as a graphic designer, making art at night. A break through exhibition in 1944 encouraged him to make art full time.

artist through paintings, multiples, commercials, architectural projects - fully demonstrating his approach associating rationality and creation, dazzlingly exploring both depth and movement in the fourth dimension.

The Sharing of Forms looks back at Vasarely’s beginnings as an artist with such works as Homage to the square (1929) or figurative paintings like Self portrait (1944), works exploring pattern such as Zebras (1937) and his Black and White period of the 1950s to the main works of op art such as the Vega series of the 1970s.

The wide-ranging retrospective provides an amazing opportunity to rediscover a crucial twentieth-century

Alom (Rêve) 1966 Gift of the artist 1977 Centre Pompidou, Paris

The art of the Nabis was not a response to any pre-existing aesthetic doctrine, but expressed the imaginative fantasy of the artists and the boldness of their research into form and materials - a brotherhood searching for beauty through the pure and spiritual sources of art.

Pierre Bonnard Women in the garden: woman with white polka dot dress 1890-1891 Musée d’Orsay Paris

This total art experience was based on the influence of Japan and a desire to break down the barriers between fine and applied arts, stressing the connections between art and design.

Captivated by the Japanese ukiyo-e prints discovered at an exhibition at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1890, the Nabis took inspiration from these flat images to interpret reality.

They developed an ornamental art with simplified forms, supple lines, and motifs without modelling, saturating the space. Their compositions are characterised by the use of bright colours, undulating lines, flat perspective and shapes with thick outlines to make them stand out better from the background.

Their explorations paralleled Art Nouveau and were precursors to an important strain of 20th Century art - for instance Monet’s immersive Giverny paintings and Matisse’s joyous colourist abstractions.

Masters of modern art from the Hermitage

Heaven and Earth in Chinese Art

2 February - 5 May 2019

Art Gallery of New South Wales - until 3 March 2019 Director Michael Brand said “In an often divided and intolerant world, the art museum must be a place of dialogue, nuance, complexity, ambiguity, discovery, surprise, curiosity and wonder. It must also be a place of open debate, impassioned opinion, and thoughtful reflection. Here, you can experience how people were, and believed, in other times and places. You can also discover, through today’s art, the differences and commonalities that define us now. At the Gallery, audiences can see pioneering works such as Kazimir Malevich’s ground-breaking modernist painting the Black Square c.1930 on loan from the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg; they can see treasures from one of the finest collections of Chinese art in the world, the National Palace Museum in Taipei.”

Masters of modern art presents a magnificent selection of works from the towering figures of modern art.

The exhibition captures the ebullience, idealism and confidence of artists as they freed themselves from tradition.

Exploring the origins of modern art, from the bold experiments of Cézanne, to the radical innovation of artists like Matisse and Picasso, this exhibition documents the seismic shifts that took place in European painting in the years after 1900, moving from realistic art looking at the external world, to a more subjective abstraction concerned with inner worlds - encapsulating a defining moment in art history.

This is a rare opportunity to see works from the modern masters – a journey of startling colour and form, groundbreaking endeavour, and bold leaps of the imagination. AGNSW are also presenting a ‘visionary’ Russian cinema series alongside the exhibition - of Soviet slapstick, Moscow high melodrama and sci-fi masterpieces.

Heaven and earth is the first exhibition in Australasia from the Taipei Museum which houses the world’s most priceless collection of Chinese art, sourced from the Imperial collections of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Celebrating the rich heritage of Chinese culture through the fundamental philosophical concept tian ren he yi or ‘harmony between heaven, nature and humans’, the exhibition presents over 150 artworks, including paintings, calligraphy, illustrated books, bronzes, jade and wood carvings, and ceramics. The Museum has the world’s largest collection of rare Chinese ceramics, some made exclusively for the court and one of the Five Great Kilns of the Song Dynasty (960–1279), along with major collections of Jun ware.

To see examples of early Jun, Song and Qing ceramics is well worth a visit to Sydney. Also on display is a masterpiece of banded jasper stone carved into a mouth-watering piece of stewed pork belly resting on a gilt metal stand from the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) and rarely offered on loan as it’s regarded as one of the museum’s top three treasures.

The ArtScience Museum and NGS have collaborated on this major exhibition across two venues exploring the history and legacy of this radical movement with more than 130 works.

Minimalism was a turning point in the history of art. Through the use of simple, geometric forms and non-traditional materials, Minimalism shifted the way that we experience art: it made the physical encounter with the art work, and the space it occupies, increasingly important. This movement has had a profound influence not only on the visual arts, but also on music, performance, fashion, architecture and design.

ArtScience Museum traces the roots of Minimalism back to the 2,000 year old texts that formed the basis W EBB’S

for Hinduism and Buddhism, and the Zen Buddhist practices of a Japanese scholar who taught many of those now associated with Minimalism. Alongside the work of influential artists such as Mona Hatoum, Carmen Herrera and Richard Long, it references Minimalism as seen in Chinese Maximalism, contemporary abstraction and conceptualism through the work of Asian artists such as Song Dong, Team Lab and Charwai Tsai amongst others.

Many works meditate on notions of the void and ‘nothingness’ – principles that resonate with both Minimalism and science as seen in the work of art-scientist Frederik De Wilde.

The exhibition also explores the impact and legacies of minimalist sound and experimental composition within a dedicated Sound Room.

National Gallery Singapore’s exhibition explores the development of Minimal art and ideas from the 1950s to the present day, tracing its shift from painting to sculpture and then to spatial installations and immersive environments. It will feature works by some of the most significant artists of the past 70 years, including Rothko, Judd, Yayoi Kusama, Olafur Eliasson, Anish Kapoor and Ai Weiwei.

Throughout the duration of the exhibition both venues will host music, film and dance events showcasing the impact Minimalism has had on many other art forms.

It promises to be an exhibition that will thrill and amaze the senses.

Gauguin: A Spiritual Journey

de Young Museum 17 November 2018 7 April 2019

A revolutionary artist Paul Gauguin (1848 - 1903) began his career mentored by Impressionists Pisarro, Degas and Cézanne, then collaborated with Van Gogh experimenting with Symbolism. Later, his own distinctive style of painting evolved using fields of flat, bold colours and dark outlines which influenced early 20C artists such as Picasso and Matisse.

Although Gauguin is best known as a painter and printmaker the exhibition includes ceramics and wood carving revealing his creative interest in decorative arts. In addition items from Gaugin’s own collection of Impressionist art are featured.

More than sixty Gauguin paintings, wood carvings, and ceramics will be

32

on view alongside Oceanic art and Gauguin works on paper from the Museums’ permanent collections.

The exhibition explores two themes central to his career: the relationships that shaped his life and work, and his quest to understand spirituality, both his own and that of other cultures he encountered in New Zealand, the Marquesas Islands and Tahiti. Period photography and excerpts from his letters and writings will highlight key periods of his travel, relationships and creativity.

In Europe and abroad Gauguin continually worked to explore new ideas and push boundaries of technique and style in pursuit of critical recognition and commercial success. This is revealed through a range of works such

as an early drawing of his wife, Mette Gad c1873, Woman sewing, his first nude exhibited in 1881, to late and well known works painted in Tahiti with one of his most famous portraits Tahitian Woman with a Flower from 1891 - and inspired by his time in the Pacific.

Included in the exhibition is a commissioned video work, First Impressions: Paul Gauguin by interdisciplinary artist Yuki Kihara (Samoa/NZ) that addresses the colonial gaze. bottom left: Reclining Tahitian Women (Tahitian: Arearea no varus Ino / “The Amusement of the Evil Spirit”) Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen

Jewellery: The Body Transformed Metropolitan Museum of Art 12 November 2018 24 September 2019

What is jewellery? Why do we wear it? What meanings does it carry?

Traversing time and space, this exhibition explores how jewellery acts upon and activates the body it adorns. This global conversation about one of the most personal and universal of art forms brings together some 230 objects drawn almost exclusively from The Met collection. A dazzling array of headdresses and ear ornaments, brooches and belts, necklaces and rings will be shown along with sculptures, paintings, prints, and photographs that will enrich and amplify the many stories of transformation that jewellery tells.

A Victorian seed pearl bangle hammering down at $1,527.50 far exceeding its high estimate of $600 in our last Fine Jewels, Watches and Luxury Accessories auction reinforces this growing trend and shows the market is strong for high quality pieces in good and original condition.

There are several factors behind this increase in desirability.

converted into more fashionable jewellery styles such as pendants or rings, or large, old-cut diamonds to be removed from settings and re-cut into a more desirable, although slightly smaller; modern round brilliant cut.

Trends within the fashion industry are cyclic, the same is true for jewellery. Two emerging trends, that I believe will be in full swing in the coming years, are the desire for large, old ‘mine’ and early European cut diamonds for engagement rings; and a resurgence in the popularity of brooches.

Estimate: $450 - $600 (September, 2018)

20ct Edwardian Amethyst Brooch and Earrings Price Realized incl. BP:$587.50

There is a finite number of pieces made during these eras and every year more pieces are lost, dismantled or re-designed into jewellery styles that reflect contemporary tastes. The sentiment that is so commonly associated with jewellery is often the driving force behind the re-design.

I have friends who have been lucky enough to use diamonds from their Grandmother’s rings and combine them with diamonds from their future mother-in-law when creating their own engagement ring. Also, it’s been common for many excellent brooches from these periods to be

Already diamond prices for old cut diamonds of good colour and clarity match that of modern round brilliant cut diamonds of equal quality (unheard of even 5 years ago). As for brooches, the versatility of the piece – able to be worn on the lapel, in the hair, or to secure a neck ribbon or scarf, will prove popular with Millennials who appreciate the multi-purpose functions and sustainability that brooches offer.

After all, a necklace can only be worn on the neck and earrings on the ear.

The Seddon Star This stunning Victorian diamond brooch was worn as part of a tiara by Louisa Jane Seddon, wife of Prime Minister Richard Seddon to the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902.

Richard John Seddon, also known as King Dick was the Premier of New Zealand between 1893 to 1906, making him the longest serving Prime Minister of the country. Seddon was a boisterous imperialist and a colourful and dynamic leader of the nation. He held the title until his sudden death on board the vessel Oswestry Grange returning to New Zealand in 1906.

As a great supporter of the British Royals, Seddon and his wife, Louisa Seddon, were among those to attend the elaborate coronation of King Edward VII at Westminster Abbey in 1902. Louisa Seddon was presented with a diamond tiara, comprising of three central diamond stars, by the woman of New Zealand and the Anglo New Zealand Association.

The tiara was later dismantled into three smaller pieces, at which point, this piece was designed to be worn as a brooch or on a hair pin.

Lot 57 was directly passed down to a grandchild of Louisa Seddon, who has passed it on by direct descent to the vendor.

Binney’s commitment to ornithology, environmental issues and the development of a spiritual connection with the land, were consistent, driving factors in his artistic practice.

Manunui, Queen Charlotte embodies the culmination of Binney’s time in the Marlborough Sounds and represents a breaking of new ground for the artist in this region.

Binney’s immediately recognisable style, his unique perspective of landforms and distinctive symbolism of his stylised birds is refreshed in Manunui, Queen Charlotte, which simultaneously contrasts and echoes his original bird forms from his 1960s – 80s practice.

After becoming known for capturing the essence of endemic and some introduced birds in his art, Binney set them aside for many years as he investigated diverse subjects and other media including photography and collage. In his return to this subject matter during the turn of the millennium, Binney discovered there were still concepts to explore through the combination of his deep knowledge of ornithology and art.

This painting is the largest of 16 works created for the exhibition Deep Sounds which illustrate Binney’s discovery of the Marlborough Sounds and demonstrates a very real connection with the spirit of the region. Of the 16 works he created, only three were executed in oil on canvas.

oil on canvas signed Don Binney and dated MMV in brushpoint lower right 550mm x 1100mm $160,000 – $190,000 PROVENANCE Purchased from the Diversion Gallery, Picton, 2005 EXHIBITED The Diversion Gallery, Deep Sounds, 30 August - 24 October 2005

The remaining works were finely crafted pencil drawings which Binney favoured for their portability and the potential to work directly in the landscape.

Binney’s loyalty to places which touch his life deeply is clearly expressed in this work. Consider the treatment of the land, the crouching islands, the feel of the changing moods of the Marlborough Sounds, the birdlife in bush and water and the soft southern light; clear light and sharp definition create linear patterns which structure his compositions.

Through Manunui, Queen Charlotte, Binney presents the viewer with the northern entrance to Queen Charlotte Sound (Totaranui) as the backdrop to the elegantly painted gannet which glides into the centre of the image from the right. Manunui, Queen Charlotte was one of only very few works from this series completed of the Sounds which features one of Binney’s iconic birds.

While observing the landscape and devising his composition for a work, if a bird presented themselves to Binney, he would include them; otherwise his focus remained on the land and coastal forms.

The lines of the Manunui (literally, big bird) echo the landform of its Sounds habitat in typical Binney style.

Binney has lovingly and intimately captured the essence of the Sounds in this work and demonstrates a real connection to the hills, the light, the waterways and the wildlife of Marlborough.

Billy Apple’s Basic Needs takes its conceptual origin from the United Nations list of basic human necessities. This work was originally created for contemporary online art journal e-flux’s global benefit art auction in aid of displaced Kobanê refugees.

The UV impregnated ink on canvas work succinctly captures the universality of human needs in a manner that is distinctively ‘Billy’.

267 Hamish Kilgour The Kings of the Glass Towers

Created by the lead singer of Dunedin indie-rock band The Clean (represented by the now iconic Flying Nun Records), Hamish Kilgour is often described as one of the creators of the ‘Dunedin sound’. Kilgour reveals an air of nonconformity in this work as it depicts the Auckland Forsyth Barr building and several of its inhabitants aptly crowned ‘the Kings of the glass towers’.

The Clean’s single Tally-Ho! featured in the 1999 film Scarfies solidifying thier influence in the Dunedin student scene and seeing them become a key talent in New Zealand music. Crafted with an attitude befitting both The Clean and Kilgour himself, this is a strikingly unique piece of New Zealand music history.

375 An Unpublished Poem

by James K. Baxter Coffee Bar Ballade Typed and hand signed on paper, Late-1960s/Early-1970s Complete with letter of provenance from vendor.

214 x 140mm $1,500 – $3,000

James K. Baxter (1926-1972) is arguably New Zealand’s greatest poet. He is certainly the most widely known and best-loved. By the time of his death in 1972 he was a household name, a fame that rested not just on his writing but on his political activism, particularly his bicultural commune at Jerusalem on the Whanganui River. His many books of poetry include his spectacular teenage debut, Beyond the Palisade (1944), the trenchant social critique of Pig Island Letters (1966), and the volumes of the Jerusalem era, Jerusalem Sonnets (1970) and Autumn Testament (1972). He was also an accomplished writer of light and occasional verse, of which ‘Coffee Bar Ballade’ is an intriguing example.

Coffee shops played a vital role in the rise of a more sophisticated urban culture in the decades after World War II. Nowhere was this more apparent than in Wellington.

Establishments such the Monde Marie, the French Maid, Suzy’s and the Chez Paree reflected the influence of European refugee culture, as well as the aspirations of young local artists and bohemians. The Rendezvous, run by Ray and Jean Harland at the bottom of Cable Car Lane, was among these iconic meeting places. For Baxter, café culture had a particular

W EBB’S

D E CE M B E R 2 01 8

significance. Baxter was a brilliant, compulsive talker. In his drinking days, the ideal place to find an audience was in pubs.

But after he joined Alcoholics Anonymous in 1954, he turned instead to the cafés.

According to Denise Harland, ‘Coffee Bar Ballade’ was typed up on the premises and presented to Ray and Jean as a gift.

The poem marks a crossing point where Baxter’s sobriety and incipient sense of social mission meets the proto-bohemian culture of post-War Wellington. Poetry for Baxter was a sociable thing; to write a poem as a personal gift made creative sense. And in a light-hearted way this celebration of café life also affirms his political vision: his wish for a kinder, more inclusive New Zealand ‘where types and tribes are manifold.’

John Newton is a poet and cultural historian. His books include The Double Rainbow: James K. Baxter, Ngāti Hau and the Jerusalem Commune (VUP 2009), and Hard Frost: Structures of Feeling in New Zealand Literature 1908-1945 (VUP 2017).

408 IOTUA CHARLIE TUARAU Māori Carved Wooden Panel Signed, dated and inscribed “I. C. Tuarau, Maori Carver, Dominion Museum, Wellington, NZ, 1963” verso. National registration number Y18448.

Rectangular carving with rounded edges, painted red. From proper left to proper right: two manaia figures, central Tiki head with crosses on cheeks, flared nostrils and heart-shaped mouth, two mirroring manaia figures. All five figures have pāua inlaid eyes.

L2170 H300 D45mm $7,000 – $10,000

The revival of Māori architectural arts was boosted by Sir Apirana Ngata, who established the Institute of Māori Arts and Crafts in Rotorua in 1927. Ngata believed that it was crucial for such a school to exist as only one carver remained on the East Coast at the time, an area once renowned for its architectural ornamentation. Thanks to his initiative, a renaissance of Māori arts took place. Iotua Charlie Tuarau was one of those students trained by the remaining expert carvers including Eramiha Kapua. His talent and creativity thrilled those who were fortunate to experience them.

After fighting with the 28th Māori Battalion during the Second World War, he resumed his artist career and was employed as a master carver at Te Papa Tongarewa’s predecessor, the Dominion Museum, remaining in this position for over thirty years. During that period a US Navy serviceman, Warner Hutchinson, while posted

W EBB’S

D E CE M B E R 2 01 8

in Wellington from 1958 to 1962, met Tuarau.

Enamoured by his art, he commissioned him to make a carving to be mounted above his bed at home.

Inspired by the traditional carved panels adorning Māori architecture the Tuarau panel is distinguished by the remarkable wealth of carved decoration depicting mythological and ancestral figures. The central Tiki is delicately framed with an intricate design of rauponga, playing on the volumes and creating a destabilizing effect, enhanced by the shine of the inlaid pāua eyes.

The viewer is absorbed in the convoluted patterns, appreciating the power of the deified ancestors.

Warner Hutchinson passed away in 2016. We are honoured that his family chose to repatriate this impressive piece from Florida to its land of creation, Aotearoa - New Zealand.

Ermanno Nason (1928-2013), was born on the island of Murano into a family of famous glass-makers, he started work in the glass furnace when he was 9 and passed his exam as maestro when he was just 18. His talent was clear from the very beginning, in particular in his creations of the human figure and animals. Nason worked for several glassworks including at I.V.R. Mazzega, where he was a master glassblower from 1953 to 1959. Mazzega was one of the glassworks that produced the artistic designs of the Centro Studio Pittori nell Arte del Vetro, founded by Egidio Costantini (Italian, 1912-2007). This studio was christened the Fucina degli Angeli (Forge of the angels) by the French painter Jean Cocteau (1889-1963). Nason produced many of Costantinis' collaborations with acclaimed artists, such as Pablo Picasso, Cocteau, Marc Chagall, Max Ernst, and others. Later in his career, Nason made sculptures and vessels based on his work for these well-known artists.

Known as the largest in the world, the Lodoicea, sea coconut or ‘coco de mer’ is endemic to the Seychelles islands of Praslin and Curieuse. Its suggestive shape resembling a female buttock, together with its smooth surface and dark chocolate hue, have made the coco de mer an object of fascination, especially among 16th-century European aristocrats who would collect them and decorate them with precious jewels.

Prior to the discovery of their true origin, it was believed that coco de mer grew on a mysterious tree at the bottom of the ocean as they would first sink due to their density but then rise up to the surface once they have decayed internally.

Carried by the currents, they were found on distant shores where these trees do not grow and would nourish collectors’ fantasies.

Provenance: Believed to have been part of the Manawatu Museum collection, which closed in 1936 after a cyclone flooded the museum.

The seed was later found in a ceiling cavity of the Palmerston North Normal Intermediate School C. 1963 and gifted to the current owner.

The Dr. Francis de Hamel Collection

Francis de Hamel was born in 1923 into a family of industrials in the Midlands, UK and had initially wanted to train as a vet. However, as the Second World War developed the imminent need for doctors increased and instead Francis studied medicine at Oxford University, where he also rowed for two successful years in the annual boat race against Cambridge.

At Oxford he met and later married Joan Pollock (de Hamel), celebrated children’s writer and author of ‘Take the Long Path’ and ‘Hemi’s Pet’.

After the war seeking new opportunities, Francis looked to New Zealand and took up a contract with the New Zealand Department of Health. In medicine his interest was chest diseases, it was this that brought him to Christchurch and the Health Department’s Mass X-Ray unit. He was a keen ornithologist and was selected as the Scott Base doctor and ornithologist for the 1957-58 summer season, going south on the ‘little wooden warship’ Endeavour. Later Francis became an Associate Professor in the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, Otago.

Upon retirement in 1988 he put his physical energy into an extensive garden and a farmlet he had bought with his wife Joan, developing an angora goat stud.

Inspired by his mother who had been a collector of ceramics and silver, Francis spent the rest of his time building a collection of Chinese ceramics with a focus on the Song Dynasty era. Starting by subscribing to Sotheby’s and Christies auction catalogues, buying reference books and reading,

Francis would meticulously research before placing postal, phone and fax bids at international auction houses.

By the mid-1990’s he had amassed a collection of around 100 items, which he displayed in a glassfronted cabinet in his lounge at his Macandrew Bay home. He loved the forms, the colour, and the technical skill of producing such delicatelyformed pieces. On frequent trips to China, Hong Kong and England he visited dealers and galleries, buying and further building his knowledge and experience. Diligently cataloguing every piece with precise detail, noting comparisons to similar pieces in publications in his library (also offered in this collection). All of Dr de Hamels notes are available on the online catalogue on our website.

Terms & Conditions The terms and conditions of sale listed here contain the policies of Webb’s. They are the terms on which Webb’s and the Seller contract with the Buyer. They may be amended by printed Saleroom Notices or oral announcements made before and during the sale.

By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these terms.

1. Background to the Terms used in these Conditions The conditions that are listed below contain terms that are used regularly and may need explanation.

They are as follows: “the Buyer” means the person with the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer. “the Lot” means any item depicted within the sale for auction and in particular the item or items described against any lot number in the catalogue. “the Hammer price” means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a lot. “the Buyer’s Premium” means the charge payable by the Buyer to the auction house as a percentage of the hammer price. “the Reserve” means the lowest amount at which Webb’s has agreed with the Seller that the lot can be sold.

“Forgery” means an item constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole, with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue. Accordingly no lot shall be capable of being a forgery by reason of any damage or restoration work of any kind (Including re-painting). “the insured value” means the amount that Webb’s in its absolute discretion from time to time shall consider the value for which a lot should be covered for insurance (whether or not insurance is arranged by Webb’s). All values expressed in Webb’s Ltd catalogues (in any format) are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD$). All bids, “hammer price”, “reserves”, “Buyers Premium” and other expressions of value are understood by all parties to be in New Zealand Dollars (NZD$) unless otherwise specified.

2. Webb’s Auctions as Agent Except as otherwise stated Webb’s Ltd acts as agent for the Seller. The contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.

3. Before the Sale Examination of Property Prospective Buyers are strongly advised to examine in person any property in which they are interested before the Auction takes place. Neither Webb’s nor the Seller provides any guarantee in relation to the nature of the property apart from the Limited warranty in the paragraph below. The property is otherwise sold “AS IS” Catalogue and Other Descriptions All statements by Webb’s in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by Webb’s of any kind. References in the catalogue entry to the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or it’s value for any other purpose. Neither Webb’s nor The Seller is responsible for any errors or omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material. Images are measured height by width (sight size). Illustrations are provided only as a guide and should not be relied upon as a true representation of colour or condition. Images are not shown at a standard scale. Mention is rarely made of frames (which may be provided as supplementary images on the website) which do not form part of the lot as described in the printed catalogue.

An item bought “on Extension” must be paid for in full before it will be released to the purchaser or his/her agreed expertising committee or specialist. Payments received for such items will be held “in trust” for up to 90 days or earlier, if the issue of authenticity has been resolved more quickly. Extensions must be requested before the auction.

Foreign buyers should note that all transactions are in New Zealand dollars so there may be a small exchange rate risk. The costs associated with acquiring a good opinion or certificate will be carried by the purchaser. If the item turns out to be forged or otherwise incorrectly

W EBB’S

described, all reasonable costs will be borne by the vendor.

Buyers Responsibility All property is sold “as is” without representation or warranty of any kind by Webb’s or the Seller. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue by requesting a condition report.

No lot to be rejected if, subsequent to the sale, it has been immersed in liquid or treated by any other process unless the Auctioneer’s permission to subject the lot to such immersion or treatment has first been obtained in writing.

4. At the Sale Refusal of Admission Webb’s reserves the right at our complete discretion to refuse admission to the auction premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid.

Registration Before Bidding Any prospective new buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide photo identification before bidding. Webb’s may request bank, trade or other financial references to substantiate this registration.

Bidding as a Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price including the buyer’s premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Webb’s before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Webb’s and that Webb’s will only look to the principal for payment.

International Registrations All International clients not known to Webb’s will be required to scan through an accredited form of photo identification and pay a deposit at our discretion in cleared funds into Webb’s account at least 24 hours before the commencement of the auction. Bids will not be accepted without this deposit. Webb’s also reserves the right to request any additional forms of identification prior to registering an overseas bid. This deposit can be made using a credit card, however the balance of any purchase price in excess of $5,000 cannot be charged to this card without prior arrangement. This deposit is redeemable against any auction purchase and will be refunded in full if no purchases are made.

Absentee Bids Webb’s will use reasonable efforts to execute written bids delivered to us AT LEAST 24 Hours before the sale for the convenience of those clients who are unable to attend the auction in person. If we receive identical written bids on a particular lot, and at the auction these are the highest bids on that lot, then the lot will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors or omissions which may arise. It is the bidder’s responsibility to check with Webb’s after the auction if they were successful.

Unlimited or “Buy” bids will not be accepted.

Telephone Bids Priority will be given to overseas and bidders from other regions. Arrangements for this service must be confirmed AT LEAST 24 HOURS PRIOR to the auction commencing. Webb’s accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any errors or failure to execute bids.

In telephone bidding the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here and accepts that Webb’s cannot be held responsible for any miscommunications in the process. The success of telephone bidding cannot be guaranteed due to circumstances that are unforeseen. Buyers should be aware of the risk and accept the consequences should contact be unsuccessful at the time of Auction. Webb’s will advise Telephone Bidders who have registered at least 24 hours before the auction of any relevant changes to descriptions, withdrawals or any other sale room notices.

Online Bidding Webb’s offers an online bidding service. When bidding online the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here by Webb’s. Webb’s accepts no responsibility for any errors, failure to execute bids or any other miscommunications regarding this process.

below which the Lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue.

The auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders.

Minimum Price Guarantee The seller of lots designated with the symbol * has been guaranteed a minimum price financed solely by Webb’s. Where the guarantee is provided by a third party or jointly by Webb’s and a third party, the Lot will be denoted with the symbols **. When Webb’s has solely guaranteed the minimum price, Webb’s will bear the risk that the lot will not be sold or will sell below the guaranteed minimum price in which case Webb’s will bear a financial loss. Webb’s may bid at the auction, and this will be disclosed, but only until the guaranteed minimum price. When a third party has financed all or part of our financial interest in a lot, it assumes all or part of the risk that the lot will not be sold and will be remunerated accordingly. The compensation will be a fixed fee, a percentage of the hammer price or the buyer’s premium or some combination of the foregoing.

The third party may bid on the guaranteed lot during the auction, and this will be disclosed in a saleroom announcement. If the third party is the successful bidder, the remuneration may be netted against the hammer price. If the lot is not sold, the third party may incur a loss. The Minimum Price Guarantee amount will not be disclosed to the public. Where Webb’s has guaranteed a minimum price on every lot in the catalogue, Webb’s will not designate each lot with the symbol(s) for the guaranteed lots but will state our financial interest at the front of the catalogue.

Auctioneers Discretion The Auctioneer has the right at his/her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he/she may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and, in the case or error or dispute and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, then Webb’s sale record is conclusive.

Successful Bid and Passing of Risk Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes immediately to the Buyer.

5. After the Sale Buyers Premium In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay to Webb’s the buyer’s premium. The buyer’s premium is 17.5% of the hammer price plus GST. (Goods and Services Tax) where applicable.

Payment and Passing of Title The buyer must pay the full amount due (comprising the hammer price, buyer’s premium and any applicable taxes and GST) not later than 5 days after the auction date. The buyer will not acquire title to the lot until Webb’s receives full payment in cleared funds, and no goods under any circumstances will be released without confirmation of cleared funds received. This applies even if the buyer wishes to send items overseas. Payment can be made by direct transfer, cash (not exceeding NZD$10,000, if wishing to pay more than NZD$10,000 then this must be deposited directly into a Bank of New Zealand branch and bank receipt supplied) and EFTPOS (please check the daily limit). Payments can also be made by credit card in person with a 2.2% merchant fee for Visa and Mastercard and 3.3% for American Express. Invoices that are in excess of $5,000 and where the card holder is not present, cannot be charged to a credit card without prior arrangement. Personal cheques are accepted, but funds must be cleared before goods will be released. Bank cheques are subject to five days clearance. The buyer is responsible for any bank fees and charges applicable for the transfer of funds into Webb’s account.

Collection of Purchases & Insurance Webb’s is entitled to retain items sold until all amounts due to us have been received in full in good cleared funds.

Subject to this, the Buyer shall collect purchased lots within 5 days from the date of the sale unless otherwise agreed in writing between Webb’s and the Buyer. At the fall of the hammer, insurance is the responsibility of the purchaser.

Packing, Handling and Shipping Webb’s will be able to suggest removals companies that the buyer can use but takes no responsibility whatsoever for the actions of any recommended third party. Webb’s can pack and handle goods purchased at the auction by agreement and a charge will be made for this service.

All packing, shipping, insurance, postage & associated charges will be borne by the purchaser.

Permits, Licences and Certificates Under The Protected Objects Act 1975, buyers may be required to obtain a licence for certain categories of items in a sale from the Ministry of Culture & Heritage, PO Box 5364, Wellington.

Remedies for Non-Payment If the Buyer fails to make full payment immediately, Webb’s is entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies (in addition to asserting any other rights or remedies available under the law).

• to charge interest at such a rate as we shall reasonably decide.

• to hold the defaulting Buyer liable for the total amount due and to commence legal proceedings for its recovery along with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.

• to cancel the sale.

• to resell the property publicly or privately on such terms as we see fit.

• to pay the Seller an amount up to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the defaulting Buyer. In these circumstances the defaulting Buyer can have no claim upon Webb’s in the event that the item(s) are sold for an amount greater than the original invoiced amount.

• to set off against any amounts which Webb’s may owe the Buyer in any other transactions, the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the Buyer.

• where several amounts are owed by the Buyer to us, in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not the Buyer so directs.

• to reject at any future auction any bids made by or on behalf of the Buyer or to obtain a deposit from the Buyer prior to accepting any bids.

• to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by the Buyer whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way, to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the place where such property is located.

The Buyer will be deemed to have been granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for said Buyer’s obligations to us.

• to take such other action as Webb’s deem necessary

219

or appropriate.

If we do sell the property under paragraph (4), then the defaulting Buyer shall be liable for payment of any deficiency between the total amount originally due to us and the price obtained upon reselling as well as for all costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and commissions and premiums of whatever kinds associated with both sales or otherwise arising from the default.

If we pay any amount to the Seller under paragraph (5) the Buyer acknowledges that Webb’s shall have all of the rights of the Seller, however arising, to pursue the Buyer for such amount.

Failure to Collect Purchases Where purchases are not collected within 5 days from the sale date, whether or not payment has been made, we shall be permitted to remove the property to a warehouse at the buyer’s expense, and only release the items after payment in full has been made of removal, storage handling, insurance and any other costs incurred, together with payment of all other amounts due to us.

6. Extent of Webb’s Liability Webb’s agrees to refund the purchase price in the circumstances of the Limited Warranty set out in paragraph 7 below. Apart from that, neither the Seller nor we, nor any of our employees or agents are responsible for the correctness of any statement of whatever kind concerning any lot, whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any lots. Except as stated in paragraph 7 below, neither the Seller, ourselves, our officers, agents or employees give any representation warranty or guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in respect of any lot with regard to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, description, size, quality, condition, attribution, authenticity, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibition history, literature or historical relevance.

Except as required by local law any warranty of any kind is excluded by this paragraph.

7. Limited Warranty Subject to the terms and conditions of this paragraph, the Seller warrants for the period of thirty days from the date of the sale that any property described in this catalogue (noting such description may be amended by any saleroom notice or announcement) which is stated without qualification to be the work of a named author or authorship is authentic and not a forgery. The term “Author” or “authorship” refers to the creator of the property or to the period, culture, source, or origin as the case may be, with which the creation of such property is identified in the catalogue.

The warranty is subject to the following: it does not apply where a) the catalogue description or saleroom notice corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars and experts at the date of the sale or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of opinions, or b) correct identification of a lot can be demonstrated only by means of a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at the date of the publication of the catalogue was unreasonably expensive or impractical or likely to have caused damage to the property.

The benefits of the warranty are not assignable and shall apply only to the original buyer of the lot as shown on the invoice originally issued by Webb’s when the lot was sold at Auction. The Original Buyer must have remained the owner of the lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party. The Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against the Seller in place of any other remedy which might be available, is the cancellation of the sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid for the lot less the buyer’s premium which is non-refundable. Neither the Seller nor Webb’s will be liable for any special, incidental nor consequential damages including, without limitation, loss of profits. The Buyer must give written notice of claim to us within thirty days of the date of the Auction. The Seller shall have the right, to require the Buyer to obtain two written opinions by recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to the Buyer and Webb’s to decide whether or not to cancel the sale under warranty. The Buyer must return the lot to Seller in the same condition that it was purchased.

8. Severability If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the Conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

9. Copyright The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by Webb’s relating to a lot including the contents of this catalogue, is and shall remain the property at all times of Webb’s and shall not be used by the Buyer, nor by anyone else without our prior written consent. Webb’s and the Seller make no representation or warranty that the Buyer of a property will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights in it.

10. Law and Jurisdiction These terms and conditions and any matters concerned with the foregoing fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New Zealand, unless otherwise stated.

11. Pre-Sale Estimates Webb’s publishes with each catalogue our opinion as to the estimated price range for each lot. These estimates are approximate prices only and are not intended to be definitive. They are prepared well in advance of the sale and may be subject to revision. Interested parties should contact Webb’s prior to auction for updated pre-sale estimates and starting prices.

12. Sale Results Webb’s will provide auction results, which will be available as soon as possible after the sale. Results will include buyer’s premium. These results will be posted at www. webbs.co.nz 13. Goods and Service Tax GST is applicable on the hammer price in the case where the seller is selling property that is owned by an entity registered for GST. GST is also applicable on the hammer price in the case where the seller is not a New Zealand resident. These lots are denoted by a dagger symbol † placed next to the estimate.

GST is also applicable on the buyer’s premium.

Overseas buyers and buyers non-resident in New Zealand will not be charged GST on both hammer price and premiums under the following conditions: The items are exported through a Webb’s approved freight company including New Zealand Post. The items are exported within 60 days of the date of the sale The invoice supplied

by Webb’s for purchases will be regarded as a Tax invoice for GST purposes.

14. Jewels & Watches Gemstones Gemstones have historically been subjected to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearances. Sapphires and rubies are routinely heat treated to improve their colour and clarity, similarly emeralds are frequently treated with oils or resin for the same purpose. Other treatments such as staining and dyeing, irradiation, filling or coating may have been used on other precious and semi-precious gemstones and organic material. These treatments may be permanent, whilst others may need special care to preserve their appearance. Buyers should assume that each lot has been subject to some form of treatment and that the estimates reflect this. A number of laboratories issue certificates that give detailed descriptions of gemstones, and in the event that Webb’s has been supplied with or obtained certificates for any lot, this shall be noted in the catalogue. However, as there may not be consensus between different laboratories on the degree, or types of treatment of the gemstones Webb’s supplies these without warranty.

Pearls Pearls, like gemstones, can also be subjected to various treatments. Buyers should assume that any pearls sold by Webb’s may have been subjected to such treatments, and that the catalogue estimates reflect this.

Watches Please note: All watches sold by Webb’s are sold on an “as is” basis. Webb’s makes no representation or warranty that any watch is in working order. Many watches have been repaired over their lifetime and may contain non-original parts. The absence of any reference to the condition of a watch does not imply that the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Buyers should be aware that a general service charge for battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary.

Estimated Weights If a stone has a known weight, it has been weighed out of the mount. If a stone has an estimated weight, it is an approximate weight only and has been measured by us in the mount and is a statement of opinion only. The information is given as a guide only and Buyers should satisfy themselves with regard to this information as to its accuracy.
