Now some 30 years later, this intriguing work takes centre stage in a major exhibition of the artist’s work

an edition of 20 replicating the full-size version situated on Mounts Bay Road, at the site of the old Crawley Baths. This sculpture symbolises a particular period in West Australian history (1914–1970) when the baths were a meeting place and venue for swimming competitions. Eliza represents a certain nostalgia, but simultaneously is a statement contemporary of public art.Medium: Bronze, edition of 20Size: 34cm (height) Price: $3300Exhibition: ongoing,Gunyulgup Valley Drive, Yallingup, (08) 9755 2177, gunyulgupgalleries.com.au.

ARTIST PROFILE

Clifton Bieundurry recalls the elaborate artwork that adorned his body during ceremonial dances as a kid.

He remembers the symbols and patterns, each laden with meaning, and the spiritual relevance they had for his Walmajarri people in the Central Kimberley desert.

Much of what he learnt growing up out bush still resonates with Clifton and the art he creates today.

But there’s something diff erent about his approach – an outward way of looking – that makes his ornate images relate to all.

It’s a gift that has recently taken Clifton on a journey beyond the surreal.

In January this year he fl ew to New York for the opening of Nomad Two Worlds, a collaborative art project which saw him paint his signature style over the large-scale images of renowned fashion photographer Russell James.

Launched during Australia week at Donna Karan’s Stephan Weiss Studio, the exhibition attracted the likes of Baz Lurhmann, Hugh Jackman, Martha Stewart, and will.i.am (of Black Eyed Peas fame).

It was, not surprisingly, an experience “too big for words.”

“I’m still pinching myself,” Clifton says, head shaking in disbelief. “I really had no idea how huge it was or how powerful the artworks were until I stepped into that gallery.

“And it wasn’t just the art – there was the Apology video too, which was produced by the same people who did Obama’s Yes We Can video.

“It features Kevin Rudd’s apology speech with lots of footage from the Kimberley – I was asked to do some vocals on it. All of a sudden I was in this recording studio making music with the QANTAS Youth Choir.”

Clifton Bieundurry’s creative spirit was born out of the Central Kimberley desert but he’s now bringing his unique take on Indigenous identity to the world. TEXT: Nathan Scolaro PORTRAIT: Tony McDonough

DISTINCTIVE ANTIQUES AND INTERIORSPiece: Pair of Paris porcelain tazzasCirca: 1880Price: $6600Paris porcelain refers not to a single manufacturer but to more than 30 artisans based within Paris in the 18th and 19th Centuries. At first they had to compete with the king’s own royal manufactory, Sevres. But the industry came to thrive from competition, and many artisans had patrons from the French nobility for whom they created items which reflected quickly changing styles and customs. This pair of decorative tazzas is a stunning example of such work. They are in beautiful condition featuring an ornate style and original gilding. 249 Stirling Hwy, Claremont, (08) 9284 4469

ALEXANDER CARR ANTIQUESPiece: Japanned cocktail cabinetCirca: 1920Price: $8800“Japanned” refers to a style of European furniture that imitates Asian lacquer work. This piece is created in a typically English manner, possessing excellent proportions and versatile functionality. Suitable as a cocktail cabinet or TV storage unit, it features a black lacquered surface with oriental tree and floral motifs set within a temple scene. All tracery is in raised, faded gold gesso. The stand is carved fruitwood in the baroque style on well-formed ball and claw feet. Purchased from a private Toorak estate. Size: 180cm (height), 120cm (width), 25cm (depth). 2/26 St Georges Terrace, Perth, (08) 9225 4545

STEVEN SHER ANTIQUESPiece: Platinum 2.50ct diamond solitaire ringCirca: 1920Price: POAThis absolutely stunning Art Deco diamond solitaire ring is set in platinum and features an old mine cut diamond of 2.25ct and two shoulder tapered baguette cut diamonds of 0.125ct each. The total diamond weight is 2.50ct. Platinum is a strong material much loved by talented jewellers in the making of fine jewellery. It helps to bring out the sparkle of diamonds and resists scratching. Elegance, simplicity and with plenty of bling, it makes for an ideal engagement ring.

BRANS ANTIQUES & ARTPiece: Italian bronze figure of the Spinario on marble plinthCirca: 1790Price: POAThis is a beautiful copy of the ancient bronze figure Spinario, now housed in the Musei Capitolini, Rome. Although there have been various explanations of who Spinario was, it is often thought to depict a shepherd boy so focused on delivering a message to the Roman senate that he only stopped to remove a thorn from his foot once it was delivered. This particular example from Rome shows the figure’s innocent facial expression and features a lovely patina. 30-34 Glyde Street, Mosman Park, (08) 9384 7300

2000-YEAR-OLD CAMEO VASE UNVEILEDBonhams, one of the world’s oldest and largest auctioneers of fi ne art and antiques, announced in October that it has identifi ed a magnifi cent Roman cameo glass vase which may, it claims, be the most important of its kind in the world.

Bonhams head of antiques Chantelle Rountree says the vase is of major international importance. “Academically and artistically it is priceless. Scholars will be evaluating this fi nd for decades.”

Th e 33.5cm-high vase dates from between late First Century BC to early First Century AD and stands 33.5cm high.

Only 15 other Roman cameo glass vases and plaques are known to exist today. Th ese very rare vessels were highly artistic, luxury items, produced by the Roman Empire’s most skilled craftsmen.

Until now, the most famous example has been the Portland vase, held by the British Museum. It is smaller, standing at only 24cm high, is missing its base and has been restored three times.

Bonhams experts believe the recently-identifi ed vase, which is much more complex than others of its kind, could rewrite the history books on cameo vases.

Th e fi rst public presentation of the vase in Greece in September created huge excitement among delegates, who were drawn from the world’s leading museums and cultural institutions.

DISCOVERED DA VINCI REVALUED AT $182 MILLIONTh e discovery of a previously unidentifi ed work by Leonardo da Vinci (above) has been a hot topic since Antiques Trade Gazette broke the news in October.

Catalogued as German, early 19th Century, the 33 x 24cm portrait, in chalk, pen and ink on vellum, mounted on an oak board, sold for US$19,000 at Christie’s New York in the late 1990s. It was sold again in 2007 for a similar amount and in 2008 questions started surfacing about Leonardo’s suspected involvement in the portrait.

Subsequent scientifi c testing has revealed a fi ngerprint in the work that is “highly comparable” to one on a da Vinci work in the Vatican. A palm-print in the chalk is also consistent with da Vinci’s use of his hands in creating texture vand shading.

As a da Vinci, the portrait has been valued by London dealer Simon Dickinson at £100m ($182m). It will go on display next March at a show called And Th ere Was Light: Th e Masters of the Renaissance Seen in a New Light, to be held in the Eriksbergshallen, Gothenburg, Sweden. Th e owner of the portrait remains unidentifi ed. Paris-based Canadian dealer/collector Peter Silverman says he purchased it in 2007 for a client who’s going to take good care of him if it’s ever sold.

FLAG SELLS FOR 20 TIMES OVER ESTIMATED PRICEThe only surviving Union Jack from the Battle of Trafalgar has sold under the hammer for £320,000 – more than 20 times the estimated price of £15,000.

The 2.23 x 3.58m flag, which was flown from HMS Spartiate, one of Nelson’s warships, during the naval battle off the Spanish coast in 1805, was awarded post-battle to Lieutenant James Clephan in recognition of his courage.

The flag was then passed down through the family and his descendant, who lives in Australia, decided to consign the flag to auction at the special October 21 Trafalgar Day sale held by maritime specialist Charles Miller Ltd. The buyer has been revealed as an American who has been collecting for the last four decades and hopes to work with the relevant British authorities so that the flag can be returned to the UK to go on display.

ECO-FRIENDLY ANTIQUESTh e recent launch of UK not-for-profi t organisation Antiques are Green is an exciting step forward for the antiques industry. With the slogan “Invest in the future, recycle the past”, Antiques are Green aims to promote antiques as an alternative form of recycling and conserving natural resources.
