Page 5: LEONARD, issue 34, November 2014

Recent articles in Australian papers about

the goings on in the fine art world prompted

me to start googling and exploring that

elegant-sounding but often overvalued word

“provenance”. Equally, and recently, I was

also asked to explain provenance and I must

say I struggled to explain myself eloquently

or in any sort of straight forward fashion. So

this is my attempt to provide our readers with

a sobering and straight forward appraisal of

the word and its usage.

To begin with, let’s begin with “mere puff”

which is one of those wonderful old common

law terms devised to describe statements

or terms that should not be relied upon as

either significant or legally material – teeth

whitening commercials come immediately

to my mind as a good example! Basic

provenance in a catalogue, like “Private

Collection, Melbourne” as a simple example,

should be relied upon at face value but the

important point is that, in isolation, it is a

descriptor or fact that in no way enhances

the value or stature of the item in question.

So for all intents and purposes it may as well

be “mere puff” or if one wanted to look with

more sympathetic eyes, a simple but elegant

way to enhance the marketing of the item in

question; a harmless way to make slightly

more fuss of someone’s property.

Provenance that is meaningful on the other

hand is that list of ownerships, exhibitions,

publications and sometimes even discovery

and restorations (the latter two appear rarely

in provenance lists) that

quite literally traces the journey, rather than

just the ownership of that item. The more

extensive and importantly verifiable that

list is the more influential it is in improving

the raw value of the item in question. A

provenance question, for example, that has

become so topical at an international level in

recent decades is when an otherwise detailed

provenance cannot be explained between the

years 1933 and 1945. Public galleries with

European collections are giving this topic

intense attention, albeit quietly.

Finally there is “provenience”, used

commonly in American archaeology and

international anthropology circles to record

the three dimensional spot within which the

item was discovered; otherwise known as the

“find spot” (thank you Wikipedia!). If one

was to try and relate the term back to the art

world one might describe the “find spot” as

the studio or place within which the work of

art was created. Lucio’s restaurant in Sydney

is a charming example of a “find spot”. There

you will find all over the walls drawings and

musings from many an artist that as a thank

you, for a wonderful meal or experience, have

grabbed a table cloth, a napkin or a piece of

hastily supplied piece of paper, has whipped

up a little bit of art.

Funny, really, that perhaps one of the

soundest forms of provenance in Australia

today are those works of art still residing in

those restaurants.

Leonard Joel in conjunction with the Modern

Design department is proud to present one of the

most comprehensive Australian collections of

vintage fashion by the renowned Italian designer,

Emilio Pucci (1914-1992). Covering key periods

from the 1950s through to the 1970s, the collection

includes iconic designs from the famous 1960s silk

jersey psychedelic printed shift dresses, through

to terry velvet beach capes, swimwear, bags, silk

scarves, ties and other ephemera. Pucci was known

as ‘The Prince of Prints’ - his designs were worn by

high society figures and film stars from Elizabeth

Taylor to the unforgettable Marilyn Monroe, who

was actually buried in her favourite Pucci dress.

Pucci’s designs combined luxurious fabrics with

extravagant, vibrantly coloured prints. It was the

prints themselves that were most groundbreaking

- his colour palettes, quirky patterns and bold

designs were exceptional. Pucci’s use of silk

stretch fabrics showed an intuitive understanding

of the female form - subtle yet at the same time

seductive and exciting. This rare assemblage has

been lovingly collected over the past 20 years by

a single owner based in Melbourne. Highlights

from the collection include a 1960s silk jersey

printed pant-suit, reputed to have belonged to one

of Cary Grant’s wives; air hostess uniforms for the

American Braniff Airlines and an original letter

from Pucci to one of his clients, signed in pen.

The collection also features several outrageous

capes and incredible silk jersey dresses, even some

early labels from the ‘Emilio of Capri’ collection.

There is also a silk blouse of the same type worn

by Samantha (Kim Cattrall) in an episode of Sex

and the City, as well as unopened Vivara perfumes,

still in their original silk Pucci covered boxes. The

gentlemen won’t miss out either, with a selection

men’s printed silk ties to choose from and a

luxurious burnt orange velvet Ermenegildo Zegna

designed blazer with Pucci printed lining.

This truly is a once in a lifetime vintage collection

- items such as these will never be available at the

same time again!

The Leonard Room saleroom at Leonard Joel assumed something of the appearance of a

classical sculpture gallery on Sunday 26th October, when a single owner collection of

bronze and marble statuary and Art Deco furniture was dispersed. However, it was lot

111, a life sized contemporary bronze figure of a man – widely believed to Mark Twain

– seated on a park bench which secured one of the top prices, selling to a collector for

$29,280 (IBP) after heated bidding between room and telephone bidders.

Other highlights from the collection included the monumental bronze statue Aeneas,

Anchises and Asanius Escaping Troy, after Pierre Lapautre, which realised $34,160 (IBP)

and a widely admired patinated bronze garden fountain (lot 120), which sold for $23,180.

Continuing the theme of statuary, an Italian marble group on pedestal, Kid and Goat,

after Giovita Lombardi, was competed by two bidders to a final hammer price of $39,040.

Held in the same Victorian Western District family for over 50 years, the statue will now

be housed in the grounds of another landmark property on the outskirts of Melbourne.

Among the three remaining single owner collections in the auction, the Norm Frost

Collection of Fine Timepieces provided further highlights, most notably a fine quality

Regency mahogany cased musical bracket clock, which realised $20,740 (IBP). Also

amongst the outstanding selection of bracket clocks was a George II example of compact

proportions, signed Henry Fish, which found a new home at $17,000 (IBP).

sYDneY jeweLs & ObjeTs D’aRT

For me now the picture is complete. After the great success of our

inaugural Sydney ‘Jewels & Objets D’Art’ auction in August I immediately

began thinking, “what next”? Right from the concept stage of the

Leonard Joel Sydney office it has been my ambition to present our loyal Sydney

clients a petit version, encompassing all departments, of the types of treasures and

collections that Leonard Joel has to offer but with a strong focus on Fine Jewellery and

Wristwatches. But equally and in conjunction with 69 John St Fine Art Specialists, that

have curated the art component of this auction, I feel I have succeeded in bringing you

the myriad of categories that Leonard Joel has to offer. While always difficult to narrow

down, my

favourite items in this auction are not necessarily the most costly ones either. Lot 39

intrigues me; an intricately designed miniature pistol charm that actually fires a silver

bullet, in the most gentle of fashion of course! In our decorative arts section I love lot

234, the bronze and ivory ‘Royal Page’ figure, simply for its whimsy and lot 330, the

Roland Shakespeare Wakelin painting of a Sydney Harbour Bridge scene, so reminiscent

of a simpler time but with the brooding post-war progress so present, is a work from

this catalogue that I keep coming back to. The auction is unashamedly eclectic but with

a strong focus on Fine Jewels, a category nationally that Leonard Joel leads the way in

and I hope that there is something special here that will satisfy your personal collection.

I look forward to meeting you at the viewing and that you are successful with

a purchase at the auction!

FINE ART PREVIEW

Leonard Joel is proud to have been entrusted with offering artworks from the collection

of the Late Beverly Brown (1949-2012). Brown grew up in a philanthropic family in

Melbourne surrounded by important Australian paintings. Throughout her life, she

herself became a generous benefactor and astute collector of fine nineteenth and

twentieth century Australian art.

Imbued with a romantic character, this fine collection of forty-two, traditional and

modern, oil and watercolour paintings, to be sold on 2 December at the Fine Art Auction,

is representative of the many important Australian artists working in Australia and

internationally. These examples reflect Victorian tastes and fashions and demonstrated

allegiances to the latest English and European tendencies of the Royal Academy and

the Salon.

Highlights from the traditional collection include John Peter Russell’s double sided

Portofino watercolour conservatively estimated at $12,000–18,000, and Ellis Rowan’s

finely painted Wattle $2,000-4,000. Other artists represented include Walter Withers,

George Lambert, Nora Heysen and Arthur Boyd among others.

This year’s December Fine Art auction features a particularly strong focus on European

art, headlined by French Expressionist Bernard Buffet’s Nature Morte à la Cafetière Verte

$35,000-55,000, and well supported by post-Impressionist en plein air scenes including

Lucien Adrion’s Regatta $15,000-20,000. Further highlights include a Collection of Polish

art from the turn of the century spearheaded by Symbolist painter Jacek Malczewski’s

Self Portrait $30,000-50,000.
