Specialists in Single Owner Collections

THE JOHN GALE COLLECTION AUCTION


For 97 years Leonard Joel has been providing

clients from all walks of life and all collecting

habits sale solutions for out-of-city home

contents and collections and this February

felt like a perfect example of how our offices

will happily traverse regions and states to

bring our collecting community to less typical

areas for auction. The Huntly property in

Canberra, a grand country estate and the

Hardwick collection in Shoreham, Victoria,

a more modest but nonetheless interesting

property contents dispersal, were good

examples of how scalable and affordable

single-owner auctions can be when one is

dealing with a full-service auction house like

Leonard Joel.

Regional auctions require bespoke solutions

to ensure distance from the collecting

community is not an obstacle to strong

bidding and collector interest and in my

experience there are essentially three critical

elements that must be harmonised for off-

site auctions in order to compress distance

and engage with a more remote audience and

they are:

• Meaningful engagement with family

members, local stakeholders and populations

that are more proximate and naturally

interested in the collection

• Ensuring the entire collection enjoys

robust digital communication and live online

bidding

• Making it as easy as possible for

prospective buyers (whether on site or

online) to view, bid, settle and collect

With these three elements in mind Leonard

Joel combines traditional regional marketing

with the most sophisticated digital platform

to ensure every auction is exposed to every

collector and that each auction is in keeping

with family wishes and relevant to the

current collecting market place.

If you have a regional collection that requires

local sale do not hesitate to contact John

Albrecht, National Head of Collections on

03 8825 5619 or john.albrecht@leonardjoel.

3 MARCH 2016 AT 6PM

1 ANNE HALL (BORN 1945)

Woman with Pink Background 196781.5 x 61 cm

$900-1,200


The Last Antipodean Expressionist Anne Hall, like Joy Hester, had the misfortune to be married to one of the

leading Figurative Expressionists in the history of Australian Art. Hall married

John Perceval in 1972 and Hester, Albert Tucker in 1941. Like Hester, Hall was

swept up in the steamy John and Sunday Reed circle out at Heide. Arthur Boyd

and Sidney Nolan cast longer shadows than Perceval who was the youngest

and died in 2000. Nolan departed in 1992 and Boyd in 1999. Which makes

Anne Hall the last surviving member of this heroic chapter of Australian art.

Hall studied at RMIT, and had met Perceval in 1967. Right from the start her

work showed a deep emotional intensity, particularly in her drawings. While

not a signatory to the Antipodean Manifesto, like Boyd and Perceval in 1959,

Hall was a next generation Figurative Expressionist, and what one could call an

“Antipodean” by style and marriage. She began exhibiting with the South Yarra

Gallery in 1968 and into the 1970s. Her work was reviewed favorably during

this period by the Herald Art Critic Alan McCulloch who praised her work as

“highly imaginative, strong in observation of character and understanding of

distortion”. And it was Patrick McCaughey of The Age who described her as an

heir to the Antipodean Movement.

Urgency of expression and highly developed drawing skills are hallmarks of Hall’s

very personal style. Gestural workings, often-distorted facial features running

off into a single line characterize much of her drawn oeuvre. Staring eyes

sometimes veiled by a pentimenti of charcoal dust are watching us. Sinuous

fingers seemingly searching for the warmth of touch reach out for something

unanswered.

As the dust settles on the 20th century there is greater transparency. It seems

that the relationship between Hall and Perceval was a collaborative one as well

as a caring one. Perceval’s biographer, Traudi Allen, originally noticed this when

writing about Perceval’s masterpiece Veronica and the Conspirators, based on

the Dutch master Heironymous Bosch’s Christ Carrying the Cross. Allen writes

that Perceval had Hall copy the right hand corner of the Bosch which he then

improvised around.

When comparing the work of both during their ten-year marriage it becomes

clear there are many stylistic similarities, as there was between Tucker and Hester.

Their relationship ended in divorce in 1981 following Perceval’s admission into

Larundel Psychiatric Hospital with alcoholism and schizophrenia in 1977.

After showing great promise during the pre-Perceval years of her career, moving

in with Perceval, at the very, least cost Hall much independence as an artist. It

is in the post-Perceval period that signs of a different artist begin to emerge.

Yet there hasn’t been enough work around to really make an informed opinion.

Hence there is great excitement in the art trade over Leonard Joel’s securing of

over two hundred works, to be auctioned on Thursday 3rd March.

There are over thirty-five paintings and the rest are works on paper. The earliest

is dated 1965. Most cover the tumultuous years with Perceval, and there are

a few from the post-Perceval period. Highlights would include two portraits of

Perceval. One in a patterned sweater dated 1976 a year before Larundel . The

other is dated 1981 the year of their divorce. The eyes in the first are open

to the world, in the second they are downcast. Blank. Desolate. Hall’s paint

handling in both is passionate, descriptive, deliberate, and the bitterness that

resides in the corners of Perceval’s mouth is not expressionist license, but how it

was. Both these works would sit well beside other portraits of Perceval painted

in the same period : Tucker also painted Perceval in 1976. It’s a brutal painting

with bulging blood-shot eyes and iron bark for hair. And Clifton Pugh was a

runner up in the Archibald Prize in 1985 with a rather saccharine portrayal.

Both miss the man. Whereas Hall, no doubt because of daily contact cuts right

through appearances to Perceval’s very soul.

Sydney Auction

7 MARCH 2016 AT 6PM

Following the success of the Colin Lanceley Estate

auction in Sydney late last year, we are excited to

bring art as a dedicated category to our Sydney

auctions in 2016. Our March catalogue has a

wonderfully diverse range of offerings, but there

is a particularly strong selection of modern and

contemporary Australian and Aboriginal art. From

major works such as John Firth-Smith’s beautifully

expressive Moonbeam (lot 265) to graphics like

Lloyd Rees’ delightful Wind on the Harbour (lot

287), I believe we have something to suit every

collector. We look forward to greeting our clients

at the viewing.

Featuring in our jewellery section for the Sydney

March sale is an impressive array of brooches.

Once considered purposeful for their functionality

in holding garments in place, the brooch has

evolved to become a decorative piece of jewellery,

used to highlight and stylise ones outfit and

portray an element of status.

Over the centuries we have seen a diverse range

of pieces created by artisans, each in keeping

with the style of the period. Our cover lot, the

Edwardian pearl and diamond brooch is a fine

example of jewellery from the early 1900’s. With

detailed scrolling motifs, used to accentuate the

natural pearls and highlight the diamonds. The

period was renowned for refocusing on delicate

and sophisticated designs.

The post war period incorporated geometric

stylings from the previous Art Deco era, while

focusing on fun and bright colour pallets together

with funky designs. Pulling back on the intricacies

of previous eras, creations became more minimalist

and abstract with ideas for the post war modern

woman. Using and revisiting more unknown

gemstones such a chrysoberyl, lapis lazuli and rock

crystal.

Finally, the ever popular floral motif is a classic

style of brooch. Formed using various gems

carved, polished and faceted to create stunning

detail, dimensions and textures to an otherwise

simple image.

The brooch is a fantastic way to reinvent a family

heirloom, with a modern twist. This beautiful

collection of brooches are some of the many fine

items to be offered in our upcoming auction in

Sydney.

COLLECTION

An Important Single-Owner Collection

The exotic shop front of 881 High Street,

Armadale, has long been known as a window into

the playground of the enigmatic enfant terrible of

the Australian antiques industry, Graham Geddes.

For those who only know him by name, Graham

is certainly more formidable than his reputation

by measures of character and knowledge. A well-

known perfectionist, academic and patron of the

arts, his collection reflects his personality by his

allegiance to history and to mastered trades lost

over the past centuries.

As the monumental task of consolidating the four

decade enterprise continues, Leonard Joel are

delighted to be granted access once more to the

‘inner sanctum’ of Australia’s premiere antiques

dealership and to offer our clients the opportunity

to purchase a treasure from this encyclopedic

collection of styles, periods and techniques, in an

auction to be held at the premises on Sunday 20th

March 2016.

Almost exactly a year from the first offering,

Graham has since spent some months on a grand

tour of Europe, traversing many antique shops,

searching for items of high calibre to add to his

coveted collection. Housed over two levels,

this eclectic, well-curated collection showcases

a diverse offering of well-travelled furnishings

and objects, which is sure to appeal to a broad

spectrum of buyers, from the interior decorator to

the niche collector here and abroad.

A significant highlight of the collection and one

of the owner’s favourite pieces is a rare ancient

Egyptian bronze figure of Sekhmet. The 2,500

year old relic was acquired three decades ago

at Sotheby’s London showrooms and has been

cherished ever since .The museum quality bronze

deity, recently on loan to the National Gallery of

Victoria, is a perfect representation of the Graham

Geddes collection as it is sure to attract historians

and collectors alike.

This exquisite handcrafted platinum mounted set,

with perfectly matched lively Colombian emeralds

of vivid gooseberry bluish-green colour are

unmistakably from the Colombia’s Chivor mine.

The set is in immaculate condition with all gems

assessed as being natural and of extremely high

quality. There are four emeralds totalling 15.42cts,

all with accompanying GRS laboratory Certificates,

and seventy-five diamonds totalling approximately

16.0cts.

It is extremely rare to have a perfectly matched set

like this due to the difficulty in matching different

crystals that have different levels of colour and

purity. When this elegant set was created, the four

gems were cut from the same raw emerald crystal

to ensure the stones match perfectly. Finding a

crystal large enough and cutting it this way has

created something of breathtaking quality. As

supply diminishes at Colombian mines such as

Chivor, where these emeralds were discovered,

the rarity of this set will only increase.

This April Modern Design focuses on the innovation

and moving trends of the 1970s and 80s. Unlike

previous era’s of wooden square furniture, cut and

shaped with tools and hand crafted, the 70s and

80s delved into the imagination with materials

such as foam, plastics, leather, liquids and chrome

to generate more organic shapes. It was a time

when ideas could be interpreted into creations;

innovating new possibilities about space and the

future of furniture design.

Designers of these periods such as Pierre Cardin,

Joe Colombo and Ettore Sottsass may have

created furniture that at the time made people

uncomfortable, however in time it became the

furniture of the future. Now some 30 years later

these designs are considered amazing and more

collectable than ever. These daring aesthetics and

entertaining visions, bold colours, shapes and

materials are exactly what people want today to

fill their spaces with.

Quality furniture designs of the past will always

have relevance in our future and it is that particular

functionality and beauty that forever transcends

time and taste. So this April I invite you to enjoy

the diversity and exciting shift in trends evolving

within this exciting category.

Coast and Country: The Hardwick Family Collection of Art and Antiques

Against an idyllic setting of sunshine and blue skies,

The Hardwick Family Collection of Art and Antiques

was dispersed within the lush surrounds of the

Hardwick’s Shoreham property, in an atmosphere

of shared enjoyment in the dispersal of a much-

loved collection to a new generation of art lovers.

Conducted in a more traditional style, the sale

combined elements of a fine art auction with those

of an old fashioned country clearing sale, and the

offering was received with a warmth befitting of a

family so well-liked in the district.

Stand-out results in the auction included the much

admired work by Charles Wheeler, The Stockman

(lot 160), a favourite painting of the late Dowell

Hardwick, which realised $3,600 (IBP). Among

the many works depicting local landmarks in the

Shoreham area, the top price went to a work by

Raymond Wallis, Coastal Scene (lot 24), which

went to a keen art collector based in the local area.

Looking further afar, Will Rowell’s early depiction of

Sydney Harbour Bridge from Woolloomooloo (lot

135) found a buyer at $1,350 (IBP).

Not all of the top prices were for art works, though,

with many of the farming related items bringing

strong prices, and also providing managing

director, John Albrecht, with a career-first sale of a

red tractor!

Generous, philanthropic, artistic and a real character and personality are just

a few of the regularly repeated adorations for John Gale relayed at our recent

auction at his Canberra pastoral homestead ‘Huntly’. The admiration for John

Gale translated into competitive bidding amongst those who know him and

other private collectors after the rare and unusual. Many who worked on or

visited the property were delighted to be given the opportunity to take home

a memento and the local bidding was strong as people were determined

to ward off international bids, resulting in most of the items remaining in

Australia.

The highlights of furniture and decorative arts were; lot 1, An Impressive and

Large Victorian Mahogany Extension Dining Table - Estimate: $2,500-3,500 -

Sold for $8,000, lot 2, A Good Set of Eight Regency Mahogany Dining Chairs -

Estimate: $1,500-2,500 - Sold for $4,200, lot 55, Boxed Sterling Silver Canteen

of Cutlery - Estimate: $3,000-5,000 - Sold for $13,000, lot 124, An Extensive

Royal Worcester Westminster Eggshell Blue Dinner Service - Estimate: $2,000-

3,000 - Sold for $5,000, lot 58, Fine Pair of George II Sterling Silver Sauce

Boats - Estimate: $700-1,000 - Sold for $2,800, the results certainly proving

there is still a strong market for fine dining collectables and enhancers. Also

performing exceptionally well and finding homes here in Australia were

lot 137, A Fine 19th Century Cary Family Celestial Floor Globe - Estimate:

$4,000-6,000 - Sold for $20,000 and lot 265, A Rare G.J Lines Brothers

Sportsboy Rocking Horse on Stand - Estimate: $1,000-2,000 - Sold for $3,800.

The collection also had a small but interesting art element which performed

strongly. An eclectic mix of Australian and international paintings and

works on paper, the art was popular during the viewing and inspired

robust bidding. Most of the pieces found new Australian homes, although

a lucky few of the international bidders managed to secure their sought

after lots. The most hotly contested pieces included lot 14, Tristram James

Ellis (British, 1844-1922), Anatolic Hissar 1882, watercolour on paper, 27

x 57cm - Estimate: $700-1,000 - Sold for $2,400, lot 15A, Alan Stubbs

(1898-1976), The Mill, watercolour on paper, 27 x 38cm - Estimate: $200-

300 -Sold for $600, lot 19, Ebenezer Wake Cook (1844-1926), Venice 1899,

watercolour on paper, 19 x 31cm - Estimate $400-600 - Sold for $650, lot 102,

Nineteenth Century Dutch School, Floral Still Life, oil on canvas, 145 x 104cm

- Estimate $1,200-1,800 - Sold for $2,800 and lot 200, Clem Millward (born

1929), St Helens Gorge, oil on canvas, 95 x 95cm - Estimate $600-1,000 - Sold

for $1,300.

Many who attended the auction commented that the property was one of

the most outstanding sale settings they had ever attended. Patrons made a

day of it by meandering through the famed grounds whilst the auction was in

progress. The family were delighted with the results and Leonard Joel looks

forward to conducting many more such events. Please contact our specialists
