Among the 87 lots offered at Sotheby’s sale of Important Australian Art on 27 August, there are several multiple offerings from a number of Australian masters – including not surprisingly Arthur Boyd, Hans Heysen, Sidney Nolan, Arthur Streeton, Norman Lindsay and William Dobell.
More surprising perhaps is the appearance of four works by Cressida Campbell. But on reflection, given recent auction results demonstrating her status as the current darling of the contemporary art market, perhaps not.
There are some extraordinary museum-quality paintings in this sale, and David has put some of them together for our “Dave’s Faves” below.
You can view the paintings in person at:
– in Melbourne at 14-16 Collins Street, from 13 – 18 August
– in Sydney at 30 Queen Street, from 22 – 27 August.
The entire auction catalogue is of course available online at Sotheby’s.
The auction is held on Tuesday, 27 August 2019, 6.30 pm at the Hotel Intercontinental in Sydney.
