Menzies’ auction on 30 November in Sydney offer 186 lots presenting a wonderful variety of artworks at price points that will suit all budgets.
You could aspire to major works by Australian masters like Jeffrey Smart or Fred Williams (whose “Waterpond, Cottlesbridge” gets cover lot credentials) or you could go for much more modestly priced photographs or prints by Marc Chagall, Max Dupain, Bill Henson or Callum Morton.
With only four weeks to Christmas, this last of the “big” auctions in 2017 might be just the perfect opportunity to get something unique for someone special.
Have a look online, and of course, personal viewing is always highly recommended.
The public preview is open from Thursday, 23 November, at the Menzies premises at 12 Todman Avenue, Kensington, and online at the Menzies website.
We will be attending the auction, and happy to assist you with independent pre-sale advice and due diligence report. Contact us by phone on 02 9977 7764 and email info@bhfineart.com for more information.
