AUSTRALIAN ART pp. 80 coloured plates #121122 A superb selection of simple and sensational works as well as significant decorative arts and jewellery belonging to the late and great Australian artist Margaret Olley AC (1923-2011) went on sale at Sydney on Sunday 30th June 2013.
The Sale of 318 lots conducted by Mossgreen Auctions of Melbourne who, in conjunction with Philip Bacon Galleries at Brisbane, produced the superb catalogue, achieved a record result.
PRE-SALE LOW ESTIMATE: $259,875.00 TOTAL RESULT INC. BP: $624,823.00
All proceeds from the auction were pledged to benefit the Margaret Olley Art Trust, which is charged with continuing her support of the arts. There was lots of very spirited bidding, the Australian newspaper describing it as Olleymania.
Margaret Olley was quite literally the indomitable spirit of art in Australia for many generations. Her many interior paintings remain as an insightful and enduring legacy to a life well lived on her own terms and to the full.
Stiff card covers.
