THE JOHN GALE COLLECTION AUCTION
4 l e o n a r d j o e l . c o m . a u
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.

1 ANNE HALL (BORN 1945)
Woman with Pink Background 196781.5 x 61 cm
$900-1,200
8 l e o n a r d j o e l . c o m . a u
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.

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-
