Auction Aboriginal Art 04 June 2019 7Pm Aest

Cooee's multi-vendor auction features 105 lots including 36 works from the estate of collector and art enthusiast Mike Chandler. The estimated value is $750, 000 - $1. 4 million. Mike Chandler was a close friend and client, for more than 2decades Mike, and his delightful wife Barbie were welcome additions to any art event or exhibition. We will miss him greatly. The paintings from his estate are offered as Lots 46 – 75 preceded by a short tribute. These artworks will beon display in our Bondi showroom. Sale highlights include a highly signifcant early Papunya board by Johnny Scobie Tjapanangka (Lot No. 16) that has been returned toAustralia from the US. Women's Dreaming, 1972, 63 x 72. 5 cm, estimated at $40, 000-60, 000, is believed to be the only painting that Scobie created during the Bardon years. An illustration of this work and accompanying notes including a copy of the original feld note and drawing is reproduced in Geoffrey Bardon and James Bardon's magnum opus on the origins of the Western Desert Painting Movement. * An even earlier Papunya board, Lot No. 15, is a genuine sleeper. Created in 1971 it was just the forth painting ever created by Johnny Warrangkula Tjupurrula and carries the very conservative estimate of $8, 000-11, 000. Contemporary urban works by Lin Onus and Richard Bell stand out in this offering and Gumurring Garkman, 1994 is a delightful image in Lin's most successful style.
