Melbourne Exhibition Continues - Important Australian & International Art
IMPORTANT AUSTRALIAN &
INTERNATIONAL ART
The exhibition will be on view in Melbourne from Wednesday 19 April – Sunday 23 April, 10 am to 5 pm, at 14-16 Collins Street.
Among the highlights of the sale is Sidney Nolan’s remarkable Soldier on the Beach (1962) (lot 31, estimate $400,000–600,000, pictured above).
Soldier on the Beach is one of Nolan’s most eloquent and poignant compositions on the Gallipoli theme that, through its piercing representation of a fallen soldier, transcends a specific time and place and becomes a symbol of the casualties, sufferings and sacrifices experienced in every war.
Soldier on the Beach is an image of brevity and power, tenderness and pathos, a hymn from one brother to another. We are honoured to be entrusted with the sale of Nolan’s heroic masterpiece, offered for the first time for public auction.
Following Melbourne, the Sydney exhibition will take place from Thursday 27 April – Tuesday 2 May, 10 am to 5 pm at 30 Queen Street, Woollahra.
The auction will be held at the National Council of Jewish Women of Australia, 111 Queen Street, Woollahra at 6.30 pm on 2 May 2023.
