Melbourne Exhibition Continues - Important Australian Art from the Selwyn & Renata Litton Collection
IMPORTANT AUSTRALIAN ART FROM THE SELWYN & RENATA LITTON COLLECTION
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 Arthur Boyd’s magnificent On the Banks of the Shoalhaven (1984) (lot 8, estimate $300,000–400,000, pictured above).
Bathed in a clear, crisp light, On the Banks of the Shoalhaven pays homage to the extreme beauty and solace that Boyd found in the natural environment: a landscape devoid of human habitation and intervention and an untouched natural wilderness where the imagination reigns free. Boyd’s sustained series of the Shoalhaven landscape are amongst the artist’s most widely appreciated images and form an indelible part of twentieth century Australian landscape painting.
Originally acquired for the prestigious G.J. Coles, subsequently Coles Myer Collection, On the Banks of the Shoalhaven has long been regarded as amongst the very finest of the series.
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.
