Rare Whiteley hits Australian art auction market
While many of Australian icon Brett Whiteley’s (1939-1992) paintings are well-known to the secondary art market, every now and again one that hasn’t been seen for years comes into contention.
Such a work is Sketch of a Magnolia 1977 – a vibrant still life held in the same family collection since its acquisition in 1978 from Melbourne’s Joseph Brown Gallery.
The painting is a major feature (lot 41) of Menzies forthcoming auction from 6.30pm Wednesday August 20 at Menzies Gallery, 1 Darling Street, South Yarra.
