Nolan estate paintings auction a rare opportunity for art lovers
Art lovers will have a fantastic opportunity to acquire a Sir Sidney Nolan painting for as little as $3000 when Bonhams auctions important later works by the artist from his estate from 6.30pm Monday October 13 at Como House in South Yarra.
Considering that Nolan’s painting entitled First Class Marksman sold in March 2010 for $5.4 million (still the highest price for a work of Australian art at auction and bought by the Art Gallery of New South Wales) through Menzies Art Brands, this is a rare chance for art enthusiasts to become part of history.

Mossgreen
Coin auction a chance for modest punters
Mossgreen’s forthcoming Coins & Banknotes, Stamps & Postal History auction is a great opportunity for modest punters to dabble in the gold market without burning their fingers, according to Mossgreen director Charles Leski.
“The price of gold has dropped in recent times from $1850 an ounce to about $1200,” he said. “Normally, with the current unstable world situation, investors would initiate a run on gold – which hasn’t happened this time.”
As a result, the price of anything containing gold is down as much as 35-40 per cent compared with 10 years ago.
