Menzies predicts another good art auction result
Menzies Art Brands was so enamoured with the results of its October auction last year (when it set a new artist auction record of almost $4 million for Brett Whiteley’s The Armchair) that it is predicting a very positive outcome for its first 2014 sale – from 6.30pm Thursday at 1 Darling Street, South Yarra.
Art specialist Tim Abdallah believes when records are set (particularly for Brett Whiteley paintings) confidence is returning to the market.

Out with the old in with the new - street art becomes the latest craze
Sandra Powell and Andrew King are no strangers to collecting art. She from a fashion background, he financial, the husband and wife team started collecting works by some of Australia’s leading artists in the early 1990s – all the while building a wholesale importing business supplying clothes to the Australian teenage market.
Sandra sourced iconic modernists such as Sidney Nolan and Joy Hester, while Andrew preferred the likes of Clarice Beckett.
Then about seven years ago, they began to focus on a very different genre – street art.

Auction for collector a sign of things to come
Greg Edwards started collecting model steam engines when he was only 13 years old – now he has more than 200, one no bigger than the size of his thumb.
“The largest – a 1920s British Atkinson steam truck – I can sit on,” he explained. “The thumb size model is a miniature oscillating steam engine.”
