Philips Auctions

Youngs
For those auction goers into old Biggles books, 1930s and 1940s advertising and other ephemera like a Fletcher Jones coat hangar, a Mummy Puff Pastry calico flour bag and a 1980s Big M jigsaw, then Young’s Auctions 9.30am Friday July 25 auction at 229 Camberwell Road, East Hawthorn should be right up their alley.
The auction also has a wealth of other items including an antique French speltre statue and landscape paintings by artists such as Wickham Perry (whose works Young’s Auctions sells on a regular basis) and Fred Klix.

Menzies Art Brands
Menzies latest auction of Australian and international fine art and sculpture is not for the faint hearted – with many of the major offerings carrying six-figure estimates.
The sale, from 6.30pm Thursday July 24 at 1 Darling Street South Yarra, contains 150 lots (some with estimates as low as $2000 to cater for first time buyers) – but it is the larger works that are attracting most of the collector interest.
22 Jul
Mossgreen
Mossgreen’s first stand-alone multi-vendor Australian Indigenous and Oceanic Art auction will be held from 6.30pm Tuesday July 22 at 926-930 High Street, Armadale.
The auction, which continues from 2.30pm the next day, is planned to become an annual event in July each year – giving collectors a special sale to look forward to rather than being bombarded with ongoing mediocre events.
22 Jul
Leonard Joel
Kevin Charles (Pro) Hart is probably best remembered for his outrageous Stainmaster advertisements, where he was busy creating works of art from food on carpet by sliding around on his stomach on the floor before an enterprising female cleaner vacuumed up the creation without leaving a trace.
However, Pro Hart was much more than an advertising stunt. Born in Broken Hill in 1928, this prolific artist created and sold thousands of works during his lifetime and is possibly one of the most recognisable painters of his day.
