Christian McCann Auctions
Emu Bottom – Victoria’s oldest existing farmhouse – is giving up its antique treasures in a special auction to be conducted on site at Homestead Way, Sunbury by Christian McCann Auctions from noon Sunday May 29.
Well-known these days as a wedding reception centre, husband and wife owners Hedley and Jan Elliott have decided to lease the property and as a result are disposing of the existing furnishings.
Built in 1836 by pioneer and one of Melbourne’s founders George Evans (1785-1876), the homestead was situated on one of the large squatting runs in the area.
29 May
Fine Arts Auctions
Auctioneer Phil Caldwell describes his latest sale as a cross between a circus and a museum.
“The way the auction is arranged, everything is next to each other – from stuffed African animals to rare paintings to Chinese vases,” he said.
One of the reasons for the congestion is that there are so many items (more than 500) in the sale, which is being held from 11am Sunday May 29 at 239 Wickham Road, Moorabbin.
26 May
Leonard Joel
Leonard Joel’s specialist prints and photography auction features strong images and bold colours to particularly attract younger buyers keen to hang them in their homes or apartments.
With many of the items carrying estimates under $1000, it is the perfect opportunity for buyers to purchase works by well-known Australian artists at a fraction of the price they would pay for paintings.
22 May
Kim's Auctions
The Pro Hart painting The Malley Races – exhibited at the 1975 Australian Bush Series Exhibition at the Australian High Commission in Hong Kong – is one of the more interesting highlights at Kim’s Auctions forthcoming sale from 11am Sunday May 22 at 327-329 Warrigal Road, Burwood.
The painting joins works by other renowned Australian artists – including Charles Blackman, Sidney Nolan, David Boyd, Ray Crooke, David Bromley, Evan Mackley and Wykeham Perry at the auction.

EJ Ainger
A 1960 self-portrait of Australian artist Ernest Buckmaster has been discovered as the backing for another of his paintings earmarked for auction at E.J. Ainger’s two-day special sale from 11am Saturday May 21 and Sunday May 22 at 433 Bridge Road, Richmond.
Discovered by the restorer who was busy cleaning the auction painting for Aingers (a seascape of Mentone – where Buckmaster lived during the 1930s and 1940s), the self-portrait has been fitted to a canvas, mounted in a beautiful period frame and also will be part of the sale.

Leonard Joel
Better known as an economist who from 1975 as a senior Department of Treasury member helped shape Australia’s economic future, Alan Boxer also was an inveterate art collector.
Born in Hong Kong in 1927 and educated in Melbourne, Boxer completed Economics degrees at both Melbourne and Oxford universities.
He became an Academy of Science fellow, was a University of Melbourne academic, Economics Record editor and the author of books on foreign aid, tax reforms and the Australian economy.

Leonard Joel
The 1853 “First Hunt Steeplechase Trophy” – offered for auction for the first time in 163 years – is a major highlight of Leonard Joel’s Asian Art, Classic Furniture & Objects auction from noon Sunday May 15 at 333 Malvern Road, South Yarra.
Ironically, the Leonard Joel’s sale takes place only a few blocks from where the trophy (won by colonial pioneer Alexander McLean Hunter’s horse Benedict) was originally presented – the former Prahran Course located in the precinct between what is now Toorak Road and Fawkner Park in Melbourne’s South Yarra.
