What a wonderful way to pass a night I attended the Deutscher ~ Menzies Fine Art Auction. With over 300 pieces going under the hammer.
Art collection is definitely going to be researched; it’s the fastest appreciating investment in Australia.
Collecting would be one expensive hobby / investment. The purchase price plus 20% buyer’s fee plus 10% GST.
I would only ever buy at auctions Robert Dickerson's in gallery's in Paddington are selling in excess of $19,000 and Lin Onus over and above $400,000
My favourites of the night:
Robert Dickerson - Sold $9,000
Woman in Blue
pastel on paper
75.0 x 54.5 cm
signed lower right: DICKERSON

Stupid quote for the night: Overheard the lady siting behind me
"They don't give you much time to think purchasing each piece"
IDIOT! There were 300 art works going for sale and wouldn't one think if they were going to be a buyer on the night they would know which piece they were going to buy and set the budget already? IDIOT!
