With no million-dollar estimate paintings at its March 27 Melbourne auction, Menzies is relying on the pulling power of iconic Australian artists Charles Blackman (1928-2018) and Brett Whiteley (1939-1992) to bring buyers through the doors of its recently renovated 1 Darling Street, South Yarra premises for a 6.30pm start.
Blackman’s Day Dream 1958 (lot 33) carries the auction’s highest catalogue estimate of $200,000-$250,000.
The painting is a key element of the artist’s Faces and Flowers series, completed at a time when he was at the peak of his early recognition and held in the same private collection since being acquired from Brisbane’s Johnstone Gallery more than 60 years ago.
The sale of the Mackley Estate Collection Part II will be offered this coming weekend via a live online Auction by Elder Fine Art in conjunction with Phillip Caldwell Auctions, Melbourne.
Evan Mackley, well known restauranteur, artist and collector was a local identity in Horsham and known for his vision, unique restaurant and warm hospitality throughout the Wimmera. His collection, amassed over 50 years, was a compliment to his taste with a particular love for Australian paintings, antiques and anything weird and wonderful that caught his eye. He was a great supporter of Australian artists, avidly collecting works by Charles Blackman, Robert Dickerson, William Ricketts, David Boyd, Pro Hart and Sidney Nolan, all of which are well represented in this estate collection.
