Auction Review: Important Paintings and Contemporary Art, Art + Object, Auckland, 27 March 2024..

By Briar Williams in Auckland on 2 April 2024 // Exclusive to the AASD

Two days following Art+Object’s sale of 6 works by Charles Frederick Goldie, we were back in their rooms for the Important Paintings and Contemporary Art sale in Auckland on 27 March 2024. The fewer attendees in the room for this sale, were bolstered by the presence of many of New Zealand’s art consultants, suggesting a strong offering from the auction house. Early lots sold well, and auctioneer Ben Plumbly moved the sale forward quickly and efficiently.

Auction Review: Six Paintings by Charles Frederick Goldie (1870 – 1947) from The Collection of Neil Graham ONZM (1943 – 2015), Art+Object, Auckland 25 March 2024

By Briar Williams in Auckland on 2 April 2024 // Exclusive to the AASD

Six paintings by Charles Frederick Goldie consigned from the estate of Christchurch collector and benefactor Neil Graham, were worthy of their own standalone sale, which took place on Monday 25 March, 2024 at Art + Object in Auckland. To include six works by the artist, whose prices are consistently some of the highest in the market was a risky strategy by the auction house, and it would be considered a high profile fail if the paintings didn’t sell.
