Sydney Exhibition Continues - Important Australian Art
IMPORTANT AUSTRALIAN ART
The exhibition will be on view in Sydney from Friday 18 August – Wednesday 23 August, 10 am to 5 pm, at 30 Queen Street, Woollahra.
Among the highlights of the sale is Fred Williams’s magnificent Masons Falls (1981) (lot 23, estimate $2,000,000–3,000,000, pictured above).
Fred Williams’s ‘Waterfall’ compositions of 1979-1981 have long been acknowledged as one of the artist’s most accomplished, sustained and complex series; a body of work that finds its origins deeply embedded within the history and development of Australian art as well as fundamentally inspired by the astonishing qualities found within the Australian landscape itself.
We are particularly honoured to present the magisterial Masons Falls for public sale for the first time – a composition of exceptional quality, beauty and significance – created at the height of Williams’s powers as an artist and one of great influencers of his own and subsequent generations.
The auction will be held at the National Council of Jewish Women of Australia, 111 Queen Street, Woollahra at 6.30 pm on 23 August 2023.
