A collection of works on paper from the estate of Cherelle Hutchinson.

Cherelle was the wife of Max Hutchinson, founder of the avant garde Gallery A but most famous for selling Jackson Pollock's Blue Poles to the Australian Government in 1973. Terry Ingram of the Financial Review broke the story at the time.

Gallery A first opened in Hutchinson's furniture and industrial design showroom in Flinders Lane, Melbourne in 1959 before moving to South Yarra in 1962.  In 1964 he expanded, opening galleries in Sydney, Canberra and in 1968, New York. 

This remarkable collection of prints, dating from the 1960s–1970s, captures a transformative...

It is fair to say that Peter Trusler's paintings for the book Birds of Australian Gardens are revolutionary, and rank among the finest Australian natural history paintings ever done. He cleverly placed his subjects in urban, domestic and occasionally mundane environments, exactly where many of our native birds now live. 

These are the original watercolours for Birds of Australian Gardens and were part of the National Bank Collection of Modern Art from 1980 until 2022. 

We have joined forces with Andrew Isles Natural History Books in the promotion of these paintings

Jeff Ferris’ sharp-focus realist works have been remarkably popular at the Gallery ever since our first show back in 2008. Fans of fellow Australian artist, the late Jeffrey Smart, often remark that the striking style of Ferris’ pieces is reminiscent of Smart’s.  In fact, the pair used to share correspondence, and Smart was a great admirer of Ferris’, imploring in a 1983 letter that Ferris was “far too modest about [his] work.  The landscape is splendid with a marvelous mood to it and a really good sky…”.

As you'll appreciate from the following explanation by Ferris of his motivation for producing...

A selection of paintings, prints and photographs
acquired by Peter Brown over the last 60 years

illustrated  Lionel Lindsay,  Bacchanal 1925

Photographs  1972-2021

Peter Brown only ever uses a fixed lens and composes the image before he takes the shot. He doesn’t like cropping or excessive editing.  

From 1972 to 2000 he used a Nikkorrmat camera he bought in Singapore in 1972.  He switched to a Nikon FM2 with a 55 mm lens. In 2015 he changed to a Nikon D600.

They are all stamped and numbered 1/10 on reverse. The photographer will print additional images as required. Maximum 10.  

So Hurry!

Peter Brown adopts the philosophy that his art is a ‘journey of discovery’ taking him to all corners of the...

When I was a child my contented father showed me the mystery of painting with water-colors. It was revelatory the way in which he swished the red sable Windsor and Newton purest camel-hair or red sable brushes into a freshly rinsed Pura milk bottle and diluted my holiest colors such as Veridian Green and Alizaron Crimson and the most remarkable one of the whole spectrum - French Ultra Marine.

I sat so peacefully with him wherever I went, which was everywhere there was to go in Whittlesea, and I, at ten years of age would watch him blend in the...

I visited Mary recently and was rewarded with the opportunity to look through a box of drawings I hadn't seen before. Delighted, It took me an hour to select a collection to take away. Here they are.

25 unframed watercolours and drawings from between 1971-2015 depicting Melbourne life as observed by Mary Hammond while shopping in Richmond, Northcote or Fairfield and while watching the local golfers.

After watching a Masterclass by American interior decorator, Kelly Wearstler, we were inspired to put together a wall of small pictures. We have at least 300 in stock ....

In this selection there are 26 paintings, watercolours, drawings and etchings - a mosaic of colour, texture and subject. All favourites of ours.  If you don't want a whole collection of pictures, each of these would be just as happy on its own small wall.
