INDIGENOUS FINE ART AUCTION

Welcome to this special Cooee Art MarketPlace Indigenous Fine Art offering for 2020. The sale will include 62 works from the collection of one of Aboriginal art’s greatest promoters and supporters, and former owner of the Aboriginal Gallery of Deamings, the incomparable Hank Ebes. The estimated value of the 107 works in this sale is $1,800,000 – 2,500,000 million. The cover lot is a highly desirable and rare Final Series work by Emily Kame Kngwarreye, only the second of the 20 works she created during the last weeks of her life to have ever been offered for public sale. Carrying a pre-sale estimate of $400,000-600,000, it is, in my own opinion, one of the crown jewels of Aboriginal art. But don’t take my word for it. Scattered throughout this catalogue are testimonials from some of the most highly respected curators in Australia to Emily’s genius. They all attest to the power, beauty and importance of this and other final series paintings. We look forward to hearing from you or seeing you in person in the lead up to the auction. The quality of the artworks on offer is exceptional and our buyer’s premium is only 20% - less than that of other auction houses.
