Seeing a new Leunig work is such a 'near-life experience' - what a beautiful painting. I'm off to buy a Lotto ticket...

Some Feedback...

Dear Justin,

Thank you so much for your wonderful support in getting 'The Encounter' to my husband for his 60th birthday. Ian has long been a devoted fan of Michael Leunig and he was delighted!

Your patience and your attention to detail were just superb throughout the entire process.

My sincere appreciation.

Michele

Dear Justin,

I am looking to purchase a small Olsen etching or artists proof in the range of $1000-$1600.

There are a few in your stockroom I'm interested in but I would love the ballpark prices so i know what I can expect to pay.

I would appreciate it if you could assist me.

In addition, I'm based in Melbourne and would like to know where the artwork is sent from/collected should I purchase.

Thank you kindly,
Bernadette

I would like to get hold of a large copy of Leunig's "Born Loser" cartoon. I love the irony of that one and it is possibly my favourite of all Leunig's works.

Lloyd Rees 'The Red Field'

6 Oct 2010 4 comments

We have a superb Lloyd Rees painting that is new to stock. 'The Red Field' has been in a private family collection for more than 50 years. We have estimated that Lloyd Rees painted this work circa 1947. Collectors familar with the Rees painting 'The Road to Berry' which is in the collection of the AGNSW may find some similarity between that work and 'The Red Field' - in particular the use of curvilinear lines to segment space in the landscape. Please call or e-mail us if you have any questions about this painting or if you would like to see an image of the work in its frame.

Hi Justin,
I have been collecting limited edition prints from Australian artists for 10 years and was most active from 1997 to 2003. I have more than 20 Leunig prints, many of my favourites have been framed but I still have some (also love them) but am concerned about storing them in humid Singapore. Would be keen to explore.

Hi Lisa
