Storrier and the sea

19 Jun 2012 0 comments

Tim Storrier is often associated with his 'fire' paintings. However he is also a brilliant painter of the ocean. We have three stunning Storrier sea paintings currently available which can be viewed in the Tim Storrier paintings section in the stockroom. These are ideally seen at a larger file size than we usually display on the website so please contact me and I can arrange to email larger images out individually.

Charles Blackman - The Orpheus Suite

9 Jun 2012 0 comments

Charles Blackman's 'The Orpheus Suite' was published as a set of limited edition, signed, hand-printed collagraphs from around 1998-2000. Several of the prints are now hard to find so I am very pleased to announce that I have a complete set available. The prints are available individually but I would also consider an offer for the complete set. Images of the prints for sale can be viewed in the 'Charles Blackman' section of the stockroom.

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

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
