<strong>The</strong> <strong>Alison</strong> <strong>Kelly</strong> <strong>Collection</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Indigenous</strong> <strong>Art</strong><br />

We are delighted to present these works from<br />

the <strong>Alison</strong> <strong>Kelly</strong> <strong>Collection</strong>, which comprise<br />

a compelling myriad <strong>of</strong> paintings, barks and<br />

Lorrkon, works on paper, and prints showcasing<br />

traditional and contemporary Aboriginal<br />

art. Spanning the Kimberley, Arnhem Land,<br />

Central Desert and the Tiwi Islands, they<br />

feature a substantial component <strong>of</strong> leading<br />

female artists, including two notable paintings<br />

from Emily Kame Kngwarreye; a selection <strong>of</strong><br />

works by Marie Josette Orsto and her mother,<br />

Jean Baptiste Apuatimi, both prominent Tiwi<br />

Design artists; energetic examples <strong>of</strong> Minnie<br />

Pwerle and Makinti Napanangka's paintings<br />

and dynamic work by the celebrated Spinifex<br />

women's collaboration. <strong>The</strong>se works confirm<br />

<strong>Alison</strong>’s deep understanding and respect for<br />

<strong>Indigenous</strong> culture; and showcase her passion<br />

and cultivated expertise in the field.<br />

<strong>Alison</strong> developed a keen interest in Aboriginal<br />

art during her studies in <strong>Art</strong> History at Latrobe<br />

University. After graduation in 1994, she<br />

secured a role in a bustling city art gallery and<br />

volunteered as a guide at the National Gallery<br />

<strong>of</strong> Victoria. Her exposure to the art world and<br />

family encouragement inspired her to establish a<br />

gallery promoting and supporting Aboriginal-led<br />

art centres and their artists. <strong>The</strong> gallery's ethos<br />

was rooted in carefully and thoughtfully selecting<br />

works. <strong>Alison</strong> nurtured close relationships with<br />

the Aboriginal-owned art centres, making<br />

periodic trips to the Western Desert, Utopia,<br />

Papunya Tula, Balgo Hills and the Tiwi Islands.<br />

Through her travels to the many central and<br />

remote Aboriginal-run centres, <strong>Alison</strong> recalls<br />

the fondness and awe evoked by journeying to<br />

these <strong>of</strong>ten marginal communities, engaging<br />

with the artists— perceptive <strong>of</strong> what a great<br />

privilege it was to meet them and witness<br />

their creativity firsthand.<br />

"So much <strong>of</strong> the content <strong>of</strong> the paintings is not<br />

for us to know about because it is to do with<br />

Aboriginal traditions and their ceremonial myths<br />

and legends," <strong>Alison</strong> says. "To just know a little<br />

bit about the culture, where the paintings might<br />

come from, and how they relate to these stories<br />

enthrals people. <strong>The</strong>n people just love it.<br />

I suppose that is what happened to me."<br />

A distinguished selection <strong>of</strong> prints in the sale<br />

(lots 94–110) illustrates <strong>Alison</strong>'s commitment<br />

to championing the <strong>of</strong>t-underrated practice <strong>of</strong><br />

printmaking which exposed artists to a medium<br />

that would allow them to reach a broader<br />

audience across Australia and internationally.<br />

One notable achievement is the celebrated suite<br />

Custodians: Country and Culture, co-published<br />

with printmaker Basil Hall and with Rose and<br />

Angus Cameron from Nomad <strong>Art</strong> in Darwin.<br />

An edition <strong>of</strong> this suite was acquired by the<br />

British Museum in 2009, and another edition is<br />

part <strong>of</strong> the collection <strong>of</strong> the Federal Parliament.<br />

Select works from this suite were included in the<br />

exhibition Out <strong>of</strong> Australia – Prints and Drawings<br />

from Sidney Nolan to Rover Thomas, held in May<br />

2011. This sale provides an exquisite collection<br />

<strong>of</strong> prints that serve as a further example <strong>of</strong> the<br />

talents <strong>of</strong> artists traditionally recognised for their<br />

paintings by demonstrating their exceptional<br />

skill in this timeless medium.<br />

As a private and pr<strong>of</strong>essional figure in the<br />

contemporary Aboriginal art scene, <strong>Alison</strong> <strong>Kelly</strong><br />

has made a meaningful impact by collecting<br />

and placing artworks in private collections with<br />

integrity and donating several works to public<br />

spaces, such as the National Gallery <strong>of</strong> Victoria.<br />

This collection encompasses paintings, barks<br />

and works on paper from across Australia by<br />

prominent and sought-after <strong>Indigenous</strong> artists,<br />

respectfully sourced and carefully selected to<br />

appeal to every tier <strong>of</strong> collector.

2. Gibson’s Auctioneers<br />

& Valuers as Agent<br />

Except as otherwise stated Gibson's acts as agent<br />

for the Seller.<br />

<strong>The</strong> contract for the Sale <strong>of</strong> the property is therefore<br />

made between the Seller and the Buyer.<br />

3. Before the Sale<br />

A) EXAMINATION OF PROPERTY<br />

Prospective Buyers are strongly advised to examine<br />

in person any property in which they are interested<br />

before the Auction takes place. Neither Gibson's<br />

nor the Seller provides any guarantee in relation to<br />

the nature <strong>of</strong> the property apart from the Limited<br />

Warranty in the paragraph below. <strong>The</strong> property is<br />

otherwise sold “as is”.<br />

B) CATALOGUE AND OTHER DESCRIPTIONS<br />

All statements by Gibson's in the catalogue entry<br />

for the property or in the condition report, or made<br />

orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements <strong>of</strong><br />

opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements<br />

<strong>of</strong> fact. Such statements do not constitute a<br />

representation, warranty or assumption <strong>of</strong> liability<br />

by Gibson's <strong>of</strong> any kind. References in the catalogue<br />

entry to the condition report, including damage<br />

or restoration are for guidance only and should be<br />

evaluated by personal inspection by the Bidder or<br />

a knowledgeable representative. <strong>The</strong> absence <strong>of</strong><br />

such a reference does not imply that an item is free<br />

from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to<br />

particular defects imply the absence <strong>of</strong> any others.<br />

Estimates <strong>of</strong> the selling price should not be relied<br />

on as a statement that this is the price at which<br />

the item will sell or its value for any other purpose.<br />

Neither Gibson's nor the Seller is responsible for<br />

any errors or omissions in the catalogue or any<br />

supplemental material.<br />

Images are measured height by width. Illustrations<br />

are provided only as a guide and should not be relied<br />

upon as a true representation <strong>of</strong> colour or condition.<br />

Images are not shown at a standard scale. Mention<br />

is rarely made <strong>of</strong> frames (which may be provided as<br />

supplementary images on the website) which do<br />

not form part <strong>of</strong> the Lot as described in the printed<br />

catalogue.<br />

All transactions are in Australian Dollars so there<br />

may be a small exchange rate risk, for international<br />

Buyers. <strong>The</strong> costs associated with acquiring a goods<br />

certificate will be borne by the Buyer. If the item<br />

turns out to be a Forgery or otherwise incorrectly<br />

described, all reasonable costs will be borne by<br />

the Seller.<br />

C) BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY<br />

All property is sold “as is” without representation<br />

or warranty <strong>of</strong> any kind by Gibson's or the Seller.<br />

Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves<br />

concerning the condition <strong>of</strong> the property and the<br />

matters referred to in the catalogue by requesting a<br />

condition report.<br />

4. At the Sale<br />

A) REFUSAL OF ADMISSION<br />

Gibson's reserves the right at our complete<br />

discretion to refuse admission to the Auction<br />

premises or participation in any Auction and to<br />

reject any Bid.<br />

B) REGISTRATION BEFORE BIDDING<br />

Any new Prospective Buyer must complete and<br />

sign a registration form and provide photographic<br />

identification before Bidding. Gibson's may<br />

request bank, trade or other financial references to<br />

substantiate this registration.<br />

C) BIDDING AS A PRINCIPAL<br />

When making a Bid, a Bidder is accepting personal<br />

liability to pay the purchase price including the<br />

Buyer's Premium and all applicable taxes, plus<br />

all other applicable charges, unless it has been<br />

explicitly agreed in writing with Gibson's before<br />

the commencement <strong>of</strong> the Sale that the Bidder is<br />

acting as agent on behalf <strong>of</strong> an identified third party<br />

acceptable to Gibson's and that Gibson's will only<br />

look to the principal for payment.<br />

D) INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATIONS<br />

All international clients not known to Gibson's will<br />

be required to scan or fax through an accredited<br />

form <strong>of</strong> photo identification and pay a deposit at our<br />

discretion in cleared funds into Gibson's account<br />

at least 48 hours before the commencement <strong>of</strong><br />

the Auction. Bids will not be accepted without<br />

this deposit. Gibson's also reserves the right to<br />

request any additional forms <strong>of</strong> identification prior<br />

to registering an overseas Bid. This deposit can be<br />

made using a credit card, however the balance <strong>of</strong><br />

any purchase price in excess <strong>of</strong> $5,000 cannot be<br />

charged to this card without prior arrangement. This<br />

deposit is redeemable against any Auction purchase.<br />

E) ABSENTEE BIDS<br />

Gibson's will use reasonable efforts to execute<br />

written Bids delivered to us at least 24 hours prior<br />

to the Sale for the convenience <strong>of</strong> those clients<br />

who are unable to attend the Auction in person.<br />

If Gibson's receives identical written Bids on a<br />

particular Lot, and at the Auction these are the<br />

highest Bids on that Lot, then the Lot will be sold<br />

to the person whose written Bid was received and<br />

accepted first. Execution <strong>of</strong> written Bids is a free<br />

service undertaken subject to other commitments<br />

at the time <strong>of</strong> the Sale and we do not accept liability<br />

for failing to execute a written Bid or for errors<br />

or omissions which may arise. It is the Bidder’s<br />

responsibility to check with Gibson's after the<br />

Auction if they were successful. Unlimited or<br />

“Buy” Bids will not be accepted. Please refer to our<br />

indicative Bidding increments below for appropriate<br />

absentee Bid amounts (Section K).<br />

F) TELEPHONE BIDS<br />

Priority will be given to overseas and interstate<br />

Bidders. Arrangements for this service must be<br />

confirmed at least 24 hours prior to the Auction<br />

commencing. Gibson's accepts no responsibility<br />

whatsoever for any errors or failure to execute Bids.<br />

In telephone Bidding the Buyer agrees to be bound<br />

by all terms and conditions listed here and accepts<br />

that Gibson's cannot be held responsible for any<br />

miscommunications in the process. <strong>The</strong> success<br />

<strong>of</strong> telephone Bidding cannot be guaranteed due to<br />

circumstances that are unforeseen. Buyers should<br />

be aware <strong>of</strong> the risk and accept the consequences<br />

should contact be unsuccessful at the time <strong>of</strong><br />

Auction. You must advise Gibson's <strong>of</strong> the Lots in<br />

question and recommend a ‘Cover Bid’ amount<br />

should there be any issues with technology or<br />

communication via the telephone number provided.<br />

Gibson's will advise Telephone Bidders who have<br />

registered at least 24 hours before the Auction <strong>of</strong><br />

any relevant changes to descriptions, withdrawals or<br />

any other Sale room notices.<br />

G) ONLINE BIDDING<br />

Gibson's accepts no responsibility for any<br />

errors, failure to execute Bids or any other<br />

miscommunications regarding this process. It is the<br />

online Bidder’s responsibility to ensure the accuracy<br />

<strong>of</strong> the relevant information regarding Bids, Lot<br />

numbers and contact details.


71<br />

H) RESERVES<br />

Unless otherwise indicated, all Lots are <strong>of</strong>fered<br />

subject to a Reserve, which is the confidential<br />

minimum price below which the Lot will not be<br />

sold. <strong>The</strong> Reserve will not exceed the low estimate<br />

printed in the catalogue. <strong>The</strong> Auctioneer may open<br />

the Bidding on any Lot below the Reserve by placing<br />

a Bid on behalf <strong>of</strong> the Seller. <strong>The</strong> Auctioneer may<br />

continue to Bid on behalf <strong>of</strong> Seller up to the amount<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Reserve, either by placing consecutive Bids or<br />

by placing Bids in response to other Bidders.<br />

I) AUCTIONEER'S DISCRETION<br />

<strong>The</strong> Auctioneer has the right at his absolute and<br />

sole discretion to refuse any Bid, to advance the<br />

Bidding in such a manner as he may decide, to<br />

withdraw or divide any Lot, to combine any two or<br />

more Lots and, in the case or error or dispute and<br />

whether during or after the Sale, to determine the<br />

successful Bidder, to continue the Bidding, to cancel<br />

the Sale or to re-<strong>of</strong>fer and resell the item in dispute.<br />

In the event <strong>of</strong> a dispute, or the Auctioneer or the<br />

Company is <strong>of</strong> the opinion that there has been a<br />

misunderstanding or mistake regarding a Sale or a<br />

Lot the subject <strong>of</strong> a Sale, the Auctioneer may rescind<br />

the Sale and put any Lot up for a Second Auction. If<br />

a Sale is rescinded, the Company may put the Lot up<br />

at a second Auction, <strong>of</strong>fer the Lot for sale by private<br />

treaty or withdraw the Lot from sale entirely.<br />

J) SUCCESSFUL BID AND PASSING OF RISK<br />

Subject to the Auctioneer’s discretion, on the<br />

acceptance <strong>of</strong> a Bid by the fall <strong>of</strong> the Auctioneer's<br />

hammer, a contract <strong>of</strong> sale is made between the<br />

Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the<br />

Lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes<br />

immediately to the Buyer. Gibson's shall not be liable<br />

for any breach <strong>of</strong> contract by either the Seller or<br />

the Buyer.<br />

K) INDICATIVE BIDDING STEPS, ETC.<br />

any Lot and to advance the Bidding according to<br />

the following:<br />

<strong>The</strong> Buyer will not acquire title for the Lot until<br />

D) COLLECTION OF PURCHASES & INSURANCE<br />

Gibson's is entitled to retain items sold until all<br />

amounts due to us have been received in full in good<br />

cleared funds. Subject to this, the Buyer shall collect<br />

purchased Lots within three (3) days from the date <strong>of</strong><br />

the Sale unless otherwise agreed in writing between<br />

Gibson's and the Buyer.<br />

At the fall <strong>of</strong> the hammer, insurance is the<br />

responsibility <strong>of</strong> the purchaser.<br />

E) PACKING, HANDLING AND SHIPPING<br />

At the request <strong>of</strong> the Buyer, Gibson's may assist with<br />

packing <strong>of</strong> goods but takes no responsibility for loss,<br />

damage or breakage that may occur. Gibson's at<br />

the request <strong>of</strong> the Buyer may arrange for a carrier,<br />

packer or shipper to have the property packed,<br />

insured and shipped at the Buyer’s expense. All<br />

packing, shipping, insurance, postage & associated<br />

charges will be borne by the purchaser. Gibson's can<br />

assist with removal companies that the Buyer can<br />

use but takes no responsibility whatsoever for the<br />

actions <strong>of</strong> any recommended third party.<br />

F) CULTURAL HERITAGE EXPORT LICENCES<br />

Unless otherwise agreed by Gibson's in writing, the<br />

fact that the Buyer wishes to apply for an export<br />

licence does not affect their obligation to make full<br />

payment immediately, nor Gibson's right to charge<br />

interest or storage charges on late payment. It is<br />

the responsibility <strong>of</strong> the Buyer to check Australia’s<br />

Protection <strong>of</strong> Moveable Cultural Heritage Act<br />

1986 prior to purchase. Export/import licences<br />

applications are the responsibility <strong>of</strong> the Buyer and/<br />

or the Buyer's nominated shipper. Gibson's shall<br />

not be obliged to rescind a Sale nor to refund any<br />

expenses incurred by the Buyer in circumstances<br />

where an export licence is not granted.<br />

G) REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT<br />

If the Buyer fails to make full payment immediately,<br />

Gibson's is entitled to exercise one or more <strong>of</strong> the<br />

following rights or remedies (in addition to asserting<br />

any other rights or remedies available under the law)<br />

i) to charge interest at the ANZ visa credit card<br />

rate as published weekly in the Australian<br />

Financial Review;<br />

ii)<br />

iii)<br />

iv)<br />

to hold the defaulting Buyer liable for the<br />

total amount due and to commence legal<br />

proceedings for its recovery along with interest,<br />

legal fees and costs to the fullest extent<br />

permitted under applicable law;<br />

to cancel the Sale;<br />

to resell the property publicly or privately on<br />

such terms as the Company sees fit;<br />

v) to pay the Seller an amount up to the net<br />

proceeds payable in respect <strong>of</strong> the amount Bid<br />

by the defaulting Buyer. In these circumstances<br />

the defaulting Buyer can have no claim upon<br />

Gibson's in the event that the Lot(s) are sold for<br />

an amount greater than the original invoiced<br />

amount;<br />

vi)<br />

to <strong>of</strong>fset against any amounts which<br />

Gibson's may owe the Buyer across any other<br />

transactions;<br />

viii) to reject at any future Auction any Bids made by<br />

or on behalf <strong>of</strong> the Buyer or to obtain a deposit<br />

from the Buyer prior to accepting any Bids;<br />

ix)<br />

to exercise all the rights and remedies <strong>of</strong> a<br />

person holding security over any property in<br />

our possession owned by the Buyer whether by<br />

way <strong>of</strong> pledge, security interest or in any other<br />

way, to the fullest extent permitted by the law<br />

<strong>of</strong> the place where such property is located.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Buyer will be deemed to have been granted<br />

such security to us and we may retain such<br />

property as collateral security for such Buyer’s<br />

obligations to the Company;<br />

x) to take such other action as the Company<br />

deems necessary or appropriate.<br />

H) FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES<br />

Where purchases are not collected within three (3)<br />

days from the Sale date, whether or not payment has<br />

been made, the Company shall be permitted to:<br />

i) remove, store and further insure the Lot at the<br />

expense <strong>of</strong> the Buyer, releasing only after full<br />

payment has been received from the Buyer for<br />

incurred costs;<br />

ii)<br />

iii)<br />

re-sell the Lot without Reserve by Auction,<br />

private treaty or any other means whereby the<br />

Buyer agrees not to challenge the resale price<br />

achieved.<br />

15. Jewels & Watches<br />

GEMSTONES<br />

Gemstones have historically been subjected to a<br />

variety <strong>of</strong> treatments to enhance their appearance.<br />

Sapphire and rubies are routinely heat treated to<br />

improve their colour and clarity, similarly emeralds<br />

are frequently treated with oils or resin for the<br />

same purpose. Other treatments such as staining<br />

or dyeing, irradiation, filling or coating may have<br />

been used on other precious and semi-precious<br />

gemstones and organic material. <strong>The</strong>se treatments<br />

may be permanent, whilst others may need special<br />

care to reserve their appearance. Buyers should<br />

assume that each Lot has been subject to some<br />

form <strong>of</strong> treatment and that the estimates reflect this.<br />

A number <strong>of</strong> laboratories issue certificates that give<br />

detailed descriptions <strong>of</strong> gemstones, and in the event<br />

that Gibson's has been supplied with or obtained<br />

certificates for any Lot, this shall be noted in the<br />

catalogue. However, as there may not be consensus<br />

between different laboratories on the degree, or<br />

types <strong>of</strong> treatment <strong>of</strong> the gemstones, Gibson's<br />

supplies these without warranty.<br />

Buyers should assume that all gemstones sold<br />

by Gibson's may have been subjected to such<br />

treatments, and that the catalogue estimates<br />

reflect this.<br />

PEARLS<br />

Pearls, like gemstones, are also subject to various<br />

treatments. Buyers should assume that any pearls<br />

sold by Gibson's may have been subjected to such<br />

treatments, and that the catalogue estimates<br />

reflect this.<br />

WATCHES<br />

Please note: All watches sold by Gibson's are sold on<br />

an “as is” basis. Gibson's makes no representation<br />

or warranty that any watch is in working order. Many<br />

watches have been repaired over their lifetime and<br />

may contain non-original parts. <strong>The</strong> absence <strong>of</strong> any<br />

reference to the condition <strong>of</strong> a watch does not imply<br />

that the Lot is in good condition and without defects,<br />

repairs or restorations. Buyers should be aware that<br />

a general service, change <strong>of</strong> battery or further repair<br />

work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible for,<br />

may be necessary.<br />

ESTIMATED WEIGHTS<br />

If a stone has a known weight, it has been weighed<br />

out <strong>of</strong> the mount. If a stone has an estimated weight,<br />

it is an approximate weight only and has been<br />

measured by us in the mount and is a statement <strong>of</strong><br />

opinion only. <strong>The</strong> information is given as a guide only<br />

and Buyers should satisfy themselves with regard to<br />

this information as to its accuracy.
