Or do I hope too much? kauri panels The quotation above concludes Don Binney’s text for the groundbreaking exhibition catalogue Earth/Earth at Barry Lett Galleries, Auckland in April 1971. Don Binney was one of five artists featuredin the exhibition, the others being Michael Illingworth, Colin McCahon, Michael Smither and Toss Woollaston. Each artist as well as Hamilton scientist Dr. R.H. Locker and University of Auckland Professor of Botany Francis Newhook contributed essays to the landmark catalogue for the exhibition. The theme of the exhibition was squarely addressed to ecological concerns, in particular deforestation and habitat loss for native species. These were consistent themes throughout Don Binney’s career as an artist and active supporter of numerous conservation causes. Elsewhere in the catalogue Binney makes a passionate case for conservation of our natural resources, ‘As I write, a filthy great pink-ochre proboscis of Waitakere clay is pushing further and further out into the old swamp which extends from Goldie’s Bush to Te Henga; from the Black Bridge to Taumaiti. The whole watertable which has given sustenance to the Bittern, Hawk and Fernbird, whose profile I have frequently placed in my paintings, and which has survived effectively for some hundreds of years… is now subject to the compulsory and barbarous modifications of one landholder.’ Elsewhere he writes, ‘New Zealand’s remote and isolated ecology was one of the most sensitive and integral in the world. Remarkably specialised birds filled the roles more usually occupied by mammalians elsewhere. Their whole existence was reciprocal to a delicate and specialised forest system.’ This catalogue provides a rare opportunity to see Binney’s concerns so clearly articulated on canvas. The three major works from the period 1965–1970 are ample illustration of Binney’s lifelong love for our native bird species and his deep attachment to the West Coast of Auckland and in particular Te Henga which provides the location for these iconic scenes. Gregory O’Brien has written an insightful essay on the three works and Binney’s lyrical response to his subjects, the Te Henga location and the unique set of spiritual and environmental inputs into his artistic world view. ART+OBJECT would like to thank Philippa Binney for allowing us to reproduce the cover image of the artist and for her assistance in providing access the artist’s archive for research purposes when preparing this catalogue.

In particular we are proud to offer an excellent collection of New Zealand photography from a private collector together with many other interesting consignments. Since returning to the office in May we have completed two auctions that had been on hold since April. Both of these events were remarkably successful and we would like to warmly thank our vendors who remained patient during the lockdown and all those who supported us at the viewings and attended the auctions, whether on-line at home or in person. It is extremely heartening to see that even in the most tumultuous of times, there is still a desire for art in our lives. During the recent lockdown period, like many I agreed with the slogans that suggested we should send 2020 back to where it came from. If only we could rewind and start again! The effect on businesses and families, the many disappointments of cancelled events and travel, will be felt for some time to come.

    ART + OBJECT 2017 has undoubtedly been a dynamic year at Art+Object, as well as for the wider New Zealand art world. We are fortunate to be part of a healthy, thriving arts community that really does offer something for everyone, across a variety of art forms. This year, along with our usual catalogues of Important Paintings and Contemporary Art, New Collectors, Decorative Arts and Rare Books, we have been favoured with the sale of some fabulous private collections. Visionary collectors like Anne Coney and Glenn Schaeffer, in taking the brave decision to sell their collections at auction, provide viewers with a wonderful opportunity to admire and acquire. Thank you to everyone who has taken part in our auction program this year, we put real effort into making our auction videos, organising talks and events and we love it when you watch on-line, or come along to viewings and auctions. Our talk with collector Glenn Schaeffer in October was given to a packed house, with a large number of interested collectors attending to hear from Mr Schaeffer, a significant international art collector. The year cannot pass without making mention of the wonderful success of the Estate of Michael Illingworth auction. The enthusiasm shown by the market for work by this legendary artist was unprecedented, resulting in one of the most successful auctions in our ten year history. We have enjoyed working with a number of brand partners this year. We’ve been serving freshly brewed Allpress coffee at our weekend viewings, which was particularly well-received on cold wintry viewing days, and it certainly feels like we’ve had plenty of those this year.

Cover: lot 256, Dennis Knight Turner, Exhibition Thoughts on the Bev & Murray Gow Collection from John Gow and Ben Plumbly I remember vividly when I was twelve years old, hopping in the car with Dad, heading down the dusty rural Te Miro Road to Cambridge to meet the train from Auckland. There was a special package on this train, a painting that my parents had bought and I recall the ceremony of unwrapping and Mum and Dad’s obvious delight, but being completely perplexed by this ‘artwork’. Now I look at the Woollaston watercolour and think how farsighted they were. Dad’s love of art was fostered at Auckland University through meeting Diane McKegg (nee Henderson), the daughter of Louise Henderson. As a student he subsequently bought his first painting from Louise, an oil on paper, Rooftops Newmarket. After marrying Beverley South, their mutual interest in the arts ensured the collection’s growth. They visited exhibitions in the Waikato and Auckland and because Mother was a soprano soloist, and a member of the Hamilton Civic Bev and Murray Gow Choir, concert trips to Auckland, Tauranga, New Plymouth, Gisborne and other centres were in their Orakei home involved.
