Rita Angus Breaks Record at Dunbar Sloane Sale

14/6/2019

Prices were high at what was billed as one of the last large art collection like this in private hands.  Noel & Margaret Dick began their collection in the late 1970s and became regulars at auction houses around New Zealand for the next few decades.  A market fresh sale is always beloved by collectors and institutions, and the bids reflected that. Lot 21 featured a favourite subject of Rita Angus - the Magnolia tree in her garden.  (I hear this tree is still there).  Estimated at $60,000 - $80,000 it fetched $175,000 + premium, beating the previous record for a work on paper by Angus by $75,000.  See Dunbar's website for the catalogue and results here.
