July 2024 Timed Sale
Thursday, 4 - Sunday, 14 July 2024

Bidding for this sale is now open. It runs for 10 days before starting to close in batches of 5 lots, two minutes apart, from 6pm on Sunday July 14. We have grouped all entries into one of seven categories as under: Watercolours Oil paintings Acrylic paintings Works on paper Photographs Print & Graphics (all types*) Other types of art * Prints include Screen prints, Engravings, Etchings, Woodcuts, Silkscreen, Canvas prints, Giclee prints, Lithoprints (19th & 20th Cent.) This sale includes a fine selection of 19th Century engravings, matted and ready for framing with modest estimates, lower than international prices. The sale is DIVIDED into two parts: Part 1: Lots 001-338 consist of all NEW entries which have not been seen at auction before and follow the grouping order above – Watercolours, Oil paintings, Acrylic paintings, etc.. There is no lot 339 or 340. Part 2: Lots 341 onwards consist of stock that has previously been offered just once before and failed to sell. Again, these items follow the same order - Watercolours, Oil paintings, Acrylic paintings, etc. A recently added feature to our sales is that when you click on the auction link you will see a new heading called CATEGORIES, next to the VIEW AUCTION heading. Click on this, and all entries will automatically be grouped into their categories. You can also click on the various categories which are listed under the scroll bar. BIDDING: If you bid on an item and you get the response RESERVE NOT MET you can continue to increase your bid by simply clicking on the bid button until you reach the reserve. Once you see the message RESERVE MET you can stop bidding knowing that you will have won the item unless you are outbid by someone else. When this happens you will be automatically sent an email. In the closing minutes of the auction you should monitor the sale online as an email notification is unlikely to reach you in time. DELIVERY: Finally, a word on delivery for those who are new to our site. If you are not able to collect your purchases we continue to offer an inhouse packing/courier service on most small to medium sized artworks. Large or valuable works will need professional packing. Call for details. We can also deliver to a number of North Island towns at attractive rates without the need for special packing. So long as you are able to collect from me in Central Auckland (Ponsonby Road, early afternoon) I can bring your purchases with me to Auckland on my next trip (early August) and to Hutt Valley/Wellington towards the end of July. We can also deliver to Taranaki / Manawatu and Hawkes Bay over the next 5-8 weeks, Prices for this service are invariably cheaper than courier. I wish you successful bidding. Best regards, Henry Newrick Director
