Cooee Art

A boutique curated offering of selected works of art. Cooee Art MarketPlace introduces its sixth bi-annual Australian Indigenous fine art Auction, the only multi-vendor live auction of its kind. The sale comprises 97 fine Australian Indigenous artworks, including works on canvas, bark paintings, and sculptures, created in regions throughout Australia from as early as the 1950s by artists of great renown. These artworks, ranging in value from $500 to $80,000, have been selected from over 20 national and international collections. The sale includes a small but extremely rare Wandjina bark by Alec Mingelmanganu (Lot 15), a superb large watercolour by Albert Namatjira (Lot 20), the largest work ever created by Balgo Hills artist Elizabeth Nyumi (Lot 48), a spectacular large painting by Peg Leg Tjampitjinpa (Lot 36), a range of early Arnhem Land bark paintings and sculptures, and Kimberley ochre works by Rover Thomas, Freddie Timms, Queenie McKenzie, Rammey Ramsey, Jack Dale, Lena Nyadbi, and others. Due to uncertainty surrounding lockdown restrictions there will be no preview night. All works will be on display at 326 Oxford Street, Paddington, and can be viewed by appointment. To book an appointment for a private one-on-one viewing with our auction specialists, simply select a preferred time. Cooee Art will be open Tuesday - Saturday 10-5pm. You can, however, book a one-on-one appointment with a specialist outside this time.

Terms & Conditions

Conditions of Sale This notice is addressed by Cooee Art MarketPlace to any person who may be interested in a Lot, including registered Bidders and potential Bidders (including any eventual Buyer of the Lot). 1. OUR ROLE In its role Cooee Art MarketPlace acts solely for and in the interests of the Seller. Our job is to sell the Lot at the highest price obtainable at the Sale to a Bidder. 2. DESCRIPTION OF GOODS The Seller and Cooee Art MarketPlace warrant that the goods are as described in the catalogue and that the seller has clear title to the works that they are offering for sale. 3. LOTS Lots are sold to the Buyer on an "as is" basis, with all faults and imperfections. It is your responsibility to examine any Lot in which you are interested. 4. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS AND ESTIMATES AND CONDITON Estimates are printed beside the Entry in the catalogue. They are an expression of Cooee Art MarketPlace's opinion of the range where Cooee Art MarketPlace thinks the Hammer Price for the Lot is likely to be; it is not an Estimate of value. In respect of most Lots, we will produce a Condition Report regarding the Lot's physical condition upon request. Cooee Art MarketPlace is not entering into a contract with you in respect of the Condition Report and accordingly does not assume responsibility to you in respect of it. Notwithstanding the aforementioned we undertake to prepare any Condition Report honestly, with integrity, and in good faith. 5. BIDDING We do not accept bids from any person who has not completed to our satisfaction the Registration and Bidding Form. In addition anyone intending to place bids by telephone must apply for and complete a Telephone Bidding Form before the Sale. If you intend to bid through a third-party site (on-line aggregator) you must register your intention to do so and warrant that the information you provide is true and accurate. In all cases you must provide proof of identity, and your intended method of payment. 6. REGISTRATION We may refuse entry and registration to our Website and our Sale and expressly reserve the right not to grant a Paddle to any applicant. 7. WINNING BIDS The Buyer will be the Bidder who makes the highest bid for any Lot providing this bid equals or exceeds the Reserve set prior to the sale by the seller as per their contract with Cooee Art Marketplace. 8. ADDITIONAL CHARGES A Buyer's Premium of 20% of the Hammer Price is payable on all lots. Collection and delivery is the responsibility of the buyer on lots. 9. TAX Goods and Service Tax will be charged only on the Buyer's Premium, save for cases where the artwork is owned by a GST registered entity (e.g. a registered company or superannuation fund). Artworks owned by GST registered entities will be displayed in the Sale Catalogue with a Dagger alongside the Lot Number. This symbol indicates that a work of art is subject to GST and therefore GST is applied to both the Hammer Price and the Buyer's Premium. 10. PAYMENT As a buyer you must ensure that you have readily available funds to pay the Purchase Price and the Buyer's Premium to us in full before making a bid for the Lot. If you are a successful Bidder, payment must be made no later than the end of the second working day after the Sale so that all sums are cleared by the seventh working day after the Sale. 11.
