Our First Goldie!


ART+OBJECT has consigned its first C. F Goldie. Entitled Ahinata te Rangitautini, the painting is a beauty and has wonderful provenance, belonging to the family of Sir George Fowlds, former Minister of Education and Public Health, who originally purchased the painting directly from Goldie soon after it was painted in 1909. Ahinata te Rangitautini will be offered in the November 27th Important Paintings and Sculpture auction with an estimate of $150 000 - $200 000, a catalogue which is shaping up as our best yet. Further suitable entries are now invited until late October.
