The second big corporate collection to go under the hammer this year goes on view in Melbourne from Thursday ahead of its highly anticipated auction next week. Superannuation fund Cbus is selling off its entire art collection across four auctions at Deutscher and Hackett, launching with the sale of 100 “highlights” next Wednesday night in Melbourne.
The “highlights auction” features Australia’s most celebrated artists, including Eugene von Guerard, Arthur Streeton, Arthur Boyd, Clarice Beckett, Sidney Nolan, Jeffrey Smart, Fred Williams, Margaret Preston, and an early painting by current art market sensation Cressida Campbell.
