D+H ONLINE: WORKS FROM THE ESTATE OF JOHN BARNES

Deutscher and Hackett is pleased to present the second selection of important modern and contemporary works from the Estate of John Barnes.

This timed auction will be open for online bidding from Tuesday 10 September 2024. 

An avid collector of Australian art, Dr John Barnes began collecting in the early 80s. Very quickly, and guided by the best in the industry, the decorated Melbourne surgeon amassed a sizeable collection of quality pieces from the period's finest artists including many who'd headlined the acclaimed exhibition The Field in 1968 such as Robert Rooney, Peter Booth, David Aspden and Dale Hickey to name a few. This auction will showcase John Barnes' passion for modern works as well as his devotion to abstraction and minimalism in 26 lots.
