Twenty artworks from Ron Walker’s deceased estate to go under the hammer, along with seven Arthur Boyd paintings
The former Lord mayor of Melbourne Ron Walker was known for his billion dollar property deals, casino developments and a knack for snaring major sporting events such as the Grand Prix and Commonwealth Games.
“So that wonderful eye, that blue eye, is staring back not only at the artist but also back at us, the viewers.” It was one of several created on location, with the saturated colours lending the works an “extraordinary kind of filmic quality … almost like Technicolor celluloid,” Smith said.Smith said the tireless promotion and advocacy of Arthur Boyd was evident in the artist’s works going to auction on Wednesday.
