Eva Breuer among Australia's great dealers - collection goes to auction
Eva Breuer’s private collection of 76 paintings is among Menzies highlights for its auction from 6.30pm Thursday March 26 at Menzies Gallery 12 Todman Avenue, Kensington in Sydney.

Landmark Australian artist's studio works go to auction
A landmark Australian artist, Elizabeth Durack was born 100 years ago this year and died in 2000.
She was born into one of the pastoral families that opened up the Kimberley region of Western Australia during the 19th century – and was heavily influenced in her artistic development by Aboriginal cave paintings she saw as a girl and by the rituals and ceremonies of the oldest culture on earth.
Despite attending Loreto Convent and studying art at Chelsea Polytechnic in London in 1936, these influences never left her.
