[online art auction __title__ Bid on Art at Online Auctions was Part II of the successful Lawson Menzies Aboriginal Fine Art auction that witnessed the breaking of the all time record for an Aboriginal artist and the highest price ever paid for an Australian female artist, with the Emily Kngwarreye's Earth's Creation being sold for $1,056,000 (including buyers premium).
Items sold online were targeted at investors wanting to acquire collectible works ranging from $10 to $25,000, at highly competitive prices. The works included paintings, water colours, artefacts, barks and other Indigenous items selected for their investment value and collectability.
Head of Aboriginal Art at Lawson-Menzies, Adrian Newstead: "The Lawson-Menzies online Aboriginal Art Auction capitalised on the global interest in affordable Aboriginal and investment art, backed by a strong brand name, such as Lawson-Menzies. The online auction provided typical features of a physical auction, such as viewing of items and access to Australia's leading Aboriginal Art specialists, and the assurance of authenticity of items being sold."
Head of LawsonsOnline, Andrew Bond: "This is believed to be the largest single vendor collection of art offered online in recent memory, far exceeding value expectations. The combination of an established Aboriginal Art brand name such as Lawson-Menzies and online sales assisted catering for an increasingly International art buyer base for investment Aboriginal Art."
