ROBIN

Robin recently received in the mail an illustrated catalogue for an auction to be held at Menzies of 'IMPORTANT AUSTRALIAN & INTERNATIONAL FINE PAINTING & SCULPTURE'

Lot 48, Brett Whiteley's THE ORANGE TABLE of 1978, was familiar to him - he had in fact bought it when he represented Whiteley in the 70s, and had sold it on...

When it sold for $872,727.00 he decided to go through his records and found these great photos. They are of his collection while living in Paddington above the gallery when it was in Gurner Street - the first photo below is of his dining room with THE ORANGE TABLE hanging above an antique Chinese altar table
