        Aug. 01, 2015

        Declan Apuatimi Tiwi Islands Aboriginal Bird Carving Circa 1978

        Est: $300 - $500

        Ironwood carving of a bird, it appears to be close to a Curlew. The carving is 50 cm high and the base of the carving has a diameter of 9cm. A striking carving painting with ochre. The bird is white with decoration in black, yellow, white and red/brown to wings. The base is painted red/brown. A label is attached to the work where on one side the artist's name is written in ink, 'Declan' along with a description of the piece 'carving of bird.' On the reverse side of the label there is a printed paragraph about Bathurst Island Art, 'This piece is an artefact produced by our own tribal artists. All designs and pieces are genuine and the ochres prepared from the areas, renowned for centuries.' The text continues to explain something of Tiwi art. The label appears to be from the 1970s.The vendor was given this work as a gift from a friend who visited Bathurst Island in the late 1970s. Declan Apuatimi was a Tiwi artist, born at Iminulapi in the north west of Bathurst Island in 1930, although his actual country was Munupi on the north west coast of Melville Island. Declan Apuatimis pioneering sculpture played a significant role in establishing Tiwi art in the market during the 1970s and early 1980s and most of Declan's works were collected after 1978. He died in 1985. His wife was well-known artist Jean Baptiste Apuatimi, and his son, also Declan Apuatimi is now also a prominent artist from the region. This piece is a very good example of one of his animal carvings in well-conserved condition and from a highly collectable period.

        Declan Apuatimi Tiwi Islands Aboriginal Bird Carving Circa 1978

        Est: $500 - $1,000

        Ironwood carving of a bird, it appears to be close to a Curlew. The carving is 50 cm high and the base of the carving has a diameter of 9cm. A striking carving painting with ochre. The bird is white with decoration in black, yellow, white and red/brown to wings. The base is painted red/brown. A label is attached to the work where on one side the artist's name is written in ink, 'Declan' along with a description of the piece 'carving of bird.' On the reverse side of the label there is a printed paragraph about Bathurst Island Art, 'This piece is an artefact produced by our own tribal artists. All designs and pieces are genuine and the ochres prepared from the areas, renowned for centuries.' The text continues to explain something of Tiwi art. The label appears to be from the 1970s.The vendor was given this work as a gift from a friend who visited Bathurst Island in the late 1970s. Declan Apuatimi was a Tiwi artist, born at Iminulapi in the north west of Bathurst Island in 1930, although his actual country was Munupi on the north west coast of Melville Island. Declan Apuatimi's pioneering sculpture played a significant role in establishing Tiwi art in the market during the 1970's and early 1980's and most of Declan's works were collected after 1978. He died in 1985. His wife was well-known artist Jean Baptiste Apuatimi, and his son, also Declan Apuatimi is now also a prominent artist from the region. This piece is a very good example of one of his animal carvings in well-conserved condition and from a highly collectable period.
