Description

CAROLINE DUKES (1929 - 2003), R.C.A.LANDSCAPE #27ACRYLIC ON CANVAS; SIGNED AND TITLED VERSO72" x 57" - 182.9 x 144.8 cm.Provenance:Purchased directly from the artistNote:CAROLINE DUKES (1929 - 2003), R.C.A."My work has undergone several transformations through the years. What might seem to be abrupt changes in retrospect was actually a slow evolution constituted by the successive works. Every beginning, a new project is marked with great anticipation, excitement and fear. I always have to overcome the last before I can give vent to the rest. Conviction is of utmost importance in whatever subject my work is about, be it a tree, a colour, a thought, or an idea. I am searching for its truth, its essence. . ."- Caroline Dukes - Caroline Dukes was born in 1929 in Ujpest, Hungary and lived there during the German occupation band under the Stalin Era. She began her training in Budapest, studying sculpture with Sigiesmund de Strobl at the Academy of Fine Arts. Dukes immigrated to Canada in 1958 with her husband and children, first to Toronto and then nine years later to Winnipeg. In 1968 Dukes entered the School of Art at the University of Manitoba, graduating in 1972. Within two years she had established her own studio, taught classes, and had her first solo exhibition at the Fleet Gallery in Winnipeg. She also received the "Highest Quality and Most Original Painting" Award at the Manitoba Society of Artists exhibition that same year. By the early 1980s she was quite active in the regional art world, during which time her painting hand changed dramatically from stylized abstract-like interiors to highly expressive and monumental gestural reflections of the innate energy of the natural world. In 1991 The Winnipeg Art Gallery mounted a solo exhibition of her work titled At the Focus of Forces and in 1996 her installation Remember...Relate...Retell was hosted by Plug In ICA.Dukes exhibited her work in both solo and group exhibitions across Canada and abroad, including shows in Jerusalem, Munich and Barcelona. Her work is represented in major collections world-wide, including the Budapest Museum of Fine Art, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Canada Council Art Bank, Manitoba Arts Council Art Bank, and the Princess Anne Collection. In 1994, she was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. Dukes passed away in 2003, leaving a remarkable body of work that dealt with memory, loss, tragedy, and the human spirit's amazing capacity to overcome. She was honoured posthumously with a 2008 solo retrospective, Concealed Memories, at the Winnipeg Art Gallery.Selected Corporate, Private and Public CollectionsAsper Jewish Community Centre, Winnipeg, ManitobaBudapest Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest, HungaryCanada Council Art Bank, Ottawa, ONCARA Operations Ltd, Mississauga, ONCKY-TV, Moffat Communications Ltd, Winnipeg, MBClaridge Collection, Montréal, QCComcheq Corporation, Winnipeg, MBEsso Resources CanadaGreat West Life Insurance Company, Winnipeg, MBGulf Canada Resources, Calgary, ABHewlett-PackardInter-City GasInvestors Group, Toronto, ONLoring Ward Investment Counsel Ltd.Manitoba Arts Council Visual Art Bank, Winnipeg, MBMusée des beaux-arts de Montréal, Montréal, QCNorman MacKenzie Art Gallery, Regina, SKNorth Dakota Museum of Art, Grand Forks, North DakotaPrincess Anne Collection, EnglandRobert McLaughlin Gallery, Oshawa, ONShell Canada, Calgary, ABSt John's College, Winnipeg, MBTaylor McCaffrey Chapman, Winnipeg, MBToronto-Dominion Bank, Toronto, ONUniversity of Winnipeg Art CollectionWinnipeg Art Gallery, Winnipeg, MBYad Vashem Art Museum, Jerusalem, IsraelSelected Solo Exhibitions2008Concealed Memories, Winnipeg Art Gallery, MB1998Cities, Gallery 1C03, University of Winnipeg, MB1996-92 Remember . . .

Terms & Conditions

All lots are sold "AS IS". Any description issued by the auctioneer of an article to be sold is subject to variation to be posted or announced verbally in the auction room prior to the time of sale. While the auctioneer has endeavoured not to mislead in the description issued, and the utmost care is taken to ensure the correct cataloguing of each item, such descriptions are purely statements of opinion and are not intended to constitute a representation to the prospective purchasers and no warranty of the correctness of such description is made. An opportunity for inspection of each article is offered prior to the time of sale. No sale will be set aside on account of lack of correspondence of the article with its description or its reproduction, if any, whether colour or black & white. Some lots are of an age and/or nature which preclude their being in pristine condition and some catalogue descriptions make reference to damage and/or restoration. The lack of such a reference does not imply that a lot is free from defects nor does any reference to certain defects imply the absence of others. Frames on artwork are not included as part of purchase or condition. It is the responsibility of prospective purchasers to inspect or have inspected each lot upon which they wish to bid, relying upon their own advisers, and to bid accordingly.

Each lot sold is subject to a premium of 20% of the successful bid price of each lot up to and including $50,000 and 15% on any amount in excess of $50,000 as part of the purchase price. Invaluable Live! clients will be charged a buyer's premium of 23% of the successful bid price of each lot up to and including $50,000 and 18% on any amount in excess of $50,000 as part of the total purchase price.

A charge of 13% HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) is applicable on the hammer price and buyer's premium, except for purchases exported from Canada. In the case where purchases are shipped out of the province of Ontario, the HST or GST (Goods and Services
Tax) is charged based on the tax status of that province.

The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot from sale at any time, to divide any lot or to combine any two or more lots at his sole discretion, all without notice.
The auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid and to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion. The auctioneer reserves the right not to accept and not to reject any bid. Without limitation, any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance over the previous bid may not be recognized.

Each lot may be subject to an unpublished reserve which may be changed at any time by agreement between the auctioneer and the consignor. The auctioneer may bid, or direct an employee to bid, on behalf of the consignor as agreed between them. In addition, the auctioneer may accept and submit absentee and telephone bids, to be executed by an employee of the auctioneer, pursuant to the instructions of prospective purchasers not in attendance at the sale.

The highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer for any lot shall be the buyer and such buyer shall forthwith assume full risk and responsibility for the lot and must comply with such other Conditions of Sale as may be applicable. If any dispute should arise between bidders the auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to designate the buyer or, at his option, to withdraw any disputed lot from the sale, or to re-offer it at the same or a subsequent sale. The auctioneer's decision in all cases shall be final.
Immediately after the purchase of a lot, the buyer shall pay or undertake to the satisfaction of the auctioneer with respect to payment of the whole or any part of the purchase price requested by the auctioneer, failing which the auctioneer in his sole discretion may cancel the sale, with or without re-offering the item for sale.
The buyer shall pay for all lots within 48 hours from the date of the sale, after which a late charge of 2% per month on the total invoice may be incurred or
the auctioneer, in his sole discretion, may cancel the sale. The buyer shall not become the owner of the lot until paid for in full. Items must be removed
within 10 days from the date of sale , after which storage charges may be incurred.

Each lot purchased, unless the sale is cancelled as above, shall be held by the auctioneer at his premises or at a public warehouse at the sole risk of the
buyer until fully paid for and taken away.

Notwithstanding condition no. 1, if the buyer, prior to removal of a lot, makes arrangements satisfactory to the auctioneer for the inspection of such lot by a fully qualified person acceptable to the auctioneer to determine the genuineness or authenticity of the lot, to be carried out promptly following the sale of the lot, and if, but only if, within a period of 14 days following the sale a written opinion of such person is presented to the auctioneer to the effect that the lot is not genuine or authentic, accompanied by a written request by the buyer for rescission of the sale, then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the sale price refunded to the buyer.

Payment for purchases must be by cash, INTERAC direct debit (Cdn clients in person only), certified cheque (U.S. & Overseas not applicable), travelers
cheque, bank draft, electronic transfer (fee applies), and VISA, Mastercard (up to $25,000). As Waddington's requires written
authorization for all credit card purchases, credit cards must be presented in person by the cardholder and therefore cannot be accepted over the
telephone. However, fax authorization arrangements can be made.

In the event of failure to pay for or remove articles within the aforementioned time limit, the auctioneer, without limitation of the rights of the consignor and the auctioneer against the buyer, may resell any of the articles affected, and in such case the original buyer shall be responsible to the auctioneer and the consignor for:
(a) any deficiency in price between the re-sale amount and the
amount to have been paid by the original buyer;
(b) any reasonable charge by the auctioneer for the storage of such
articles until payment and removal by the subsequent buyer; and
(c) the amount of commission which the auctioneer would have
earned had payment been made in full by the original buyer.

It is the responsibility of the buyer to make all arrangements for insuring, packing and removing the property purchased and any assistance by the
auctioneer or his servants, agents or contractors, in packing or removal shall be rendered as a courtesy and without any liability to them.

The auctioneer acts solely as agent for the consignor and makes no representation as to any attribute of, title to, or restriction affecting the articles consigned for sale. Without limitation, the buyer understands that any item bought may be affected by the provisions of the Cultural Property Export Act (Canada).
The auctioneer reserves the right to refuse admission to the sale or to refuse to recognize any or all bids from any particular person or persons at any auction.

or repair but as with the nature of the material, may show minor surface
wear, discolouration etc., which indicates the acceptable wear that the piece
may acquire with age. If you are particular about minor flaws, you should
examine the pieces in person or have our staff answer any questions before
bidding. Sizes are approximate. It is the sole responsibility of the bidder to
inquire as to the condition of a lot before bidding. Condition reports are
available upon request by phone, fax, email or in person. You are advised
