Description:DAVIDSON AUCTIONS' INTRODUCTION:
The late Ken Hinds (1944-2018) was a civil engineer who worked on major infrastructure projects both in Australia & overseas. His interest in collecting dated from the 1970s and continued right through until his death in 2018. He famously never sold any of his purchases, and Davidson Auctions has been engaged by the family to present to market his vast and diverse collection in a series of single owner sales, this being the first. Ken’s interest in fine art began with a focus on the works of Archibald, Sulman and Wynne Prize winners, and his collection came to embody something of a survey of 20th Century Australian art. The collection also has a strong mid-century ceramics component, reflecting social sensibilities of post-war Australia as expressed through the pottery of the day, 1950s and ‘60s decorative pieces that adorned most households, but also unique studio pottery examples by the Boyd family and John Perceval to name just a few, pieces which sought to bridge the divide between high and domestic art, fine and more decorative creations. There is much more to the Hinds collection than these two categories: a large and impressive ethnographic group; pokerwork, memorabilia and other miscellaneous examples of Australian social history; and one of Australia’s best toy collections – all of these to be presented as part of this auction series.
