Est: $800 - $1,200
LINDY LEE (born 1954) Untitled c.1987 photocopy on paper 41.5 x 29cm (sheet); 54 x 41cm (frame) PROVENANCE: The Artist c.1987 Private collection, Victoria OTHER NOTES: "Lindy Lee is an important Australian artist who has been exploring the art of photocopying for a number of years. In the late 1980s early 1990s the photocopy took over as her predominant mode of art practice. During this period Lee took iconic images from the history of art and repeatedly copied them, at times obliterating the image with layers of carbon and paint. Lee regains the power of the original image that she copies, Invoking the process of peering through the layers of varnish and dust that coat these paintings in the original, Lee's photocopies endlessly replay the joy of discovering the first image."

LINDY LEE (born 1954) Untitled 1993 photocopy and acrylic on Stonehenge paper
Est: $700 - $900
LINDY LEE (born 1954) Untitled 1993 photocopy and acrylic on Stonehenge paper signed and dated verso: Lindy Lee 1993 (concealed) 42 x 29cm PROVENANCE: Private collection, Melbourne OTHER NOTES: "In 1983 Lee created her first 'photocopy' work, copying works from the Western canon until they were dark and illegible. She then further distorted the images by manipulating their scale and overpainting them in acrylic. These works explore ideas about originality and authenticity. As Lee states, 'repetition was about trying to be inside each moment of being … [it] has been a really important quality in my work since the very beginning'." (Anne O'Hehir, the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra) RELATED WORK: Lindy Lee, Translucent + Silent, 1993, photocopy and acrylic on Stonehenge paper, 7 panels (exhibited Lindy Lee: The Cloud of Unknowing, Roslyn Oxley9, 1993)

Earlier work, using photocopies of Old Master reproductions, was a complex mix, exploring concepts of 'belonging' to a Western art tradition; loss and redemption and painting as a practice of silence and embodiment."
