Geraldine Berkemeier’s Studio Sale

September 8, 2019 by Anthea Boesenberg Leave a Comment

AN INVITATION FROM PAUL BERKEMEIER TO THE SALE OF ART MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT FROM GERALDINE’S STUDIO.

SATURDAY 5th OCTOBER 12PM TO 4PM

Geraldine was a passionate artist and teacher, skilled in a variety of media. She remained active in her art making until a few years ago when dementia took hold.

Geraldine would have wanted all her materials and equipment to find good new homes, where they can continue to be used to create innovative work for years to come.

With this in mind I plan an open day and sale at Cremorne Point so that colleagues, friends and interested artists can have a good look at the range of items available

and purchase what they need. The plan is to use proceeds of the sale to help prepare a comprehensive record and exhibition of Geraldine’s work.

THE DETAILS

WHEN Saturday 5th October 2019 from 12 midday till 4pm

WHERE Paul & Geraldine’s house at 67 Milson Road Cremorne Point.

WHAT See the illustrated list of materials and equipment – plus stacks of printmaking papers and other sundry items.

HOW Small items, paper etc will have price estimates and will be sold at prices agreed with Paul.

Large items such as presses, rollers etc will be sold in a short auction starting at 3pm.

PAYMENT Payment can be made by EFT, cheque or cash.

COLLECTION After payment, purchases can be taken on the day, or collected later by arrangement.

QUESTIONS Email preferred paul@paulberkemeier.com.au or text: 0418 461 065
