Ken Hinds Cultural Heritage Collection - October 2023

FOCUS ON FEMALE ARTISTS

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. As well as a large group of mid-century ceramics, and some tribal and ethnographic pieces, the art component of this auction contains a number of interesting pictures by female artists.
