HistoryThe company began as Deutscher-Menzies in 1997, founded by entrepreneur Rod Menzies and art dealer Chris Deutscher.[3] Menzies bought Deutscher’s Melbourne based art dealership, and in doing so also acquired a stable of artists including Peter Booth, Bill Henson, John Olsen and John Brack. The first auction was conducted in 1998.[4] In September 2001, Rod Menzies purchased Lawsons, a well known Sydney based auction house, and founded Lawson-Menzies.[5] While Lawson-Menzies initially specialised in collectibles, it soon entered the same high value art market as Deutscher-Menzies.[5] Both competed directly with Sotheby’s and Christie’s, until Christie’s departed Australia in 2005.[5] In 2004, Menzies Art Brands was officially formed from the combining of Deutscher-Menzies and Lawson-Menzies.[2] In 2004, Lawson-Menzies established a specialist Aboriginal art department to capitalise on the booming Aboriginal art market.[5] Sydney Aboriginal art dealer Adrian Newstead was recruited to run the department.[5] He notably sold Emily Kame Kngwarreye’s painting Earth's Creation for $1,056,000 in May 2007. At the time, this was the world record price for Aboriginal art, and is still the highest price paid for a work by an Australian female artist. In the same boom year of 2007, Menzies sold Brett Whiteley's The Olgas for Ernest Giles for $3.48 million (including commissions). This was at the time the record for an Australian artwork sold at auction.[2] The record is currently held by another work sold through Menzies, Sidney Nolan's First-Class Marksman, which sold to the Art Gallery of New South Wales for $5.4 million in March 2010.[6] In 2006, Menzies’ business partner Chris Deutscher left to form a new auction company, Deutscher and Hackett, with Menzies’ painting specialist Damian Hackett.[2][7] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Bellamy|first1=Louise|title=Menzies Art Brands tops 2014 Australian art auction sales with $36 million turnover|url=http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/art-and-design/menzies-art-brands-tops-2014-australian-art-auction-sales-with-36-million-turnover-20141215-127ect.html|website=The Sydney Morning Herald|accessdate=8 August 2015}} {{Australia-company-stub}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite news | last=Coslovich | first=Gabriella | title=The art of the deal | date=23 January 2010 | publisher=The Age | url=http://www.theage.com.au/national/the-art-of-the-deal-20100122-mqrv.html}} 3. ^{{cite book|last1=Newstead|first1=Adrian|title=The Dealer is the Devil: An Insider's History of the Aboriginal Art Trade|date=2014|publisher=Brandl and Schlesinger|isbn=9781921556432|page=752}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.menziesartbrands.com/welcome-menzies-art-brands|title=Welcome to menzies|publisher=|accessdate=27 January 2016}} 5. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book|last1=Newstead|first1=Adrian|title=The Dealer is the Devil: An Insider's History of the Aboriginal Art Trade|date=2014|publisher=Brandl and Schlesinger|isbn=9781921556432|page=753}} 6. ^{{cite web|last1=Fulton|first1=Adam|title=Record $5.4m for Nolan|url=http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/art-and-design/record-54m-for-nolan-20100325-qzrj.html|website=The Sydney Morning Herald|accessdate=8 August 2015}} 7. ^{{cite book|last1=Newstead|first1=Adrian|title=The Dealer is the Devil: An Insider's History of the Aboriginal Art Trade|date=2014|publisher=Brandl and Schlesinger|isbn=9781921556432|page=853}} 1 : Australian auction houses |
