The painting of Kawhena

[trikikiwi]

Goldie is an incredible artist. I have been privileged to see many of his works, in gallery exhibits.

This was an early painting of his.




It just sold for a New Zealand record auction price.

Coincidentally,Goldie had a brilliant art forger replicate many of his works;

Karl Sim, passed away recently. He was what you would call, a hard case character.
He changed his name to C.F.Goldie so he could legally sign his replicas.

Hello Mike,

Thanks for introducing me to the work of Goldie. He was a powerful portraitist.
