Anne Von Bertouch, OAM (29 June 1915 – 31 March 2003) was an Australian art dealer, author, environmentalist and director of the Von Bertouch Galleries in Newcastle, New South Wales, believed to be the first commercial gallery outside a capital city in Australia.[1]

Biography

Born Anne Catherine, to parents Jean (née Duff) and George Whittle on 29 June 1915 in Eastwood, New South Wales,[2] she was educated at Sydney Girls High School and Armidale Teachers College. After teacher training her first posting was at Adamstown Infants School in the 1930s. She married Roger Von Bertouch in 1939. In 1941 she was the organiser of a National Fitness Camp for girls at Broken Bay, New South Wales.[3]

She and Roger moved to Tasmania, where they taught and she studied at Hobart Technical College. In 1942 she performed modern interpretive dance at a Town Hall concert in Hobart organised by the Australian Broadcasting Commission Patriotic Committee as a fundraiser on Allies' Appeal Day.[4][5] She danced also in Hobart's Opera And Ballet Festival for International Week in 1945.[6][7]

Intending to develop land and to pursue their artistic interests, they moved to Mungo Brush in the Myall Lakes, New South Wales, in 1951[8][9] or 1954,[10] living a subsistence existence from prawn fishing and trading their home-grown produce,[11][12] and were appointed Honorary Rangers there in 1955 under the Wild Flowers and Native Plants Protection Act.[13] Anne's 1959 semi-autobiographical documentary novel February Dark gives an account of their time there.[14][15] Finding their block unviable, they moved to Newcastle where they renovated a terrace house.[10] An active environmentalist, in the 1970s she famously chained herself to a tree to stop the widening of King Street, Newcastle, through Birdwood Park.[16]

In 1987 von Bertouch joined the 1988 Australian Bicentennial First Fleet reenactment, sailing on the Soren Larsen from Portsmouth in May 1987 and arriving at Port Jackson on Australia Day.[17]

Von Bertouch Galleries

Von Bertouch Galleries, Newcastle

Anne and Roger von Bertouch opened the von Bertouch Galleries in their home at 50 Laman Street in Newcastle on 9 February 1963[18][19] which, as noted by The Bulletin magazine, was close to William Dobell's birthplace and the Newcastle Art Gallery.[10] An annual Collectors' Choice exhibition with a price maximum of 15 guineas (a value of A$500 in 2022) was established.[20]

In 1969, not long after Anne had been injured and suffered a coma in a serious car accident near Morisset[21][22] the couple separated.[20] She acquired near-derelict Hunniford Terrace, a row of four narrow 1877[23] houses, opposite hers, on three titles surrounding 61 Laman St.[24] They were threatened with demolition, and she combined and converted them, over five years and with the help of friends, to house the gallery,[11] which opened in 1974, after the couple had dissolved their partnership in the gallery in 1973.[25][26] Gael Davies became Anne's gallery manager in 1975.

Von Bertouch Galleries showed contemporary work by nationally prominent artists,[27] as well as artists associated with the Hunter Region of New South Wales, including still-life painter Margaret Olley (1923-2011), landscapist Shay Docking (1928–1998), mid-century modernist painter and textile designer Mary Beeston (b. 1917), naïve artist Virginia Geyl (b. Holland 1917– d.1999) and the surrealist/religious painter Rona Scott, who created a mural for the film Tommy when it came to Australia.[8] The Collector's Choice group exhibition, established in 1969 at the suggestion of Tom Gleghorn, and which opened the renovated space, became an annual fixture important as part of Newcastle's art scene, and spawned street parties.[20]

The Bulletin in 1974 described Von Bertouch Galleries as "one of the most famous in Australia... It's [sic] director Anne Von Bertouch has made a great contribution to the life of [Newcastle] during the 11 years of the gallery's existence," and quoted her sentiments about selling art;

"I think the gallery has integrity. That is what I have worked hardest to achieve. I have never encouraged the buyer who is only interested in investment. In fact I won't sell to them. I tell them to go and buy real estate. I don't want them to have pictures if they aren't going to appreciate them. It's an anti-art thing...I have never had contracts or ties with any of the artists. Sometimes I've helped people but that is just natural. Artists must create for the sake of creating. They mustn't attempt to please. That can destroy the living quality of the painting. It will always have its own intrinsic value. Commercial gain is really incidental."[28]

The same 1974 issue of The Bulletin listed selling prices in A$ of a number of exhibitors; Charles Blackman $2400 (equivalent to more than $20,000 in 2022); David Boyd $1150; Donald Friend $525; Irvine Homer $300; Pro Hart $950; Reinis Zusters $960; George Lawrence $650; Lloyd Rees $6000; Louis James $200; Ray Crooke $4500; Jamie Boyd $330; Keith Looby $75–$2400; Rona Scott $50–$7000; John Winch $75–$1200; Margaret Olley $200–$950; Virginia Geyl $50–$280; Lillian Sutherland $85–$450; Rae Richards $175–$350; while at its annual Collectors' Choice works were $75 and under (equivalent to $650 in 2022).[28]

Von Bertouch was considered a mentor and fair dealer by her artists; David Boyd remarked that was "the most highly principled person in the gallery world. One could have complete trust in her without having to worry. She was loved very much by all."[29] David Thomas, a previous director (1965–75) of the Newcastle Region Art Gallery remembered her as "tough lady"; "By tough I mean she was of strong character, dedicated to making sure artists were well represented and improving the city's cultural life"[30]

On Saturday 9 February 2002, before its closure, Von Bertouch held a party to celebrate the Galleries' 39 years.[31]

Awards

Author

Von Bertouch’s 1959 novel February Dark, runner-up in The Sydney Morning Herald Literary Award, was based on her experience of life in Myall Lakes. It was reissued by Hunniford's Lane Press in 1982.[14] Her other published works include The Ride Home and a 1000-copy limited-edition monograph on sculptor Guy Boyd,[8] described by Canberra Times reviewer Glenda Alexander as a "delightful story, if touched with the hint of sentimentality which the Boyds always seem to attract."[61]

Death and legacy

Following a severe stroke,[62] Anne Von Bertouch died on 26 April 2003.[8][63] Her funeral at Christ Church Cathedral with a eulogy[64] by Newcastle Region Art Gallery director Nick Mitzevich was attended by 500 mourners.[65] Shortly before her death Von Bertouch bequeathed a total of 136 works from her personal collection to the Newcastle Region Art Gallery, the biggest art collection bestowed to it in 58 years and valued in the millions of dollars;[66] they were exhibited there in March 2003.[67] In November 2005 350 artworks still in her gallery were auctioned as required by the Uncollected Goods Act of 1995.[68]

After her death manager Gael Davies attempted to hold a 41st Collectors' Choice exhibition on October 31, 2003,[69] and the remaining scheduled shows for 2003, but an estate dispute was underway and the shows could not go ahead;[70] consequently the gallery remained closed.[71] Von Bertouch left her estate to her then 23-year-old great niece Cassandra Bird and to Davies. In March 2004 Bird sought to buy Davies' share and to reopen the gallery. Davies rejected the offer as unviable and proposed instead a new, smaller gallery be built on a parcel of land in Laman Street from the sale of surrounding land.[72] The dispute became litigious with the outcome being its sale in 2007 by Supreme Court-appointed trustee Ferrier Hodgson.[24]

The terraces were purchased by Dr Dick Lees for #1,420,000 in 2007,[73] and in 2010 were listed for sale at A$1.6 million.[23] The four terrace houses sold together for a fourth time in 2015.[74] Matt and Marilyn Sainsbury, new owners of the gallery buildings, with Matt's sister Helen Griffin, commissioned Newcastle sculptor Graham Wilson, an exhibitor at the gallery,[75] to carve a bust in Wollombi sandstone honouring her memory and her place in Cooks Hill life. Installed in 2019, it stands outside the former gallery on Laman Street.[76]
