The estate of Betty McLaren (d.2022), wife of renowned potter, cartoonist & animator, Gus McLaren (b.1923-d.2008 Pambula NSW). All items are being sold in-situ from the artist's (self-built) former cottage in Merimbula.

A significant offering spanning Gus's entire oeuvre - beginning with works created during his early years living at the artists community at Warrandyte in the 1950's and 60's, through to later pottery produced in collaboration with Betty (and some with daughter Susan) at their studio in Merimbula.

Of special note are hitherto unrecorded original paintings by Gus - his paintings have previously never been sold. Included also are works by other artists with whom Gus worked over the years including Reg Preston, John Perceval, and Les Tanner; plus a few pieces from the hand of son John - regarded by the family as being an expert thrower.

This is truly the 'end of an era' - concluding with the sale of equipment from the studio, and many of the extant slip-casting moulds.
