Speaker 1: from News Talks AB.

3
00:00:12,773 --> 00:00:15,613
Speaker 2: Kevin Milne is with us this morning morning there, Kevin.

4
00:00:16,213 --> 00:00:19,533
Speaker 3: In the Jack, Well, that was very interesting. I'm I'm

5
00:00:19,533 --> 00:00:21,493
Speaker 3: pleased you added that little piece on at the end

6
00:00:21,493 --> 00:00:24,853
Speaker 3: that said that the that the A League actually that

7
00:00:24,893 --> 00:00:27,333
Speaker 3: the match last night was not a great one and

8
00:00:27,373 --> 00:00:30,093
Speaker 3: the rugby the result wasn't how phenomenal. Yeah.

9
00:00:30,173 --> 00:00:33,613
Speaker 2: Yeah, so here's the thing I did. I wasn't dishonest

10
00:00:33,613 --> 00:00:35,453
Speaker 2: to my thing. Well, I watched about the first twenty

11
00:00:35,533 --> 00:00:37,493
Speaker 2: minutes of the rugby and it was a very close game,

12
00:00:37,573 --> 00:00:39,973
Speaker 2: So that I suppose speaks to my decision even more

13
00:00:40,053 --> 00:00:41,773
Speaker 2: right that I would turn away from a very close

14
00:00:41,813 --> 00:00:43,893
Speaker 2: and exciting game to watch the A League. But I

15
00:00:43,973 --> 00:00:47,013
Speaker 2: did then go back and watch the rugby, because you

16
00:00:47,013 --> 00:00:49,693
Speaker 2: know I did. But it was the question was what

17
00:00:49,733 --> 00:00:52,293
Speaker 2: I was going to watch live? That was the that

18
00:00:52,373 --> 00:00:55,133
Speaker 2: was the dilemma, and it was. It was a thrilling game,

19
00:00:55,253 --> 00:00:58,013
Speaker 2: thrilling game between the One and PACIFICA in the Highlanders

20
00:00:58,773 --> 00:01:00,693
Speaker 2: on the North Shore last night. But Kevin, you have

21
00:01:01,053 --> 00:01:05,493
Speaker 2: discovered another exciting little entertainment option, another avenue of entertainment

22
00:01:05,533 --> 00:01:05,973
Speaker 2: this week.

23
00:01:07,293 --> 00:01:09,413
Speaker 3: Yeah, during the week I got involved for the first

24
00:01:09,453 --> 00:01:13,933
Speaker 3: time in a live online art auction. It's like trade

25
00:01:13,933 --> 00:01:17,013
Speaker 3: me on steroids, with people from all over the country,

26
00:01:17,053 --> 00:01:20,453
Speaker 3: all over the world maybe registering to bid. I was

27
00:01:20,573 --> 00:01:24,413
Speaker 3: keen on a Robin White screen print, a self portrait

28
00:01:24,493 --> 00:01:28,373
Speaker 3: from nineteen seventy nine, and I led the bidding for

29
00:01:28,413 --> 00:01:30,893
Speaker 3: a few days. But of course it's not who leads

30
00:01:30,933 --> 00:01:34,013
Speaker 3: the bids days out that matters. It's the last half hour.

31
00:01:34,533 --> 00:01:38,053
Speaker 3: If the artworks on high demand, all hell breaks loose.

32
00:01:38,293 --> 00:01:40,933
Speaker 3: It's more exciting than the tally, even if you don't

33
00:01:41,013 --> 00:01:44,413
Speaker 3: have skin in the game. I bid a little bit

34
00:01:44,413 --> 00:01:47,573
Speaker 3: more than I had promised Linda, but the bidding went

35
00:01:47,613 --> 00:01:50,093
Speaker 3: on well after I dropped out, and the print, one

36
00:01:50,173 --> 00:01:53,853
Speaker 3: of forty that Robin White made in nineteen seventy nine,

37
00:01:54,293 --> 00:01:59,893
Speaker 3: sold above expectations for ten thousand dollars. But the star

38
00:02:00,093 --> 00:02:03,133
Speaker 3: of the auction, and I wasn't involved in bidding on

39
00:02:03,173 --> 00:02:05,853
Speaker 3: this was a painting that got a lot of publicity

40
00:02:05,973 --> 00:02:09,333
Speaker 3: last week. It was the Raven Turner oil painting that

41
00:02:09,493 --> 00:02:12,773
Speaker 3: Split Ends used on the cover of their nineteen eighty

42
00:02:13,253 --> 00:02:17,853
Speaker 3: Frenzy album. It's a large painting with the original six

43
00:02:17,973 --> 00:02:21,333
Speaker 3: members of Spread Ends in front of a dilapidated farm

44
00:02:21,373 --> 00:02:25,773
Speaker 3: shed alongside a big mob of sheep. It's a great painting. Actually,

45
00:02:26,373 --> 00:02:29,853
Speaker 3: the auctioneers estimated it itself for between twelve and twenty

46
00:02:29,853 --> 00:02:34,813
Speaker 3: two thousand, and usually those estimates are pretty accurate. But

47
00:02:34,933 --> 00:02:38,013
Speaker 3: the pop culture, of course, is a way of surprising everyone.

48
00:02:38,373 --> 00:02:43,893
Speaker 3: And the spread ends painting sold for eighty thousand. You

49
00:02:44,013 --> 00:02:47,373
Speaker 3: might wonder does the artist, Raven Turner get anything out

50
00:02:47,413 --> 00:02:50,173
Speaker 3: of that? Up to this year she'd have got nothing.

51
00:02:50,533 --> 00:02:53,853
Speaker 3: But now on top of the buyer's premium, buyers had

52
00:02:53,933 --> 00:02:57,733
Speaker 3: charged another five percent of the sail figure, which goes

53
00:02:57,813 --> 00:03:01,573
Speaker 3: back to the original artist. Is called the artist's resale

54
00:03:01,773 --> 00:03:05,453
Speaker 3: royalty scheme. So that's five grand or so back to

55
00:03:05,573 --> 00:03:09,653
Speaker 3: Raeven Turner imagine, which I think is great. I do

56
00:03:09,853 --> 00:03:13,333
Speaker 3: wonder Jack, it's the new owner of the painting, isn't

57
00:03:13,373 --> 00:03:14,373
Speaker 3: one of the film brothers.

58
00:03:15,533 --> 00:03:18,853
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. It would be. It would being

59
00:03:18,893 --> 00:03:21,893
Speaker 2: to say it's someone who's not hat hasn't impacted too

60
00:03:21,933 --> 00:03:26,933
Speaker 2: much by their current economic and yeah, goodness recession. What recession?

61
00:03:27,373 --> 00:03:27,573
Speaker 3: Yeah?

62
00:03:28,733 --> 00:03:31,933
Speaker 2: That is amazing first of all, like superb that the

63
00:03:32,013 --> 00:03:33,413
Speaker 2: artists are getting a bit of money, don't you think

64
00:03:33,573 --> 00:03:36,533
Speaker 2: it must be so frustrating for artists seeing their seeing

65
00:03:36,573 --> 00:03:39,333
Speaker 2: their works kind of you know, fetch top dollar and

66
00:03:39,373 --> 00:03:41,373
Speaker 2: maybe not being able to share in some of that.

67
00:03:42,453 --> 00:03:42,653
Speaker 3: Yeah.

68
00:03:42,773 --> 00:03:46,333
Speaker 2: Second of all, do you know that when I proposed

69
00:03:46,333 --> 00:03:49,613
Speaker 2: to my wife, I bought her a little Robin white

Speaker 2: Now, I can assure you it did not cost him

73
00:03:53,813 --> 00:03:54,813
Speaker 2: those dollars.

74
00:03:55,293 --> 00:03:57,533
