ON THE MONEY
Thursday, 25 June 2009
Despite an uneasy art market, one of Hazel Dooney's first paintings, Lolita At Sixteen, exceeded its cautious pre-sale estimate at Menzies Art Brands' auction of contemporary art in Sydney yesterday. Completed in 1997, the 1.45m x 3.0m enamel on canvas sold for $A13,000 – not including the 22 percent buyer's premium plus 10 percent sales tax – after what was described as 'spirited' bidding.

THE AVIATRIX FLIES
Wednesday, 17 December 2008
In a second remarkable auction result in less than a week, Hazel Dooney's 2008 large enamel on board painting, Dangerous Career Babe: The Aviatrix, was sold tonight for $A32,701 at Christie's sale of Modern And Contemporary Australian And South African Art in London. This exceeded the low-end of Christie's pre-sale estimate and represents a new record for Dooney's work at auction – an extraordinary achievement during a global economic downturn, especially for a young artist who has yet to exhibit in Europe.

STUDY FOR DANGEROUS CAREER BABE: THE RACE CAR DRIVER (HOMAGE TO HELLÉ NICE)
2009 Acrylic on paper, 40cm x 52cm. |
"She is a model for the new paradigm in the art world. The empowered artist and the empowered audience."
- Art Is Moving, 21st August, 2008
"Dooney has both extraordinary depth as an artist and a sound painterly technique."
– Vogue Australia, December, 2007
"Hazel Dooney walks the razor's edge between respect and celebrity in today's artworld."
– Australian Financial Review, 15th September, 2006
"These works carry the subversive and slick trademarks of contemporary consumer culture. Her work comes across as an intense exploration of personal eroticism filtered through a candy-coloured palette."
– The Sunday Age Agenda, 26th September, 2004
