Melbourne has been branded the arts capital of Australia, and for good reason; just look at the rich display of art painting our city corridors. Art and culture are embedded in our city’s identity and we are home to some of Australia’s best boutique contemporary gallery spaces.

Not only was a new record set for Arthur Streeton for his romantic vision of Venice,
The Grand Canal, which hammered $2.5 million at Deutscher and Hackett in Melbourne, but the painting sold to an internet bidder, establishing yet another record. Deutscher and Hackett charges a 25 per cent buyerâs premium, including GST, on the hammer, which gave the Streeton a total price of $3.068 million.
