Other Notes:

It is hard to conceive of contemporary Australian photography without the work of Tracey Moffatt, and indeed without the lush imagery of the Something More series. Originally exhibited in 1989 as part of Moffatt’s first solo exhibition which was held at the Australian Centre for Photography, Sydney , the series has since been included in numerous significant exhibitions both in Australia and abroad. As observed by curator Gael Newton ‘Something More instantly established Moffatt’s presence... and its surreal and exaggerated spaces became her signature style.’¹

Moffatt’s work moves well beyond the retrospections of an introverted youth. Her complex fragmentations of the narrative arc leave the viewer to wonder at the unexplained ‘in between’ events which populate her series. The allegory presented in Something More is strangely recognisable; half memory, half apparition. As Moffatt plays to the anticipation that is generated between desire and fulfilment, between what is remembered and what is dreamt, she also provides release through the sheer beauty of her work, though ‘it is a pleasure always attended by a feeling of unease’.²

This work was purchased from Sotheby's in 2008 for $42,000 hammer which equated to just over $44,000 after buyer's commission, GST, and other charges. It had an estimate of $40,000 to $60,000. The sale is recorded on AASD as follows:

Although this fine photograph takes pride of place on my wall, I require funds for a new business venture so need to part with it.  It will be sorely missed and will make a great addition to compliment your own collection.  Hopefully I will also see some return on my investment!
