The incident tragically claimed the life of leading art dealer Tim Klingender. The news has sent shockwaves through the Australian art world, leaving friends, family, and the community in distress and seeking answers.
A Passionate Angler and A Close-Knit Circle
Andrew Findlay, aged 50, was known for his passion for fishing and was excitedly joining Klingender on a fishing expedition early on Thursday morning. The two were close friends, and Findlay's circle of friends extended to many former schoolmates from St Joseph's College Hunters Hill, where he graduated in 1990. As a father of three small children, Findlay's dedication to his family and love for fishing were well-known.
A Devastating Discovery
The tragedy struck when Marine police received reports of boating debris floating in the water around 10.20 am on Thursday. This discovery led to a search operation, involving Marine Rescue NSW, commencing immediately. The search covered the area from The Gap south to Wedding Cake Island off Coogee, where more fragments of the boat were found.
The Impact on the Art World
The loss of Tim Klingender, a prominent figure in the Australian art world, has left a deep void. As one of the world's leading dealers of Australian Indigenous art, Klingender was instrumental in shaping the art market in the country and beyond. His expertise, knowledge, and passion for Indigenous art were unparalleled.
Long-time friend and associate, Melbourne gallerist D'Lan Davidson, mourned the loss, saying, "He leaves behind a huge vacuum for Indigenous art in this country and around the world ... he truly was the architect of the market we have today."
A Life of Achievement
Tim Klingender's achievements were impressive and made him a highly respected figure in the art community. He graduated with a BA in fine art from the University of Melbourne and went on to work for Sotheby's for 20 years. His role as an international director between 1998 and 2009 further solidified his status as a key player in the art world.
He made significant contributions to the field by establishing the contemporary art department for Sotheby's, Australia, in 1994, and later founding Sotheby's Aboriginal art department in 1996. He took pride in showcasing the highlights of these sales internationally in cities like New York, London, and Paris before the auctions took place in Australia.
