Tim Goodman’s debut as Sotheby’s Australia was closely watched by his rivals according to The Age in Australia:

Rival auctioneers rolled up to the Armadale showroom to watch Goodman take to the Sotheby’s podium, among them Deutscher-Menzies’ national head of art, Tim Abdallah, and Deutscher and Hackett’s head of Aboriginal art, Crispin Gutteridge, and head auctioneer Anita Archer.

The night’s results were promising, with $6.04 million worth of art – or 65 per cent of all lots – being sold.
