Peter Hallinan (1938-2015), Broadbeach, Gold Coast, Australia (coll. in situ,1959) (Inv.No. P750) Anthony J.P. Meyer, Paris, France Lempertz, Brussels, 11 June 2011, lot 5 Zemanek-Münster, Würzburg, 2 June 2012, Lot 30 Bettina Rübesam, Munich, Germany John Peter Hallinan's interest in oceanic art was sparked at a young age by the superb collection of ethnographic objects at Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History. In the early 1960s, the eccentric American came to Australia. As an adult he concentrated on Melanesian material culture and pursued this new interest with determination and intellectual rigor. During the next twentyfive years Hallinan made twenty-six field expeditions to PNG, collecting and documenting Melanesian Art. He lived among the people in remote areas and studied their diverse cultures and traditional artworks. Over time, he became one of the best informed and most respected tribal art dealer in Australia.
