Dacre King was reading about the remarkable case of a scandalous Stobie pole painted by the world famous Australian artist Clifton Pugh, which has gone missing. And then he thought about the art in his shed, gathering dust.
The collector went and pulled the hulking thing on to the patio of his home in Armidale, New South Wales – but it wasn’t the missing Pugh Stobie pole. It was the missing Pugh refrigerator. A Kelvinator Magic Cycle, painted by the artist in 1958.
