Oil, Acrylic paintings & Mixed Media

An important group of Victorian pictures owned by the late American literary agent Albert Zuckerman is being offered at Christie’s this summer.

A notable sum for Christopher Wood (1901-30) was recorded at the latest sale held by Gloucestershire saleroom Chorley’s (25% buyer’s premium).

The Dutch artist Paulus Moreelse (1571-1638) was a major figure in Utrecht.

A painting by Paul Henry (1876-1958) of Lough Mask, a vast natural limestone lake stretching between Galway and County Mayo in Ireland, led the latest sale of Irish art at Dublin saleroom Whyte’s.

One of Lucian Freud’s (1922-2011) most famous portraits will appear at Sotheby’s sale of the Lewis collection in June.

Francis Newton Souza (1924-2002) remains the most established name on the secondary market when it comes to modern Indian pictures.

A portrait of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, by Sir Thomas Lawrence (1769-1830) will be offered at Christie’s this summer.

While a bountiful Cedric Morris still life was the headline lot at Lyon & Turnbull’s (27/26% buyer’s premium) latest Modern Made sale, it wasn’t the only flower painting that drew keen interest at the auction.

A detailed and colourful flower study by Sir Cedric Lockwood Morris (1889-1982) attracted fervent competition at Lyon & Turnbull’s latest Modern Made auction in London.

Lambeth’s Garden Museum is hoping to raise £420,000 to purchase a portrait of the gardener and plantsman John Ystumllyn (1736-86/88), one of the earliest recorded black gardeners in Britain.

Alfred Parsons (1847-1920) is generally considered a solidly collectable Victorian-Edwardian artist but has never been in the same league as the major masters of the age, at least in terms of auction prices.

This summer Sotheby’s will offer what is billed as ‘the most valuable single collection ever offered in London’.

A fragmented Old Master portrait by Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1654), with the head and shoulders of the sitter cut out, took a hammer price of €650,000 (£563,305) at Dorotheum.
