Alexandra Gill, Head of the Prints Department, South Kensington, commented: “We are pleased with the results of this sale which achieved some exceptional prices, including Cyril Power’s ‘Sunshine Roof’ realising £56,250. The eclectic collection of Gilles Abrioux reflected the global appeal of the print market, with particularly strong bidding from Asia. Works by Picasso, Chagall, Warhol and Hirst also fared well, as did the early Old Master and Decorative sections.” |
