Sotheby’s Australian Art Sale Does A$2.8m with 60% Sold

Bloomberg reports on the A$990,000 Brett Whitely picture, “Balmoral”:

The painting of misshapen bodies sunning themselves on Balmoral Beach was sold by the Art Gallery of New South Wales, along with John Perceval’s “Pleasure Craft,” which fetched A$198,000. The works were sold by the gallery to raise funds for its September A$16.2 million purchase of Paul Cezanne’s “Bords de la Marne.” Auction prices include commission.
