The Australian is keeping tabs on the sale at Mosgreen’s that has set a record for Australian painter Fred Williams:
A FINE Fred Williams landscape was sold for $1.25 million and 10 registered bidders resulted in an intricate Robert Klippel metal sculpture fetching $73,200, five times its estimate, at an auction in Sydney last night.
Both works were among the 590 items from the estate of Ann Lewis auctioned by Mossgreen at the Art Gallery of NSW last night, where attractive prices and a 1500-strong crowd saw bidding open at 6pm and set to continue until well after midnight.
