Auction Results - Important Australian Art
IMPORTANT AUSTRALIAN ART
Smith & Singer’s tightly curated November 2023 auction of Important Australian Art achieved exceptional results for traditional, modern and contemporary Australian art with a total of $9,858,750 (including buyer’s premium).
Determined bidding from clients in the saleroom, on telephones, and online resulted in an outstanding sold rate for a mixed vendor sale of 110% by value and 75% by volume, showing the depth of demand across all categories.
Results were led by stellar performances by artists including Howard Arkley, Charles Blackman, Rosalie Gascoigne, and Sidney Nolan, with a new world auction record established for Nicholas Harding.
Smith & Singer continue to lead the art auction market in Australia with sales exceeding $40 million for the year. The figure augments the extensive private sales and international consignments Smith & Singer have transacted to date in 2023.
