Important Australian & International Art

Smith & Singer’s first Important Australian & International Art auction of 2021 set records by achieving the highest total from the smallest number of lots in the company’s history (as both Smith & Singer and formerly Sotheby’s Australia) – $11,965,909 from just 57 works.

Two prices in excess of $1 million were achieved, with six works setting new auction records. Bidding from clients in the saleroom, on telephones, and online resulted in a sold rate of 93.44% by volume and 144.22% by value, showing the depth of demand in the sale. The figure augments the outstanding private sale and international consignments we have achieved in the first quarter of 2021, and continues our position as the premier art business in Australia.

Leading results were achieved for traditional, modern, and contemporary Australian artists including George Baldessin, Arthur Boyd, Bessie Davidson, Rosalie Gascoigne, Robert Klippel, Frederick McCubbin, Sidney Nolan, Jeffrey Smart, Constance Stokes, Arthur Streeton, Albert Tucker, and Fred Williams, amongst others.
