Important Australian Art

Smith & Singer’s November 2021 auction of Important Australian Art 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) – $12,239,951 from just 78 works.

Two prices in excess of $1 million were achieved, with two works setting new auction records. Bidding from clients in the saleroom, on telephones, and online resulted in a sold rate of 81% by volume and 162% by value, showing the depth of demand in the sale. The figure augments the outstanding private sale and international consignments we have achieved in throughout 2021, and continues our position as the premier art business in Australia.

Leading results were achieved for traditional, modern, and contemporary Australian artists including Ralph Balson, Del Kathryn Barton, Clarice Beckett, Charles Blackman, Frederick McCubbin, Arthur Streeton, Albert Tucker, and Brett Whitleley, amongst others.
