An art collection consigned to the Shrewsbury-based fine art auction house has sold for more than £70,000.
Art specialist Abigail Molenaar said she was delighted with the prices achieved in Halls Fine Art’s modern and contemporary art online auction.
Top price in the auction was £3,200 for ‘Family at the Beach’, an oil painting by Mary Adshead which was hotly contested and sailed over its estimate. An unusual sculpture by Eduardo Paolozzi for Nairn Flooring which was still complete with its original box and original inserts, sold above the top estimate for £950.
“The sale of Mr Obeid’s collection was a resounding success, having achieved in excess of £70,000. It is always such a pleasure to handle a collection that has been put together from a sheer love of art and of collecting. This result further enhances Halls Fine Art’s strong track record for single owner estate sales.”
