Auction Update

Ten days ago I pointed to a few highlights in Bonhams London auction of 19th Century Paintings (CLICK). Sir Alfred James Munnings' dramatic The Fair topped the sale at £182,500. It was bought direct from the artist for £35 and kept in the family for a century. Sir John Everett Millais' A Dream at Dawn made £55,000. I have no idea what price John Atkinson Grimshaw's At The Park Gate (1878) fetched, because Bonhams has been offline this morning and Art Daily ignored it (CLICK).
