Joan Miro painting smashes auction record - BBC News

Joan Miro painting smashes auction record - BBC News
20 June 2012 Last updated at 05:03 ET

Joan Miro's 1927 work Peinture (Etoile Bleue) has sold for more than £23.5 million in London, setting a new auction record for the Spanish painter.

An anonymous telephone bidder saw off three rivals at the Sotheby's sale.

The abstract work has tripled in price since it was last sold in 2007 and fetched the highest price reached at a London auction so far this year.

The previous auction record for a Miro was £16.8m, set when his 1925 work Painting-Poem sold in February.

Peinture (Etoile Bleue) - which translates as Painting (Blue Star) - hails from Miro's 'dream paintings' cycle and had been expected to fetch no more than £15m.

According to Sotheby's Helena Newman, the high figure reflected the current "unprecedented demand" for the best of 20th Century art.

The second highest price at Tuesday's event was fetched by Pablo Picasso's Homme Assis, which sold for £6.2m.

A Henry Moore sculpture, Mother and Child With Apple, was one of the night's other star performers, raising well above its pre-sale forecast of £3.7m.

The auction was the first in a busy week for fine art sales in London, which continues on Wednesday at Christie's.

Painting Nature's Spirit at The Gallery, Chard - Chard & Ilminster News

Painting Nature's Spirit at The Gallery, Chard

8:00am Wednesday 20th June 2012 in What's On By Jamie Brooks

PAINTING Nature’s Spirit is the theme of the latest exhibition on show at The Gallery Café Bar and Bistro in Chard this month.

Gwyn Ardyth’s art explores the visible and invisible realms of the woodland landscape in a bid to convey a sense of the mystical and the wild, the untamed and vibrant life force in these ecosystems.

Gwyn, Californian by birth, now lives in Somerset, where she finds endless inspiration for paintings and photos with woods filled with the sound and scent of dripping rain, reflecting pools, damp earth, creaking branches, shadows, and shifting sunlight.

Having previously studied art in California, New York and England, Gwyn achieved an HND in Fine Art at Weston College, Somerset in 2003 and a BA (Hons) Degree in Drawing and Applied Art at the University of the West of England, Bristol in 2006.
