  • RECORD-BREAKING AUCTION of OLD MASTERS and 19Th CENTURY ART at CHRISTIE’S
    For Immediate Release Tuesday 8 December 2009 Contact: Matthew Paton 020.7389.2965 [email protected] RECORD-BREAKING AUCTION OF OLD MASTERS AND 19th CENTURY ART AT CHRISTIE’S - Raphael drawing sells for £29.2 million - World record price for any work on paper sold at auction 2nd highest price for an old master painting or drawing sold at auction - Rembrandt portrait realises record £20.2 million - World record price for the artist at auction 5th highest price for an Old Master painting or drawing sold at auction - Domenichino sells for £9.2 million - World record price for the artist at auction London – The auction of Old Masters and 19th Century Art at Christie’s on 8 December 2009 realised £68,380,250 / $112,417,131 / €75,491,796 – the highest ever total for an auction of Old Masters. The sale was 65% sold by lot and 95% sold by value. Buyers (by lot) were 46% Europe, 43% Americas and 11% Asia and Middle East. Richard Knight, International co-Head of Old Masters and 19th Century Art at Christie’s: “This auction was an historic event for the art market. Not only was it the highest total for an auction of Old Masters, but we realised 2 of the top 5 prices ever paid for an old master painting or drawing at auction and set artist records for three giants of European art history; Raphael, Rembrandt and Domenichino. Throughout the year we have seen a strong demand for works of art of the highest quality; we have now sold the two most expensive lots of the year with Henri Matisse’s ‘Les coucous, tapis bleu et rose’ which led the record-breaking sale of the Collection of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in Paris in February (€35.9 million), and this evening’s exquisite drawing by Raphael.

  • Country Houses Acquired with Bristol Wealth by H
    From the Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society Country Houses Acquired with Bristol Wealth by H. G. M. Leighton 2005, Vol. 123, 9-16 © The Society and the Author(s) Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 123 (2005), 9–16 Country Houses Acquired with Bristol Wealth By H.G.M. LEIGHTON Presidential Address delivered at the King’s School, Gloucester, 2 April 2005 Introduction I have spent a lifetime in commerce in contrast with most Presidents of this Society who usually come from an academic or associated background. To me, the acquisition, maintenance and use of wealth is a fascinating subject, but serious wealth is rarely made or retained through speculation but comes from aligning products or services to current needs. There are two Quaker sayings, which are timeless: ‘The market may be satisfied with what it is getting but not if aware of what might be available to it’ and ‘If customers are looked after they will look after the business and the business will look after you’. Business ability and aptitude are not necessarily hereditary and often not so, though it is perhaps easier to create a business than adjust a mature one to changing conditions or, indeed, recognise early enough the need for change. It is an aspect of the English character to prefer, at least in theory, the country to the town, but in the first instance it was not easy for a businessman to purchase or manage a country property if his assets were tied into his business which required a high proportion of the profits ploughed back as working capital.

  • The Artistic and Architectural
    1 THE ARTISTIC AND ARCHITECTURAL PATRONAGE OF ANGELA BURDETT COUTTS 2 VOLUMES VOLUME 1 Susan S. Lewis Thesis presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Royal Holloway, University of London, January 2012 2 I declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own: Susan Lewis……………………………… 3 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on the life and artistic patronage of the Victorian philanthropist, Angela Burdett Coutts. As the daughter of both an aristocrat and a member of the nouveau riche Burdett Coutts was a product of both the new and old world of Victorian society and this thesis seeks to explore the ways in which Burdett Coutts fashioned an identity for herself through her patronage of art and architecture. It explores the ways in which taste, gender and class are reflected in Burdett Coutts’s collecting practice and examines her role as a patron through three case studies; as a collector of paintings, as a philanthropist and as a patron of architecture. Chapter One of the thesis examines Burdett Coutts’s collecting practice in relation to recent work on the cultures of collecting and the fashioning of identities with particular reference to aristocratic Victorian society. It contrasts Burdett Coutts with other notable female collectors of the period, and considers acquisition and display in relation to ideas of class identity. It also examines Burdett Coutts as ‘other’ within male dominated collecting practice and also examines the contrasting sites of acquisition, including auction, private sale and art dealer. Chapter Two looks at Burdett Coutts as patron and collector of art and Chapter Three uses biographical data to examine Burdett Coutts’s role as heiress and philanthropist in the fashioning of class identity.
