Happy returns for Minton bankside scene Work on paper outperforms more traditional Mod Brits at Knightsbridge lockdown sale

by Alex Capon

The artist John Minton (1917- 1957) has been on the rise both curatorially and commercially over the last five years. In 2016, his auction record was broken twice when two large-scale Jamaican scenes sold at Christie’s for premium-inclusive prices of £188,500 and £293,000. Bonhams also has a good record with Minton, selling works including a large pen and ink drawing Summer Landscape for a hammer price of £120,000 in June 2018. Sandwiched between these results was the well-received centenary exhibition held at Pallant House Gallery in Chichester which brought 1 the works of Minton – an ‘artist, traveller and hedonist’ according to the museum – to a wider audience in 2017. While his colourful sun-drenched depictions of the Mediterranean 1.

Turning heads at Bonhams Knightsbridge’s sale of Modern British art was a group of 22 pen and ink drawings by Cecil Beaton (1904-80) which formed part of the photographer’s The Book of Beauty published in 1930. Sold to the private UK owner as a single lot by Christie’s back in 1988, they were offered here separately with hopes of £400-1800 apiece. All of them sold for a hammer total of £19,540. Bonhams specialist in Modern 4 British and Irish art and head of the sale Janet Hardie said: “Even amid the current situation there is still a real appetite for beautiful works of March 2010 for a premium-inclusive at £3200 – a decent sum for Badmin art.
