Venus and Adonis by Titian

This sumptuous portrayal of the tragic tale of Venus and Adonis by Titian and workshop was the jewel in the crown of Masters Week in London, with a sale price of £11.2 million, or $13.6 million, the second highest auction price for any work featuring Titian’s hand. With a near unbroken provenance reaching back 300 years, this is one of the finest versions of the artist’s most popular subject, sought out by collectors the world over ever since it was first made famous 470 years ago.

Banksy’s latest artwork on house up for sale has left homeowners worse off despite £5 million evaluation

On Thursday 10 December 2020, a painting that depicts an old woman violenting sneezing which causes her dentures to fly out. Was graffitied on a semi detached house in Bristol. The house is on Britain's steepest street. The angle in which it's painted makes it appear that her sneeze is blowing the houses over. The vendors of the property, which is up for sale had already accepted an offer. The buyers where due to exchange next week. However the sale has been put on hold, due to the value of the home rocketing. According to Right Move, the estimated worth of homes on the same street is £300,000. The artwork entitled Aachoo! Has been given provenance and authentication by the elusive artist Banksy, now the home estimate value is at £5 million.

The owner of the house that was subject to Banksy's latest artwork says they are 'worse off' as a result despite the property being valued at £5 million.

The homeowners claim due to the rocketing price of the property and the value of Banksy artwork itself, it has cost them a lot of money putting security measures in place to protect themselves and the art. Due to the media attention, the family have reported in the middle of the night people would climb over the house to get a closer look at the artwork. The homeowners are having to fork out money to hire a security firm to protect it from vandals. Although the hike in property value, the vendors have claimed they want to continue with the current agreed sale and aim for an agreed completion date on the property soon due to stress of the media and public attention.

Dirty clothes never stayed on the floor for more than a few seconds and beautiful gowns kept arriving, I had this fantasy that I was in an Antonioni film. I felt like a spoilt princess.  The Versaces really know how to live.                                              - Madonna, UK Vogue, October 1997.

Old Captain's House - Harald Sohlberg

Harald Sohlberg ranks among Norway’s leading and most influential modernist landscape painters. The subject of this work, the Old Captain's house in the fishing village of Kjerringvik in Vestfold on the Oslo Fjord, is one which preoccupied Sohlberg for several years, and one to which he clearly attached considerable importance and meaning. Offered as a highlight of the London Old Masters Evening sale, ‘The Old Captain’s House, Winter Afternoon’ exemplifies the skill with which Sohlberg turns the ordinary into the extraordinary, transforming a seemingly mundane scene of the everyday into a haunting moodscape.
