Ernest Neuschul

A range of works by the Czech expressionist artist Ernest Neuschul were warmly received when offered in our specialist sale.

The saleroom at Sedgemoor was transformed into a gallery for the occasion which drew bidding from across Europe, particularly online from within the Czech and Slovak Republics.

It proved to be a sell-out or ‘white glove’ affair as all 46 lots were bought for a total of £47,300.

Gracing the front cover of the catalogue, an abstract reclining nude ‘The dream of Miss Universe’, painted in 1964, fetched the joint top price of the day, selling for £3,200.

Another figural piece, ‘The Grandmother’, from 1943, was bid to £1,900, while ‘Female Guitar Player’ saw the hammer fall at £1,600.

The pop-art inspired ‘Three unclothed mannequins’ (pictured below), a large bright canvas completed in 1964, also sold for £3,200.

Part of the appeal lay in the fact that the stock was all fresh to the market, with an outstanding provenance, having come directly from the family of the artist.
