Final Welsh Sale seals record year for Welsh art

The sale concludes a record year for Welsh art with sales exceeding £1.4 million for the first time. The results show the strength of the Wesh art market and our continued growth in this sector. Our database of active buyers has grown enormously in the last few years due to a tangible increase in interest in Welsh art.

There are no surprises that works by Sir Kyffin Williams have led the way on prices again with just under £454,000 in total value having sold. But the sell through for Kyffins this year has been staggering; we have offered 112 works by the artist in our three Welsh Sales and only 3 pictures failed to sell (and one of those sold in a subsequent sale at a higher price than the original estimate)! The appetite for Wales best known artist is unprecedented, and we are selling them to collectors far and wide with many of them purchasing a Kyffin for the first time. The appetite for Kyffin was fully on show in our latest Welsh Sale when a smallish but trademark 'farmer on a mountain with sheepdogs' saw a protracted bidding battle to reach an exceptional £61,000 hammer price conclusion. This is just £1000 short of our own world record for the artist.
