St Tropez by Charles Camoin – £11,000 at Gildings.
A painting of St Tropez by the Fauvist painter Charles Camoin (1879-1965) went under the hammer for the first time in more than half a century at Gildings (15% buyer’s premium).
Offered in the March 28 sale in Market Harborough, the 15 x 18in (38 x 46cm) signed oil on canvas came from a private house clearance in Northampton – the same source that yielded the £125,000 Auguste Herbin’s Fauvist oil, Maisons au Quai Vert, Bruges (see ATG No 2286).
