London art dealer Philip Mould was the successful bidder for three works by Cedric Morris (1889-1982) sold in Essex last week. One set a new auction record for the artist plantsman.
The pictures were among four by Morris offered at Sworders’ Modern British and 20th century art auction on October 22. Foxgloves, a trademark oil of English garden flowers from 1932 was hammered down at £160,000 (plus 25% buyer’s premium).
