Plants inside a greenhouse by Olwyn Bowey – £2800 at Henry Adams.
The £140,000 record-breaking Cedric Morris lower painting at Chichester saleroom Henry Adams (plus 20% buyer’s premium) was not the only work by an artist-plantsman to feature in the January 17 sale (see ATG No 2377 for more on that Morris result).
A 2ft 10in x 2ft 3in (85 x 70cm) oil on board by Olwyn Bowey (b.1936) was knocked down at a multi-estimate £2800 after it attracted bids in the room, online and via the phone.
