limited edition Abstract lithograph by Pierre Soulages – £22,000 at Charterhouse.
Bringing international interest to a Dorset auction, a limited edition Pierre Soulages (b.1919) print generated a strong bidding contest.
Consigned to Charterhouse (25% buyer’s premium) in Sherborne, as part of a deceased estate from a local property where it had previously hung in pride of place, the 2ft 2in x 19¾in (65 x 50cm) lithograph was one of the artist’s numerous signed Abstract prints – this one from a 1972 signed edition of 30 prints.
