Several dealerships have completed sales to institutions after the winter showing of London Art Week (LAW).
Elliott Fine Art sold three of its pictures to international museums including Mon Atelier by Swiss artist Lucy Attinger (1859- 1928. The 15 x 18in (38 x 45cm) oil on canvas, which was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1889, shows the artist at the Académie Julian sketching the viewer. It is one of only two known paintings of a women-only life class at the Académie Julian, the leading international school for women artists at the time. The painting – pictured right – was bought by the North Carolina Museum of Art for a ‘high fivefigure sum’.
