    CAMILLE SOUTER CREDITED WITH EXTRAORDINARY BODY OF WORK

    Sunday, March 5th, 2023
    Camille Souther (1929-2023) – First into Calabria

    First into Calabria by Camille Souter sold for a hammer price of €18,000 at the James Adam sale of Important Irish Art in Dublin on May 1. The artist died on March 3 aged 93. This mixed media work, signed and dated 1962, had a top estimate of €15,000 and was previously in the collection of Sir Basil Goulding. It was exhibited in a show of 12 Irish Painters in New York in 1963. Another work by Souter in the same sale, Red Achill, made a hammer price of €10,000 over a top estimate of 8,000. Born in the UK and brought up in Ireland, Camille Souter trained as a nurse in London before turning to painting in the 1950s and exhibited extensively from the 1960s onwards. She is credited with having produced an extraordinary body of work over nearly 70 years.

    Adams sale brought in €1.25 million and was headed by Orpen’s portrait of Yvonne Aupicq as a nun which made €125,000 over a top estimate of €50,000 after a battle between seven bidders. It went to a UK based agent.

    Building Tops by Christy Brown sold for 1,600

    Paul Henry topped the poll at Whyte’s sale of Irish and international art.  His Kerry Bog sold for a hammer price of 66,000 in a sale that grossed 580,000 with 79% of 209 lots sold.  Whyte’s worries that the political instability in Ireland due to the inconclusive general election results might affect the market proved to be unfounded.  The second highest lot was another Henry, Cabins by a Lough which made 54,000.  An untitled Miro from 1973 made 20,000 at hammer, Cecil Maguire’s Early Light, Lough Inagh made a strong 9,000, as did Summer Yachting by James Humbert Craig. Harry Kernoff’s Western Colleen made 8,800 and Wild Ponies, Connemara by Patrick Hennessy sold for 7,500.  Other artists in demand included Camille Souter, Patrick Scott, George Campbell, John Skelton, Markey Robinson and Christy Brown.
