The U.K. Guardian reports on this week’s sale of drawings in Dorchester that includes a David Hockney portrait sketch of Peter Schlesinger, and “is expected to fetch up to £15,000.”
“The portrait, along with another Hockney sketch, a pencil drawing by Henri Matisse valued at up to £40,000, and etchings by Picasso and Lucian Freud worth between £30,000 and £25,000, have been owned by a private collector in Wiltshire since the 1970s, who is described by auctioneer Guy Schwinge as having ‘a refined eye’.”
