Wednesday, December 9th, 2009A REMBRANDT masterpiece not seen in public for 40 years has sold for a record £20.2 million ($A36.28 million) at auction.
The price was the highest for a “Rembrandt in Auction”, the spokesman said. It catched a record price of 18 Million pounds.
Another piece that has been sold is a drawing by Raphael: “Head of a Muse”, sold for 29,2 Million pounds, which should be the record for the highest priced work on paper.
Experts argue due to Christmas the affinity to buy expensive on auctions is higher, as well as the consistent scare during Recession is increasing the number of collectors and those buying from established artists, rather than newcomer.

Rory Nugent: New Paintings of Devon and the Hebrides at The Air Gallery
Saturday, October 17th, 2009A new exhibition opens next week at The Air Gallery – a collection of new paintings by Rory Nugent of the Hebrides and Devon.
Born in 1971, Rory trained at the Royal College of Art. He works in oil paint on slate, wood and canvas, describing his paintings as ‘enclosed fragments’ representing the elemental beauty of land, sea and sky, capturing the abstract serenity and simplicity of what he sees in Nature. This new work reflects the insularity of the artist in the landscape, each image depicting nature as a wild entity in itself – in his words ‘unhumanised, sublime and untamed’.
He has shown his work in numerous group and solo shows including Cork Street, The Barbican Centre and The Royal Academy. Rory lives and works in Devon.
The exhibition is open each day from 10:00am-6:00pm Monday 19th until Friday 23rd October, and on Saturday 24th October from 11:00am-4:00pm.
Rory’s work can be seen at www.rorynugent.co.uk and contacted at info@rorynugent.co.uk
