early 20th C Australian woman artist

More visits to  auctions has led to research on Alma Figuerola. Seven of her works were in a Gibson’s auction in October 2024.

There were a couple I could have been interested in buying, being listed under $1,000.

BUT – then amazing things happened. In the case of the one above, all I could do is watch in wonder as the hammer price crept up to a final $17,000.

As I said in a previous post, this interest in these Australian painters of the early  20th century is a new territory for us, especially Gael with her curatorial career in photography. The fun continues!
