These sales often do fairly well, but that is not always a foregone conclusion. This one, I believe, was a great success for Christie\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Christie\u2019s expected two lots to sell for \u00a31 million or more, and they respectively became the first and second place lot of the evening. Frank Auerbach\u2019s 1961 oil painting <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nude on Bed III<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> made its auction debut on Wednesday. The work is incredibly rare to appear at auction since it has been in the same private collection since 1962. Its previous owner, Moyra Campbell, was the daughter of the Duke of Abercorn and served as a lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth\u2019s cousin, Princess Alexandra. <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nude on Bed III<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> has only been exhibited once apart from the show at London\u2019s Beaux Arts Gallery, where Campbell purchased the painting. Having passed away in 2020, Campbell\u2019s family consigned the Auerbach to Christie\u2019s, anticipating it to make between \u00a3700K and \u00a31 million. The painting slightly exceeded expectations, hammering at \u00a31.2 million \/ $1.56 million (or \u00a31.49 million \/ $1.9 million w\/p).<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_56157\" style=\"width: 201px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2014_CKS_01543_0032_000lynn_chadwick_ra_sitting_couple_on_bench061239-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56157\" class=\"wp-image-56157\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2014_CKS_01543_0032_000lynn_chadwick_ra_sitting_couple_on_bench061239-219x300.jpg\" alt=\"A bronze sculpture of a pair of abstract figures sitting down.\" width=\"191\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2014_CKS_01543_0032_000lynn_chadwick_ra_sitting_couple_on_bench061239-219x300.jpg 219w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2014_CKS_01543_0032_000lynn_chadwick_ra_sitting_couple_on_bench061239-749x1024.jpg 749w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2014_CKS_01543_0032_000lynn_chadwick_ra_sitting_couple_on_bench061239-768x1050.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2014_CKS_01543_0032_000lynn_chadwick_ra_sitting_couple_on_bench061239-1123x1536.jpg 1123w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2014_CKS_01543_0032_000lynn_chadwick_ra_sitting_couple_on_bench061239-1498x2048.jpg 1498w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2014_CKS_01543_0032_000lynn_chadwick_ra_sitting_couple_on_bench061239-scaled.jpg 1872w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 191px) 100vw, 191px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-56157\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Sitting Couple on Bench<\/em> by Lynn Chadwick<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While the Auerbach exceeded its pre-sale estimate, the anticipated first-place lot ended up in second.

Some bidders at Christie\u2019s that day seemed to disagree with this assessment, as several interested parties continued to bid on the painting until it sold for over five times its high estimate.
