Though born in Germany, Auerbach was primarily a London painter, with this painting being a prime example of how he used the city as a subject. Mornington Crescent is a street in Camden Town, just around the corner from Albert Street, where Auerbach had his studio. Though the painting uses the earth tones typical of Auerbach\u2019s work, it also creates a patchwork of blues, greens, and purples to represent the neighborhood, dotted with Georgian buildings, 1930s factories, and other structures from various eras. Auerbach finished the painting in 2005 and sold it through Marlborough Fine Art. Christie\u2019s experts assigned the painting an estimate range of \u00a31.5 million to \u00a32 million. The hammer came down just barely within an estimate at \u00a31.6 million (or \u00a32 million \/ $2.67 million w\/p).<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_57429\" style=\"width: 202px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_CKS_24315_0012_000lynn_chadwick_ra_back_to_venice041442-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57429\" class=\"wp-image-57429\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_CKS_24315_0012_000lynn_chadwick_ra_back_to_venice041442-252x300.jpg\" alt=\"A bronze sculpture of two bronze figures sitting on a bench.\" width=\"192\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_CKS_24315_0012_000lynn_chadwick_ra_back_to_venice041442-252x300.jpg 252w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_CKS_24315_0012_000lynn_chadwick_ra_back_to_venice041442-860x1024.jpg 860w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_CKS_24315_0012_000lynn_chadwick_ra_back_to_venice041442-768x914.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_CKS_24315_0012_000lynn_chadwick_ra_back_to_venice041442-1291x1536.jpg 1291w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_CKS_24315_0012_000lynn_chadwick_ra_back_to_venice041442-1721x2048.jpg 1721w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 192px) 100vw, 192px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-57429\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Back to Venice<\/em> by Lynn Chadwick<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Next up was the large bronze sculpture <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Back to Venice<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> by Lynn Chadwick. Created in 1988 and measuring over nine feet tall, Chadwick created the sculpture for the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. Chadwick initially exhibited at the biennale in 1952, where the jarring, angular designs of not only Chadwick but also of other post-war British sculptors like Reg Butler and Eduardo Paolozzi led art critic Herbert Read to name these artists &#8220;the Geometry of Fear&#8221;. Though the eight artists featured in the pavilion worked in widely different styles, Read recognized that these artists created work that appeared battered and unpolished, expressing the anxieties and fears of young people in a post-war world. Thirty-six years later, Chadwick was invited back to Venice to create something for the gardens just outside the British Pavilion. Christie\u2019s specialists refer to <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Back to Venice<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> as \u201cone of Chadwick\u2018s most recognisable and resolved achievements.\u201d The sculpture has been in the same collection since 1998 and has not been exhibited since 2004. Christie\u2019s specialists predicted it would sell for between \u00a31 million and \u00a31.5 million. The final bid landed nicely in between, at \u00a31.3 million (or \u00a31.64 million \/ $2.18 million w\/p).<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_57430\" style=\"width: 208px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_CKS_24315_0013_000dame_barbara_hepworth_curved_form041554-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57430\" class=\"wp-image-57430\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_CKS_24315_0013_000dame_barbara_hepworth_curved_form041554-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"A carved wooden sculpture in an abstract shape.\" width=\"198\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_CKS_24315_0013_000dame_barbara_hepworth_curved_form041554-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_CKS_24315_0013_000dame_barbara_hepworth_curved_form041554-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_CKS_24315_0013_000dame_barbara_hepworth_curved_form041554-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_CKS_24315_0013_000dame_barbara_hepworth_curved_form041554-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_CKS_24315_0013_000dame_barbara_hepworth_curved_form041554-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026_CKS_24315_0013_000dame_barbara_hepworth_curved_form041554-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 198px) 100vw, 198px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-57430\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Curved Form<\/em> by Dame Barbara Hepworth<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">And in third place was an elegant sculpture by Dame Barbara Hepworth.

The previous year, she had been the subject of several exhibitions, most notably in New York and at the S\u00e3o Paulo Biennial. Following this, she decided to turn away from bronze and more towards hand-carved wood sculpture. The example offered at Christie\u2019s is made from a piece of walnut over eighteen inches high, with some sides treated with liming to alter the color. The grain of the wood becomes just as much part of the artwork as the shape.
