Success at the Michaelis Alumni and Staff Art auction

The Michaelis School of Fine Art hosted its much talked about Alumni and Staff Auction in aid of bursaries and scholarships at the school. Stephan Welz, Managing Director of Strauss & Co and his team auctioned off ninety lots of work by prestigious and up and coming artists, raising a substantial sum with which the art school will establish a fund to support talented and needy students' studies. This was the first time that the school hosted an auction of this magnitude, with work generously donated by such a large number and range of former graduates, with many lots being bid off at well above the catalogue estimate.
