Auction houses embrace exhibitions to sell works
Australian artist Lisa Roet is rightly celebrated for the apes and monkeys she has sculpted over the past 35 years, often working in bronze or marble. Her work is achingly beautiful and alive with human connection.
Roet's Chimpanzee Finger, 2007, a bronze sculpture measuring 145 x 140 x 50 centimetres in an edition of six, just sold for $90,000 through Menzies auction house.
