The headline act of Andy Warhol and Mick Jagger saved the day at Menzies’ second annual prints and multiples sale in Sydney last week. Warhol’s bold 1975 screenprint of the pouty British rock star sold for $85,000 (hammer), the top price realised in the Menzies sale.

There were great expectations for Tracey Moffatt’s Body Remembers, 2017, from the Balnaves Collection, a complete suite of ten digital images, which Menzies had estimated at $350,000 to $450,000. It was the auction’s cover lot, but disappointingly failed to sell. Despite this, Menzies was still able to claim the highest-value prints and multiples auction held in Australia, with a total sales figure of $1.04 million, including buyer’s fees.
