In this auction a new record price was set for a work by Milan Mrkusich ($125 450) and strong prices were also achieved for high-profile lots including Colin McCahon?s Clouds No. 7 ($263 810) and Black White Landscape ($146 560), Michael Illingworth?s Fertile Fig and Timepieces ($137 750) and Ralph Hotere?s Vidyapati?s Song ($257 950).
