PAINTINGS IN DEMAND

£950 Worth Sold At Exhibition To Date

At the annual exhibition of the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts last year the value of the entries sold amounted altogether to £lO5l. This year that record will be equalled or excelled, for with only one week gone, the sales m ad® have amounted to £950, and there is still the money represented in the prizes in the public art union to be expended in paintings. This is considered to be very satisfactory, fully justifying the belief that the public is gradually becoming art conscious, and appreciative of the work of the country’s own artists The latest sales are as follows: Ino Road Round the Mountain” (Ida Else). “Murgatroyd’s Barn” (A.
