“(Deutscher + Hackett’s) offerings include a ripper John Peter Russell, Portrait of
Dodge Macknight, dating from around 1887 – which won praise from
Vincent van Gogh – and Brett Whiteley’s Vincent,…. The Whiteley is estimated at
$ 1 million-plus and the Russell closer to $ 200,000 – but it was the Russell that
was the talk of the town, even winning praise from rival auctioneers.”
