Piers Browne's study of Woodcock in Wensleydale on a summer evening fetched £950 when it went under the hammer at auction of contemporary art held last Saturday by Tennants of Leyburn in Yorkshire. This was well above the pre-sale estimate of £400 - £600. Earlier in proceedings his intense but slightly disturbing study of a new moon and Swallows, also set in Wensleydale, sold for £300 which was at the lowest end of the £300- £600 pre-sale guide price. A prolific artist who staged many one-man exhibitions, Browne died peacefully at home on July 8 last year. He was 74.
