About Anne Redpath

Anne Redpath (1895–1965) was a Scottish painter recognized as one of the leading modern artists in twentieth-century Britain. Born in Galashiels in the Scottish Borders, she studied at the Edinburgh College of Art from 1913 to 1919 under Robert Burns, Henry John Lintott, and David McBeth Sutherland. After marrying the architect and painter James Beattie Michie, she spent part of her career active in Brussels before returning to Scotland. Redpath is widely associated with the flowering of Scottish modern painting in the mid-twentieth century, and her work is held in major public collections including the Tate. Collectors encounter her paintings at British and international auctions, where she is regarded as a significant figure in modern Scottish art.

Common works and media

Redpath is best known for oil paintings on canvas, including still lifes, interiors, landscapes, and church and street scenes. She also produced works on paper. Her subject matter often features tabletop arrangements of flowers and everyday objects, views of European towns and coastlines, and architectural subjects. Works range from small cabinet-scale paintings to larger canvases. Collectors may also encounter preparatory studies and drawings at auction.

Market and appraisal context

Anne Redpath maintains a well-established secondary market with 144 recorded auction lots spanning 2004 to late 2025, of which 86 carry realized prices. The dominant sales channel is major UK auction houses—Sotheby's, Christie's, and Bonhams account for the highest-value lots, with regional British firms such as Tennants, Dreweatts 1759, Gorringes, and Mallams providing additional liquidity. Her market is overwhelmingly GBP-denominated, concentrated in Post-War and Modern British Art and Scottish Paintings categories. Oil paintings on canvas from her mature period (1940s–1960s) dominate the upper price tier: the top recorded result is £112,500 for Summer Gaiety (Christie's, November 2016), followed by Still Life with Daffodils and Tulips at $90,000 (Heritage Auctions, December 2019) and Begonias at £53,340 (Sotheby's, June 2025). The median across all priced lots is £18,750, with the interquartile range spanning £3,750 to £53,340, reflecting a wide dispersion between prints or small works on paper at the low end and important oils at the high end. Prints and lithographs typically realise £100–£500; watercolours and gouaches generally fall between £1,000 and £3,000. Recent annual volume is thin—only 2 lots in the trailing 12 months and 1 in the prior 12 months—suggesting a selective rather than liquid market, where significant oils appear only when estate or collection dispersals occur.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Post-War and Modern British Art
  • Scottish Paintings

Value drivers

  1. Provenance and exhibition history, particularly works shown in Edinburgh or London galleries
  2. Medium and scale: oil paintings on canvas generally carry stronger demand than works on paper
  3. Subject matter and period: mature works from the 1940s–1960s tend to be more sought after than early pieces
  4. Medium: oil paintings on canvas command the strongest prices (£10,000–£112,500), while prints and lithographs typically realise £100–£500 and watercolours £1,000–£3,000
  5. Scale: larger canvases (48 cm and above) consistently outperform small cabinet paintings and works on paper
  6. Subject matter: still lifes with flowers and interiors are the most frequently traded and among the highest-priced subjects; Continental landscapes and harbour scenes also perform well

Appraisal caveats

  • No auction result sources were available in this source pack; specific price ranges cannot be established from the collected evidence alone.
  • Attribution should be confirmed against documented provenance, as unsigned or lightly documented works on paper may be harder to authenticate.
  • Price data mixes GBP and USD; the median and quartile figures are drawn from a mixed-currency set and should be interpreted directionally rather than as precise GBP estimates.
  • Only 86 of 144 recorded lots have realized prices, meaning roughly 40% of lots either went unsold or prices were not captured.
