Borders strikes gold

An equine sculpture gilded in 24 carat gold led the charge at a special online auction on 25 June, organised by Jedburgh auction house Brown & Turner and the Borders Art Fair to help contemporary artists from the Borders and beyond who had been affected by the lockdown. One of Frippy Jameson's bronze sculptures, Drum Horse in Gold, raced ahead of the other lots, selling for £7,296, the highest figure achieved on the night. More than 170 works by 48 artists were featured in the sale.
