More Royal Academy statistics
Thanks to a very kind student from our school (who didn’t want to be credited) we have more very interesting statistics about the paintings on show at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. He noted that there were 141 paintings on show in the Small Western Room (you know the popular one filled with little paintings), of which 30 of the 32 landscapes were sold. All of the 8 animal paintings sold, as did all 7 flower paintings. All other subject matter sold between 80 and 90% except for Portraits which only sold 2 of the 8 on show.
Also very interesting is the fact that in the Small Western Room, only 5 of the 14 paintings by RA members sold, possibly because their prices were higher. The majority of paintings sold between £500 and £1500.
Invaluable information for anyone thinking of entering work next year. Thank you very much Mr Anonymous!
