BBC News, 13 April, 2008 An auction of paintings from the collection of the late Devon artist Robert Lenkiewicz, has made £2.1m, more than twice the estimate.
The 532 lots from the artist's estate were sold at Westpoint, near Exeter, to clear debts.
The top price of £170,000 was paid for the 36ft-long (11m) canvas depicting The Temptation of St Antony. Auctioneer Richard Bearne said: "For a long time Lenkiewicz was thought to be a South West artist, but since his death he has grown in stature. Some critics were quite sceptical about his work when he died, but I think they have been proved wrong. Prices are increasing all the time for his work."
