ONE of Sidney Nolan's famous paintings of Ned Kelly, First-Class Marksman, last night sold for $5.4 million, making it the most expensive Australian artwork ever sold at auction.
The anonymous buyer, who did their bidding over the phone, outlasted two other parties to secure the work, which Nolan painted in 1946, for $4.5 million not including the 20 per cent buyer's premium of $900,000.
The purchase easily eclipsed the previous Australian art auction record of $3.48 million for Brett Whiteley's The Olgas for Ernest Giles, which last changed hands in 2007.
Bidding for the Nolan work last night started at $3 million, in front of more than 200 people at Menzies Arts Brands in Sydney.
At the first major art auction of the year, 217 lots were for sale, including John Brack's Adagio, John Perceval's Scudding Swans and Brett Whiteley's oft-traded View from the Sitting Room Window, Lavender Bay.
