An oil painting by Vu Cao Dam, one of the most influential artists in Vietnam in the 20th century, has been sold for £45,000 (1.55 billion VND) at London's Sloane Street Auctions. The oil painting, titled "Property of a Lady of Title," was the first Vietnamese artwork on auction at this distinguished auction house. It was on display at a solo exhibition of Dam in London in 1960, hosted by the prominent Frost & Reed Gallery. Born in 1908 in Hanoi to a well-off family, the fifth of fourteen children, the artist was influenced by French culture from a very young age. A graduate of the Hanoi College of Fine Arts, Vu Cao Dam was taught by French painters Victor Tardieu and Joseph Inguimberty. In 1931, he travelled to Paris on a scholarship to further his studies at the Ecole de Louvre. In 1949, he relocated with his family to southern France. VNA Photo: Minh Hợp
