Paintings, Pictures & Prints

Bishop & Miller’s Paintings, Pictures and Prints department covers a wide range of styles and periods spanning masters and the provincial in all aspects of art. Our fine paintings, pictures and prints auction takes place several times a year, however, we also curate special one-off single-artist auctions, which can be organised where needed.

Art & Artists

Works from all over the world spanning many centuries can be found at Bishop & Miller. Our Paintings, Pictures and Prints department handles significant works from the 16th to 21st centuries, sourced from prestigious estates, single-owner collections and private vendors.

These carefully curated auctions bring together leading artists alongside lesser-seen names, often attracting global interest from private collectors, trade clients and institutions. From earlier works, which tend to be dominated by portraits, through to 19th-century seascapes, landscapes, and other genres, you are bound to find something special in our fine art auctions.

We have secured strong hammer prices within this area at auction, often bolstered by our growing international client base. If you are looking to buy or sell oil paintings, antique prints and vintage photographs at auction, then the Bishop & Miller team are here to help.
