A White Glove Moment and a Fitting Tribute
On Tuesday 10 March, Dreweatts had the honour of offering at auction the personal collection of Dame Stephanie “Steve” Shirley CH (1933-2025) which was being sold to benefit Autistica, the UK’s leading autism research and campaigning charity, founded by her in 2004.
The auction, Dame Stephanie Shirley CH: A Legacy shaped by Technology, Philanthropy and Art, achieved a 100% sell through rate realising £1,127,000 in total.
Commenting on the results, Head of the House Sales and Private Collections Department Joe Robinson said "Dame Stephanie's collection was defined by a clarity of taste and the confidence to live with exceptional works. Every piece reflected her belief in the therapeutic value of art and how it integrates into daily life. The remarkable result is a fitting tribute to an extraordinary woman whose vision and generosity enriched the lives of so many."
