Lancashire artist’s 1958 painting expected to fetch up to £1.8m next month
In a clear case of life imitating art, a painting by LS Lowry depicting a packed auction house with the gavel about to come down on a sale is to be sold at Sotheby’s next month. It is estimated to reach up to £1.8m.
The Auction, a large-scale work completed in 1958, is one of only a handful of interior scenes by the Lancashire-born painter who became one of the UK’s most cherished artists.
