“The 1960 painting of Piccadilly
Circus was sold at Christie's for £5,641,250 (including buyer's premium),
matching the previous record for Lowry's work set in May 2011 with the
sale of The Football Match, which also went for £5.6 million. Last night's sale
was also the joint highest world record in the category of 20th century British
and Irish art, the auction house said. The picture of the famous London
landmark went under the hammer at the evening sale as part of a collection of
14 works known as The Lord Forte Collection of Paintings by LS Lowry.”
