Modern British and Irish Art

Christie’s Modern British and Irish Art sales present a broad and exemplary sample of the innovative achievements and stylistic movements of the 20th century, from British Impressionism to Post-War abstraction and Pop Art. Highlights include a Stanley Spencer oil painting from the Christ Preaching at the Cookham Regatta series, a pre-war John Piper abstract, a mid-1930s townscape by L.S. Lowry and a dynamic multi-figure scene by John Lavery as well as paintings and drawings by the century’s most sought after British artists.
