Exciting Art Auction Happening At Sotheby's

The Sothebys auction house in London is scheduled to have its art auction on twentieth century British art in June. Sotheby's has been known to feature impeccable art auction finds and its online catalog features an extensive list of art pieces that will soon be turned up at auction.

While browsing the Sotheby's online catalog, there appeared a signed painting named South Façade of St. Jacques created by the artist Sickert. The catalog also listed that Sotheby's will be auctioning off a watercolor painting created by artist Gwen John. Thunder in the Mountains, another magnificent watercolor painting created by artist James Dickson Innes is another must see at the Sotheby's auction event.

The watercolor art piece was painted in 1910 in the breathtaking mountains of North Wales. Artist John Piper's amazing watercolor painting entitled Broomswade is an art piece to die for. William Turnbull's marvelous painting is another piece that you might want to bid.

Sotheby's will also have Poppies by artist Ivon Hithchens on its auction block. Sotheby's will also have many other fantastic pencil art items to be held for auction.
