Comment Art auction
Property comes in many shapes and sizes, and it is not just land or bricks and mortar. In the simplest sense property means ‘something owned’, and that applies to art just as much as a house.

The art world is buzzing at the prospect of three sales by Christie’s in July and September of art and property from Cowdray Park. In July Christie’s expect a painting by Thomas Gainsborough to fetch a new record for the artist of between £4 million and £6 million at one of two auctions at their London showrooms. In September the sales move to Cowdray where more than 1,000 pieces of property from the Pearson family collection will go under the hammer – priced from £100 to £250,000. The three auctions are expected to raise £10 million. In the housing market, we review property in the park from Winchester to the A3. This special area may receive a new boost in July with the opening of the Hindhead road tunnel, which marks the long-awaited completion of the A3 dual carriageway from London to the south coast.
