Five Turner works to be auctioned on 250th anniversary of painter's birth
Christie's auction company, which sold a Turner watercolour for £5.8 million in 2006, will present several of his works for auction this July.
Among the pieces being sold is a watercolour titled, Lake Brienz, With The Setting Moon, during the Old Masters Evening Sale on July 1. It is estimated to fetch between £600,000 and £800,000.
There is also View Of Stoke House, which carries an estimated selling price of £20,000 to £30,000, and depicts a figure sketching what is thought to be a self-portrait in the foreground.
This piece, along with two others will be put for sale as part of the Old Masters, 19th Century Paintings And Drawings From A Private Collection: Selling Without Reserve event taking place on July 2.
Another of the pieces in this sale depicts the Cornish coastline around Pendennis Castle and carries an estimated selling price of £60,000 to £100,000.
One other Turner work, a pencil and watercolour on paper, will be part of Christie's Old Masters To Modern Day Sale: Paintings, Drawing Sculpture, also taking place on July 2.
These sales are part of Christie's Classic Week, which forms part of the auction company's programme of events for its London summer season.
Earlier in the year Tate Britain announced it would celebrate the 250th anniversary of Turner's birth with a new room showcasing his work and also said it would open a new video installation about Turner's travels across Europe, among other things.
Every other year the gallery hosts a prize ceremony for a prestigious contemporary art award named after the painter which is awarded to a British artist annually.

Michael Rider unveils a debut bourgeois and rock collection at Celine
Paris - A new chapter opens at Celine. American designer Michael Rider, successor to Hedi Slimane, unveiled his first collection on Sunday in Paris. The spring wardrobe had chic, bourgeois accents tinged with a rock touch. 'Returning to Celine in a changed world has been a deeply moving experience for me. It has also been an immense joy,' said the designer, a former collaborator of ex-creative director Phoebe Philo (2008-2018), in a statement. The French fashion house, according to Rider, embodies 'quality, timelessness and style'. These are 'ideals difficult to grasp' that he wanted to translate into this collection. Large wool coats split at the back; very slim or carrot trousers for men and women; diamond-patterned jumpers; fitted blazers; and leather jackets make up this mixed-gender spring 2026 wardrobe. Elegant evening dresses and short fur jackets complete the collection. As for accessories, the ties are striped in the style of Oxford students. Wide trousers are worn tucked into soft leather boots. There are also many flat shoes in a Zizi Richelieu style. Belts are wide. Bags are imposing. Silk scarves are omnipresent. Jewellery is flashy and plentiful. The entire collection comes in a neutral palette of khaki, sand, white and black, interspersed with touches of bright colours, including green, red and very deep blues. After Slimane's filmed shows, Rider brought Celine back to the catwalk. The show took place at the brand's headquarters in central Paris. Part of the show was outdoors, despite the pouring rain, on the eve of the start of Haute Couture Week. Anna Wintour, who, despite the announcement of her recent departure from the editorial leadership of American Vogue, confirms her nickname of 'Pope of Fashion', was in the front row. She sat alongside Jonathan Anderson, the new creative director of Dior, another LVMH brand. Rider was design director under Philo at Celine. He has also worked at Balenciaga and Polo Ralph Lauren. He took over from Slimane immediately after his departure in October 2024. Slimane was creative director of Dior Homme from 2000 to 2007, then of Saint Laurent from 2012 to 2016. The French designer was appointed in 2018, replacing Philo. He shook up the bourgeois look forged by the Briton by injecting a rock vibe. This article was translated to English using an AI tool.
