British Art: The Jubilee Auction

I n recognition of Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, we are delighted to present a very special auction celebrating British art past and present. From Turner and Constable to Hockney and Banksy, the auction showcases Britain’s creative spirit. Over 70 years, The Queen has presided over much of modern Britain’s artistic revolution, and has served as both a subject and inspiration to artists. Bringing together major examples and hidden gems across four centuries of British art, we look forward to welcoming you to our New Bond Street galleries for this unique exhibition.
