Attenborough Art Is An Auction Hit
British moviemaker LORD ATTENBOROUGH's art collection has been a big hit at auction in London, doubling the pre-sale estimates.
The 50 pieces of British art went under the hammer at Sotheby's on Wednesday (11Nov09) with experts expecting the whole lot to go for between $3 and $4.8 million (£1.9-£2.9 million) - the paintings fetched $7.4 million (£4.6 million).
The highlight of the sale was L.S. Lowry's Old Houses, which went under the hammer for $1.4 million (£881,000).
