Winston Churchill Painting for New York Auction
Published April 3rd, 2008
A painting by Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965) is going to the auction block in New York City, April 23rd.
While Churchill is universally known for his leadership of Great Britain during WWII and his historic, often awe-inspiring speeches, it is a less-known fact that he was also a prolific and gifted painter.
The sale will be on preview at Bonhams & Butterfields in San Francisco April 11-13. The New York preview opens on April 19th and continues through the 22nd, the auction taking place in New York City and simulcast to the San Francisco gallery on April 23rd. This will be one of the first sales to take place in the auctioneer’s new Manhattan showroom at 580 Madison Avenue, slated to open earlier in the month. The illustrated auction catalog will be online for review and purchase at www.bonhams.com/us.
