Callum Innes, Untitled 2009
Lyon and Turnbull's 'Contemporary & Post-War Art' sale tomorrow looks to be a very exciting day at the Edinburgh sale room. Kick off is at 11am and there is a wide range of pieces on offer. As ever there are pieces by a few of my favourites; Norman Edgar, John Cunningham, George Devlin, Alexander Goudie to name but a few. Silk screen prints of Marilyn Munro and an untitled piece by Callum Innes really bring the sale to life.
There are a few Bellany's to choose from - however I think that the example below stands out at £2,000 - 3,000.
John Bellany, Ship In Harbour
My favourite and star of the sale are these pair by Sarah Morris. Estimated at £700-900 anyone can have a bash at bidding and the saleroom will no doubt get very exciting! These silkscreen prints are exactly what younger generations want to decorate their interiors. The presence they command in a room by taking up just enough wall space lets us express ourselves without having to take things too far, feel too 'arty', 'edgy' or 'alternative'.

Check the sale out below and see what you like. Buying at auction is a lot cheaper than paying retail in a gallery so you never know what you may be able to afford!
