County Rock (Wing Mirror) is one of Peter Doig's most recognisable works

Cheyenne Westphal, co-global head of contemporary art at Sotheby's, commented: "The rainbow tunnel is one of the most prominent and resonant motifs in Doig's oeuvre.

"For lovers of Doig, it has a supreme status - akin only perhaps to that of the canoe - and of all the works in which the motif appears, the Country-Rock series is the apogee.

"Doig is a giant in the current market, and this particular work is fabled. Its appearance at auction represents an all-time first - and hugely exciting - opportunity for collectors."

The lot is likely to exceed the artist's current record, which was set at $11.9m for Road House in May this year.

The sale will also feature Francis Bacon's Three Studies for a Portrait of George Dyer.
