Tube Station, a limited edition print by English artist Cyril Edward Power, is to cross the auction block at Bonhams London on July 16.
|
Estimated at £40,000-60,000 ($62,000-93,000), the linocut is numbered 49/60 in pencil.
Whence and Whither, a modernist lino-print by Power, brought £97,250 ($149,021) to Bonhams in April 2013.
The dramatic print, which features floods of people descending into London Underground's subterranean underworld, communicates something of the uniformity and monotony inherent in the daily commute.
A second version of the artist's Tube Station, numbered 60/60, made £61,250 ($93,852) at the same sale.
