    NORTHERN RHYTHM BY JOHN LUKE  UPDATE: THIS MADE £187,500

    A painting by John Luke considered by the artist to be his best work comes up at Sotheby’s Irish art auction in London on September 27. Luke remarked of the work, titled Northern Rhythm: “No painting has so much or so deeply expressed my own particular type or state of mind as Northern Rhythm”.

    Now estimated at £100,000-150,000 it was originally purchased from the artist in 1965.  Sotheby’s say that their sale on September 27 includes many examples of works that are either making their first appearance at auction or were last seen many years ago.  Other highlands include Sir John Lavery’s The Summit of the Jungfrau, Railway Refreshment Room by Jack B. Yeats and a newly discovered Yeats entitled A Fortune,  Mary Swanzy’s Sun on the Sails and Colin Middletons The Life Everlasting.
