A Vincent van Gogh landscape “Vue de l’asile et de la Chapelle de Saint-Remy” (De la Faille 803, Hulsker 2124) and other paintings from the collection of Liz Taylor are up for auction in London next month. Estimate: UKP 5-7,000,000.

In my opinion even more exciting is a wonderful Van Gogh drawing in the same sale, though not from the estate of the late Taylor. It is “Pollard Willow” (De La Faille 947; Hulsker 164) a watercolour executed in The Hague on 27 July 1882, and one of the few high-quality watercolours by Van Gogh still in private hands.

It will be offered for sale on 7 February 20912 at Christie’s in London in the Impressionist / Modern Evening Sale. The estimate: UKP 1,2-1,600,000. I will be following it closely!
