.- A private collection of Scottish paintings received the white glove treatment at Lyon & Turnbull in Edinburgh on February 25. The sale of 75 works offered under the banner A Celtic Vision was 100% sold with the total doubling the pre-sale estimate.
Nick Curnow, Head of Scottish Art at Lyon & Turnbull commented: Our vendor is delighted. The level of interest from bidders was thrilling and some of the sums paid were in excess of retail. It shows once again that Scottish paintings sell best in Scotland.

Ordinarily, celebrating the 150th anniversary of Scottish Colourist Samuel Peploe’s birth would be a fairly straightforward exercise for Lesley-Anne Lettice and the team at Kirkcaldy Art Gallery. This year, however nothing is straightforward and the showcase of the well-known artist’s work has been prepared as an online treat for art lovers.
As Lesley-Anne points out, “As an organisation lockdown has encouraged ONFife to engage with our audiences in new, and ever more creative ways. Most of what we do – from borrowing a library book, to visiting an exhibition, – involved people coming into our venues. We’ve had to move all of that online.”
