A series of paintings by Vettriano were sold at a Sotheby’s auction held at the Gleneagles Hotel for more than £1M.
The eight paintings sold at auction featured three from the iconic Bluebird series that were originally painted in 1996 for Terence Conran’s Bluebird Club in London and were inspired by the life and achievements of Sir Malcolm Campbell who broke the land and water speed records in his Bluebird vehicles during the 1920’s and 1930’s.
Images of all seven paintings from the Bluebird Collecrtion may be viewed on the Exhibitions pages of this website.
The sale of Bluebird at Bonneville was the second highest price achieved for a Vettriano after the Singing Butler fetched £744,500 in 2004.
