A breathtaking waterlily painting by Claude Monet was today added to one of the most anticipated series of high-end art sales for years. Both Christie's and Sothebys are set to sell some exceptional works at their June sales of impressionist and modern art.
Christie's, announcing the addition of the French painter's Nymphéas (1906) to its catalogue, said its 23 June art auction would be the most valuable ever take place in London. The painting has an estimate – arguably a conservative one – of between £30-40m. The estimates of all 63 works in the sale add up to £163m-£231m
