Bidding Battle for a Rare Kossoff Painting Sets New World Record | Sothebys

Ten bidders battled it out over Leon Kossoff’s rare swimming pool painting, which made a splash at £5 million at Sothebys London in the Modern and Contemporary Evening Auction, presented by Sotheby's International Realty.

‘Children’s Swimming Pool, 11 o’clock Saturday Morning, August’ is one of five works from Kossoff’s series depicting Willesden’s public pool. Part of the storied Lewis Collection, it’s a monumental yet intimate image of community and modern life.
