As part of Cilla Black's estate, Sotheby's will be offering at auction three paintings by L S Lowry, with a total guide price of £830k. The first is an oil on canvas portrait of the artist in his studio which was painted between 1904 and 1907 when he was aged just 25. Two of the paintings, Family Group and The Spire, were bought by the couple in the 1970s, while The Black Church was given by Bobby to Cilla as a 50th birthday present, and a play on her name. The Modern & Post-War British Art sale will take place at Sotheby's in London on 13 June.
