" Lowry painting sells for ten times the original price"
The Thames from Whitehall Court (22 inchesx26 inches oil on canvas) by L.S.Lowry, recently sold for £520,000
Although less sought after than his views of the northern industrial heartland,
this work made a sizeable return for the vendor whose husband had purchased it in 1987 for £22,000.
A ten-fold real-terms increase over the 22 year period suggests
that Lowry has easily out performed both the FTSE 100 and the property market.
