In July, Sotheby's is auctioning a
collection of watercolors by British artist J.M.W. Turner that could bring in as much as £15 million ($29.4 million). Turner is the artist behind Britain's most expensive paintings, with an auction record of £20.5 million. His highest priced individual piece was
The Blue Rigi (pictured), which sold for £5.8 million last year. This particular collection was assembled by Baron Guy Ullens, a Belgian collector of the painter's works, who is planning on switching the focus of his art holdings to Chinese contemporary art.
