Lowry station painting set to depart to another owner - for £2m
His large frame, raincoat, and hat are familiar. The figure stood outside a railway station is L S Lowry.
The last train to stop there was the 23.21 from Manchester Victoria to Wigan on October 1, 1960. There were just six people on board, one of whom was a shopkeeper, Mr Jackson, a 37-year-old shopkeeper, from Chorley Road, Swinton, who bought the last ticket ever issued at Pendlebury Station. He bought it from porter, Mr D White, and it was a single to Swinton.
In 2015 The Railway Platform sold at auction for £1.6m - £300,000 above its then estimate. On Tuesday next week it will go under the hammer again at Christie's but with an estimate price of up to £2m. "The group of works presented in the upcoming Modern British and Irish Art season of auctions at Christie's present a full and varied range of subject matter, including commuters as they congregate on the platform; a rare view of Glasgow Docks; and Clock Tower, which is being offered from the collection of the Manchester Guardian's art critic Eric Newton."
