Sotheby’s is to auction selected works of art from British Airways’ lounges around the world as the airline seeks to raise funds to survive the impact of COVID-19.

Standout works include “Cool Edge” by Bridget Riley which is valued up to £1.2m and will be auctioned amongst works from other collectors at a “Rembrandt to Richter” auction on Tuesday 28 July 2020.

Other items from the BA collection to be auctioned by Sotheby’s at future auctions this month include works by Damian Hirst and Peter Doig. In total, 17 pieces will be auctioned from BA’s collection of 1,500 works of art. (No, you can’t earn Avios at Sotheby’s!)
