"OOR WULLIE, YOUR WULLIE, A CHILLY WULLIE"

Lot 5 in our Contemporary Art Sale is a timeless oil on canvas by Graham McKean titled "OOR WULLIE, YOUR WULLIE, A CHILLY WULLIE" and is estimated to sell for between £2000 & £3000. McKean is a popular artist at McTear's and in May 2011 we sold his oil on canvas of Oor Wullie on holiday which according to D.C. Thomson (the publishers of the Sunday Post), was the very first time he’s ever been depicted in a fine art painting. 

The piece was estimated at between £2500 and £3500 but created such a buzz that it was sold on the day for £4800.
