Peter Howson OBE, one of Britain’s most renowned artist’s, and his former wife are to sell 390 fantastic pieces from the personal collection he gave to her later this month.

McTear’s have been busy getting organised for this sale, with the art world focusing on Glasgow after the news that the single largest sale of works from internationally acclaimed Scottish artist Peter Howson is coming to town.

The 390 works that are to go under the hammer, including paintings, drawings and sketches, is a collection of a diverse mix of Howson’s work. In the collection will be pieces from every significant period of Howson’s career which are being put up for sale by Terry to raise money to help look after their daughter Lucie, who suffers from Aspergers syndrome.



The eclectic collection will include many of his sought after pieces including all ten original drawings of pop icon David Bowie which are valued between £1000 and £2000. It will also include rare sketches of Madonna and a number of extremely early drawings that he did of his teachers at primary school.
