Sotheby’s has now announced it is offering for sale 17 iPad drawing prints from that series, The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate.
Yessica Marks, the head of prints at Sotheby’s, said selling iPad prints was relatively rare and to have so many in one auction was nothing short of remarkable.

The prints being sold by Sotheby’s come from a single collection and are being sold individually, with estimates ranging from £80,000-£120,000 to £120,000-£180,000.
