Bidding is moving quickly, however there are a number of brilliant pieces which are still available for minimal prices.

John Hoyland- Lot 1 in the Live Auction, Estimate £300-500

My top tip for the online auction is Zoe Rubens Hermoine. Bidding for this piece is currently at £210- a mere 10% of its normal value.It's a fabulous piece of sculpture also and a great example of Zoe Ruben's best work. Place bids on it online here .
