Deloitte Art Collection

Sale number: 197"One of the most extensive art collections to appear on the auction market in recent years. The Deloitte Art Collection has great strength and depth due to its acquisition of the former Arthur Andersen Art Collection in 2002, which was one of the first Corporate Art Collections to be formed in the United Kingdom." - Nick CurnowThe auction of Deloitte Collection of Modern &amp; Contemporary Art was a major event in the corporate art market. Sold by Lyon &amp; Turnbull at the Royal Academy in London in 2008, the auction attracted international interest and created several new auction records.Deloitte, a global finance services firm, no longer had suitable space to showcase its art after moving to new offices. Lyon &amp; Turnbull was invited to sell the extensive collection, which had been accumulated by the company over a 30 year time frame. One of the largest collections to appear on the market at the time, it was showcased at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/">The Royal Academy</a> in London; the result was a highly publicised auction that doubled pre-sale expectations by reaching a total of £870,000. Paul Roberts, Vice Chairman of Lyon and Turnbull, said, “Lyon &amp; Turnbull’s proposal for the prime location of the Royal Academy’s Burlington Gardens won convincingly as the most charismatic scheme and the one which would capture the imagination of collectors, dealers and the art world as a whole and reap the best result. This auction presented a unique opportunity for all to purchase important works from one of the most substantial corporate art collections ever assembled in this country.” The collection featured paintings, prints and photographs by a variety of artists, including John Hoyland, Gilbert and George, David Hockney, and Mark Quinn, to name a few.&nbsp;
