Auction

How much can a copy of a painting be worth? But what if the copy is by the original artist? Sotheby’s are selling The Lock by John Constable, a replica of the original by Constable himself. He liked it so much that he kept it in his studio until his death. But will it make eight to twelve million pounds? Elsewhere, a replica of Ralph Lauren’s 1930s Mercedes-Benz goes under the hammer.
