There’s high drama in the saleroom at Christie’s as a mystery buyer pays nearly £14 million for an abstract work from 1920. Elsewhere, a souvenir photo album from the building of the Royal yacht Britannia provokes interest from both ship and royal collectors. And a collection of bucolic Victorian paintings that shows a green and pleasant land comes up for sale.
