LONDON.- A London scene by English artist Christopher Wood (1901-1930), entitled Skating at Hampstead, 1929, is to be sold at Bonhams, New Bond Street, as part of its 20th Century British Art sale on 30 June 2010. It has been estimated at £50,000 – 70,000. The picture was bought by the present owner from the Redfern Gallery in 1955. Christopher Wood, who tragically died at the age of 29, is best known for his coastal scenes, paintings of Breton, largely considered to be his best, and still life pictures. This scene of Hampstead in London is unusual. The sale features three other works by Wood, including a significant still life painting, depicting flowers fruit and a clay pipe, Still Life with Flowers, Fruit and a Clay Pipe (estimate £100,000 – 150,000). The clay pipe, which occupies the bottom left hand corner of the picture, appears in a number of Wood’s works, including Flowers on a Chair with Pipe and Paper,
