London, Oct 19 (AFP\/APP):L.S. Lowry’s “Going To The Match”, one of the most iconic paintings of 20th century British art, sold at auction Wednesday for a record-breaking \u00a37.85 million ($8.81 million).<\/p>\n

The 1953 artwork features Lowry’s emblematic stick figures set in an industrial landscape of northwest England — in this case, a crowd of people heading to a football match in Bolton.<\/p>\n

The sale by Christie’s in London broke the record for a work by Lowry, who died in 1976.<\/p>\n

Without fees, the price came to \u00a36.6 million for its seller, the charitable foundation of the Professional Footballers’ Association.<\/p>\n

It was bought by The Lowry arts centre in Manchester, ensuring the painting will remain in Britain and accessible to the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
