​A Damien Hirst first edition book is among auction items up for sale in Gloucestershire tomorrow. (Thurs)

Collectable artwork from the past two centuries will be sold at independent auction house Dominic Winter, near Cirencester.

The auction will also feature Dorothea Sharp and Gillian Ayres oil paintings, estimated to sell between £15,000 to £20,000, and £6,000 to £8,000, respectively.

Dominic Winter's Lynne Shipley said: “There is a huge cross-section of works on sale and a lot of interest has been shown.

“We expect the Damien Hirst and Dorothea Sharp items to sell particularly well.”

The specialist auction house, in South Cerney, held its first private viewing this week with more than 50 art dealers.

Lynne said: “The evening included both existing dealers and new dealers from all over the county.

“It was a very successful evening and something we are looking to repeat in the future.

“The current climate has affected sales slightly, but we’re hoping for an eventful few days.”

The Damien Hirst book, published in 1997, is entitled I want to Spend the Rest of My Life Everywhere, with Everyone, One to One, Always, Forever, Now.

The sale takes place tomorrow at 11am and viewing is available throughout today.
