A PIECE of art by South Cumbria's Turner Prize winner Keith Tyson could make up to £60,000 at auction.

Mr Tyson, who was born in Ulverston and brought up in Dalton, is probably the county's most expensive living artist when his works come up for sale.

The Ketterer Hunst sale at Munich, Germany, from Wednesday to Saturday, has two very different examples of Tyson's work.

The first is one of a series of studio wall drawings which says "Hedge Fund Manager" and is dated August 1 in 2007 along the top.

It is in mixed media on watercolour paper and is expected to sell for £8,500 to £12,500.

If your pockets are rather deeper, there is what the saleroom describes as a Geno pheno painting, done in two parts with acrylic on aluminium.

It is called Two Curves and is expected to sell for£40,000 to £60,000.

Two Curves was produced in 2004 for an exhibition at The haunch of Venison, London.

It was also displayed at New York before being bought by a private collector.

Mr Tyson was a fitter and Turner at Barrow shipyard before studying art and becoming a successful full-time studio artist based in London and Sussex.

He won Britain's best known art award, The Turner Prize, in 2002.
