A life-size bronze statue of John Lennon currently located on Penny Lane in Liverpool is expected to sell for up to £100,000 at auction.
First unveiled by artist Laura Lian in 2018, the almost 6ft-tall sculpture has become a landmark for fans.
It will be offered as lot 333 as part of a Beatles Collection sale at Omega Auctions, and is expected to fetch between £70,000 and £100,000 when it goes under the hammer on September 29.
A replica will take its place on Penny Lane, and the original will be deep cleaned and repatinated before collection by its new owner.
Omega Auctions director of operations and consignments Dan Muscatelli-Hampson said: “There can be few modern Beatles landmarks in Liverpool that have become so instantly recognisable in such a short space of time.”
