<p>Artworks valued at more than £100 million, including a Gauguin which has been unseen for 15 years, have gone on display ahead of their sale next week.</p>
<p>Paintings by Magritte and Picasso, as well as a pastel by Degas &#8211; each with a multimillion-pound estimate &#8211; are also being exhibited.</p>
<p>They will go under the hammer at the first major art auction of the year &#8211; Christie&#8217;s Impressionist and Modern sale in London on February 9 and 10.</p>
<p>Gauguin&#8217;s Nature Morte A L&#8217;Esperance has the highest estimate in the sale, expected to fetch between £7 million and £10 million.</p>
<p>It was painted in 1901 and shown at the artist&#8217;s first landmark Retrospective in 1906.</p>
<p>Other notable works include Sur L&#8217;Imperiale Traversant La Seine by Picasso &#8211; again from 1901 and expected to fetch up to £3 million.</p>
<p>Together the works have a pre-sale estimate of up to £130.9 million and are being shown at Christie&#8217;s in London&#8217;s King Street until Wednesday.</p>
<p>The sale follows a record-breaking year for Christie&#8217;s in 2010, which saw annual sales of £3.3 billion &#8211; a new high.</p>
