A rare set of etchings by Norfolk 'pop' artist Colin Self are set to go under the hammer this week alongside works by distinguished East Anglian landscape artists in an auction of nearly 1,400 paintings, antiques and collectables.

The three-day Fine Sale at Aylsham-based Keys Fine Art Auctioneers is expected to attract interest from bidders around the world.

The 39 signed etchings make up Colin Self's Odyssey/Iliad Suite re-telling Homer's classical story using contemporary imagery and themes.

It is believed to be the first time the complete set of etchings by Mr Self, who lives and works in Norwich, have been sold together.

Other highlights of the sale, which starts tomorrow (Tuesday), are:
