LONDON: Works from the art collection of bestselling US author Michael Crichton will be sold by Christie's in New York in May, the auctioneer said on Friday.
The collection includes "key" works by Pablo Picasso, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and Roy Lichtenstein, and one painting by each artist will go on display at Christie's in London from Feb 6-12.
Although the auctioneer did not give an estimate of the value of the collection to be sold, the four exhibited works alone are expected to fetch around 20 million pounds ($32 million).
