The late billionaire philanthropist Edgar M. Bronfman Sr.’s art collection, including paintings by Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet and Henri Matisse, will be sold at auction by Christie’s.
Estimated to bring in more than $34 million, the works will be offered starting with the auction house’s Impressionist and modern art evening sale in New York on May 6, Christie’s said yesterday in a statement. The rest of the 230-item trove, which also includes decorative arts, jewelry and antiquities, will be sold this year in London and Hong Kong as well as New York.
