A collection of Joan Miro works held by the Portuguese government was pulled from auction following a dispute in the country over the sale.

Christie’s International said it canceled the sale of 85 paintings, drawings, sculptures and collages even though a court in Lisbon rejected an attempt to block it. The auction was scheduled to take place in London today and tomorrow.
