LARGEST ART AUCTION TO SELL MICROSOFT CO-FOUNDER'S $1BN COLLECTION

The late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's art is expected to fetch $1 billion (£847 million) at the world's largest art auction.

Christie's auction house announced that the proceeds of the November sale would be donated to charity, as Mr Allen requested.

Botticelli, Renoir, David Hockney, and Roy Lichtenstein all have works in the collection.

Mr Allen, who co-founded Microsoft with his childhood friend Bill Gates in 1975, died in 2018 at the age of 65.

The auction will feature 150 works of art dating back 500 years.

La Montagne Sainte-Victoire by French painter Paul Cezanne, valued at more than $100 million (£85 million), will be among the works on display.
