Now it is not easy to find a collector willing to part with his collection: the art market is in recession, and global uncertainty is growing, which makes many people postpone such decisions. However, Christie's is lucky - the auction house has agreed to sell the impressive collection of the late Leonard Riggio, former largest shareholder of the Barnes & Noble chain, who passed away six months ago. The auction is scheduled for May.

The full list of lots has not yet been revealed, but key works are already known. Among them are paintings by Piet Mondrian, René Magritte (two works) and Pablo Picasso, as well as a sculpture by Alberto Giacometti. The total value of the collection is estimated at $200 million, and experts are already calling the upcoming auction “the sale of the year”.
