Written by News on 09/05/2018
Works from the art collection of billionaire David Rockefeller, which includes paintings by Pablo Picasso and Claude Monet, fetched more than $646m (£476m) on the first night at auction.
Mr Rockefeller, who died in March 2017 aged 101, amassed a huge collection of paintings, furniture, ceramics and decor throughout his colourful life.
Much of it is being auctioned off at Christie’s in New York in a three-day sale.
The first night of the auction broke the record for a private art collection, with the proceeds going to charities the philanthropist supported in his lifetime.
Take a look below to see how much some of the different works sold for.
