The pieces are to be sold across Christie’s New York Evening Sales of Impressionist and Modern Art on May 13, and Post-War and Contemporary Art on May 15. Each of the works plays a pivotal role in the development of modern art.

Highlighting the collection is Jeff Koons' famed 1986 sculpture, Rabbit, with an estimated worth between $50 and $70 million. Joining the Koons piece is Andy Warhol’s Death and Disaster Series, Little Electric Chair from 1964 to 1965 ($6 to $8 million), and Cézanne's Bouilloire et Fruits from 1888 to 1890 ($40 million).
