The Collection of Elizabeth Taylor Exhibition Tour Worldwide
Event Date: 5 September - 12 December 2011
In celebration of the extraordinary life and legacy of Elizabeth Taylor, Christie’s is honored to open the window into the public and private world of a true icon. Elizabeth Taylor played many roles in her time: international film and fashion star, loving mother, successful businesswoman and brave and generous humanitarian. Miss Taylor’s collection of her cherished and fabulous jewels, fashion, art, decorative arts and memorabilia will form a landmark series of public exhibitions and special events culminating in four consecutive days of sales which will make auction history. For this pivotal event, slated for December 3 to December 16, 2011, Christie's New York will devote its Rockefeller Center gallery space to the public exhibition and sales.
In keeping with Elizabeth Taylor’s life-long devotion to humanitarian causes, Christie’s is pleased to announce that a portion of the monies generated by exhibition admissions, events and publications related to the sales will be donated to The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation (ETAF). Founded in l991, ETAF provides funding to AIDS service organizations throughout the world to assist those living with HIV and AIDS.
