Lehman to Look to Unload Over 400 Artworks
The fall of Lehman Brothers in 2008 is considered by many to have triggered one of the worst economic declines since the Great Depression.
You can now own a piece of this regrettable history as Sotheby's looks to auction off over 400 works that once dotted the hallways of the famous investment house.
The auction, which is scheduled to occur on September 25, 2010, is expected to fetch more than $10 million, reported the Wall Street Journal. On Tuesday, June 15, 2010, Judge Peck of the United States Bankruptcy Court is anticipated to hear the application to put the works up at auction.
The WSJ article reports that:
"Included among the artwork is a piece from Mr. Hirst's "We've Got Style" series of cabinet sculptures and Mr. Warhol's "Young Woman With Halo of Birds," as well works by Maya Lin, Claes Oldenburg and Robert Rauschenberg."
