"The tranche of 35 to 40 works includes paintings by Jackson Pollock, Pablo Picasso, and Jasper Johns, as well as a Constantin Brancusi sculpture, according to dealers. The house has valued it at a whopping $450 million. The trophies are coming up as demand for ultra-exclusive artworks is growing."
