Christie’s has secured Impressionist art collection of oilman Edwin L. Cox and will offer it in a November sale. According to the Dallas Morning News, the auction house thinks Cox’s art could bring in $200 million, with Gustave Caillebotte’s 1875 Jeune Homme à Sa Fenêtre potentially going for more than $50 million. Major pieces by Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Cézanne will also be available. Stephane Connery, the Cox estate’s art adviser stated that many pieces had not been seen publicly since before World War II. Some proceeds will go toward philanthropy.
