Alain Delon: works of art at auction

The actor Alain Delon will disperse part of his collection of works of art at auction on June 22: no less than 81 works will be sold by Bonhams Cornette de Saint-Cyr. Among the treasures of this collection, paintings by Eugène Delacroix, Raoul Dufy, drawings by Jean-François Millet and Théodore Géricault,

The amount of this sale is estimated at approximately 4 million Euros. But the auctions could exceed this forecast, with the "Delon" effect which would add the interest of the works with the celebrity of their owner.
