Picasso Collection Donated to the British Museum

Many of the pictures, produced during a "critical period in Picasso's career", show the artist's 17-year-old muse and model, who was also his lover. Others show his studio, where Picasso was creating new sculptures. Read more:

Dennis Hopper's art collection more than 10 million

The "Easy Rider" star, who died in May, was a collector as well as a painter and photographer himself. 40 pieces of art he owned, including works by Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, fetched more than $10 million, almost double the minimum estimate. Hopper's oldest daughter, Marin, and her co-executor, writer Alex Hitz, celebrated at Swifty's on Lexington Avenue with investor Richard Turley.
