Donald Marron’s $450 M. Collection May Head to Auction: Report

Are the world’s top auction houses themselves bidding for art? That appears to be the case this week, as the heirs of Donald B. Marron, the financier and longtime ARTnews Top 200 Collector who died in December, have reportedly asked the major houses to submit proposals for the right to sell works from his esteemed collection of modern and contemporary art. Katya Kazakina of Bloomberg first reported the news on Tuesday.
According to Bloomberg, the collection has been valued at $450 million.
