Art lovers and fans of the late George Michael will have the chance to buy one of his many impressive artworks in a unique auction next month. Christie's has confirmed that the proceeds of the auction will be going to good causes, though it is not yet known exactly which organizations will benefit. Jussi Pylkkänen, global president of Christie's, said in a statement on the company's website: "We are delighted to be organizing this major auction of The Collection of George Michael to allow his philanthropic work to continue. "George Michael was a much-admired creative genius of the music industry and the viewing of over 200 works of art from the private collection will provide a fascinating insight into the broader tastes of a man who was deeply admired all over the world." According to Christie's, the collection "represents a unique dialogue between a great British music artist and his contemporaries in the visual arts."
