HORNE’S BELONGINGS UP FOR AUCTION
A treasure trove of LENA HORNE’s belongings will go up for auction on Wednesday (23Feb11), giving fans a chance to own the singer’s clothes and fine art.
More than 200 items that filled the jazz star’s Manhattan apartment are going under the hammer at the Doyle New York auction house.
The lots include an abstract painting by artist Charles Alston, which is expected to fetch as much as $50,000 (£33,000), and a Rococo-style chandelier, which could bring in $2,500 (£1,600).
Jewellery, books, gowns and a mink coat by Horne’s favorite designer, Giorgio di Sant’ Angelo, are also up for grabs, according to the Associated Press.
The Stormy Weather hitmaker died in May (10) at the age of 92.
