- More than 150 masterpieces owned by the late Microsoft cofounder-including works by Botticelli, Cezanne, Seurat, Monet and Hockney-paint a portrait of the billionaire as a passionate collector. Next week they go on the block at Christie’s and will break a record for the most expensive sale of all time.
In a crowded Christie’s auction room in May 2018, Mexican artist Diego Rivera’s 1931 painting The Rivals came to the stage. Commissioned by Abby Aldrich Rockefeller and given as a wedding gift to her son, David, and his new wife, Peggy, in 1941, the work was a small part of the largest auction to date, one that eventually set a record with its $835 million total.
Within a few minutes, The Rivals sold for nearly $9.8 million, a record for a Latin American artist at auction (one eventually shattered by Rivera’s wife, Frida Kahlo, in a $35 million sale in 2021). The new owner, however, a phone bidder, remained a mystery.
Four years later, The Rivals is once again up for sale at Christie’s, alongside more than 150 rare works of art in another groundbreaking auction that sheds light on one of the world’s greatest private collectors: the late Microsoft cofounder-and The Rivals’ mysterious phone bidder-Paul Allen.

Let’s see Paul Allen’s collection
Underrated comment
I can’t believe Bryce prefers Van Patten’s collection to mine
😂😂
Impressive. Very nice. Let's see Marcus Halberstram's art collection.
He has the same taste in art, but Paul Allen has a slightly better collection.
I saw Paul at Dorsia the other night. He had the sea urchin ceviche
Noone goes there anymore
Great painting.... Now lets see Paul Allen's collection
Now let's see paul allen's art auction
What an amazing collection. I used to see him at Portland Trail Blazers games all the time, but had no idea he was such a serious collector - wish I would have talked with him about it!
Wish I was there, what an amazing list of painters 😭😭😭
It is on youtube, enjoy!
Great paintings ...
This man’s taste In art, architecture, real estate, aviation, automobiles, you name it, was unparalleled. He truly had no equal. In regards to the primary purchasers of this unprecedented collection my guess would be Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and Chinese industrialists Zhong Shanshan acquired the bulk of these offerings. The rest being picked up by various museums and heavily endowed non profits. Brilliant! Cheers mates!!
Another Martini Paul?
No can do; got an 8:30 res at Dorsia.
How did you swing that?

TO AMBITIOUS ONES
Sometimes, the hardest thing in life is simply to take the first step. As Neil Armstrong’s famous quote goes: “it’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Just like walking on the moon, you can achieve anything once you get started.
But when it ALL feels a bit overwhelming, drop everything and focus one thing after achieving success with it then attach others.
*hope this save a soul, if yes, I’ve achieved a big success*
I love you ________

Thank you so much.
I remember when the rich donated their collections of art to museums so the people could enjoy them.
Press reports indicate the proceeds will go to charity. The press should follow up to provide specifics.
1billion
After looking at these paintings, how did you think?
Hopefully the money from the sale goes to worthy causes.
Some of these look like a 5th grader painted them
Its a wonder he couldn't buy more time on this earth...
It’s my ridiculous hope that another billionaire will buy the entire collection for a museum , please Elon , PLEASE!
These non skipable ads not the business I'm about to buy your product and light it on fire just cause you pulled this bs
