Taylor's possessions will be sold in a series of sales, Details and the timing of the sales will be announced at a later date, it said.
Stephen Lash, chairman emeritus of Christie's Americas, and Marc Porter, chairman of Christie's Americas worked with Taylor and her family "over the past two decades, and are most honored to have been entrusted with collection of this world renowned film legend, humanitarian and taste maker," said the statement.

Elizabert Taylor was the barometer by which beauty was measured for over half of the last century! Beauty, talent, popularity & fame, wealth, and a life filled with experience and activity. We will miss her greatly! It would be a great honor to be able to purchase part of her estate. Perhaps this idea is not too “classie” but ikons are ideed remembered in this manner. We wish Christies success in their sales. Monty Weddell Thee Art Gallery Dallas, TX
