Christie’s is collaborating with actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his Leonardo DiCaprio Foundationfor a major philanthropic auction. The event is expected to bring in $15 to $20 million dollars, all going towards what a leaked promotional item describes as “compelling environmental projects selected by [the foundation] and Christie’s.” Apparently the auction is scheduled for May 8 and will feature works by Mark Grotjahn, Carol Bove, John Currin, Elizabeth Peyton, and other artists.
