Works from the art collection of billionaire David Rockefeller,
which includes paintings by Pablo Picasso and Claude Monet, fetched more than
$646m (£476m) on the first night at auction.
Mr Rockefeller, who died in March 2017 aged 101, amassed a huge
collection of paintings, furniture, ceramics and decor throughout his colourful
life.
Much of it is being auctioned off at Christie's in New York in a
three-day sale.
The first night of the auction broke the record for a private art
collection, with the proceeds going to charities the philanthropist supported
in his lifetime.
Take a look below to see how much some
of the different works sold for.
