An Artist's Eye at Auction? Jeff Koons Named as the Consignor Behind Christie's $100 Million Masters Offering

Christie's is bringing about $100 million in old master and modern works to auction, and two industry sources speaking to the New York Times say the consignor is Jeff Koons. The house has not confirmed who the seller is and has described the owner only by an honorific. The attribution so far rests on the Times' two unnamed sources. If it holds, collectors will be bidding on a group of pictures chosen by one of the best-known names in American art, with the old and modern traditions offered together.
