A collection of Western art from the estate of Ted Turner, the media mogul who died in May, is set to be auctioned by Christie's in New York on January 20. The proceeds will benefit the Turner Foundation, which aims to protect and restore natural systems. The collection includes works by American masters Albert Bierstadt and Thomas Moran, depicting landscapes of the early American West. Turner's son, Teddy Turner, described his father as a person who sought perfection in everything he surrounded himself with, including the art he collected. The auction will feature notable pieces such as Bierstadt's 'Yosemite Valley' and Moran's 'The Inner Gorge, Grand Canyon', both with high estimates of $6 million.
