Capital gains at art extravaganza

Hundreds of millions of pounds worth of art will come under the hammer.
Christie’s, which has just announced their highest ever total of £4.5 billion global sales for 2013, says it will present the most valuable series of exhibitions and auctions dedicated to impressionist and modern; surreal; post-war and contemporary art ever held in London. They will offer major works by Picasso, Bacon and Jeff Koons, whose work is the world’s most expensive by a living artist.
