Christie's will auction Charles Saatchi's largest sculptures and installations on October 17 in London.

The auction features 50 of the art collector and advertising mogul's works, including a four-poster bed with appliqued hangings from Tracey Emin. All works are being offered without reserves or estimates.
The news comes amid Saatchi's high profile divorce from TV chef Nigella Lawson, yet Philippa Adams, senior director of the Saatchi Gallery, told the Guardian newspaper that the sale has "absolutely nothing to do with the divorce," adding: "We have been working on this for a long time."
The auction will coincide with this year's Frieze art fair. Included are works from Isa Genzken, Berlinde de Bruyckere, Karla Black and David Altmejd, all of who have recently starred in the Venice Biennale.
