Four pieces from the collection of late Michael Crichton, the mega-selling thriller writer behind 'Jurassic Park', and TV series "ER," and a passionate art collector went on display in London before being auctioned by Christie's auction house in New York on May 11. The sale also includes works by Robert Rauschenberg and the auction house is valuing them collectively at 20 million British pounds ($32 million dollars). (AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis)
