Baku, March 17, AZERTAC
Contemporary artworks owned by George Michael have sold for £11.3m at an auction, 27 months after his death, according to BBC news.
They included pieces by Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst. The highest price was for The Incomplete Truth, a 2006 Hirst work consisting of a dove preserved in formaldehyde, which sold for £911,250.
The 53-year-old was a keen collector of works by the Young British Art movement and was friends with many artists.
The money raised will go to causes that the philanthropic star supported.
