Art enthusiasts await some social events as much as they wait important exhibitions, such as Christie’s announcement of auctioning the memorabilia of French fashion designer Hubert de Givenchy, who was fond of collecting rare paintings and sculptures.

With a unique collection featuring over 1,000 pieces, the auction, which will be held over several days in June, is expected to lure museum collectors and managers.
