Western art collected by T. Boone Pickens offered at auction
DALLAS โ Works of art depicting the American West and other pieces collected by the late Texas oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens are expected to sell at auction for more than $15 million. Christie's said Thursday that the auction will be held Oct. 28 in New York. Pickens, who grew up in Holdenville, Oklahoma, died last Sept. 11 at the age of 91 at his Dallas home. The house is now at Karsten Creek Golf Club, which is the home of Oklahoma State's golf teams. Pickens, who donated more than half a billion dollars to the university, is buried outside his childhood bedroom window.
