Hong Kong : A collection of French artist Claude Monet’s personal belongings, including a pair of round-rimmed wire spectacles, have fetched almost $11 million at an auction in Hong Kong, Christie’s said. The dainty glasses, made from gold-coloured metal, went to an unnamed Asian buyer on Sunday for $51,457, far exceeding the auction house’s estimate of $1,000 to $1,500.
