Lauren Bacall's collection fetches USD 3.64 million

Hollywood diva Lauren Bacall's collection of art, jewellery, furniture and clothing, fetched USD 3.64 million at a two-day auction in New York.
A hand-coloured etching of an American white pelican by John James Audubon sold for USD 173,000, three times more than its expected price, according to auction house Bonhams, reported BBC News.
A granite games table from the home she shared in Los Angeles with Humphrey Bogart sold for USD 26,250.
Bacall, who starred in films like "To Have and Have Not", "The Big Sleep" and "How to Marry a Millionaire", died in August at the age of 89.

Proceeds from the auction will go to Bacall's three children, Stephen and Leslie, the son and daughter she had with Bogart, and Sam, the son she had with second husband Jason Robards.
Bacall's Tiffany necklace, a brass Japanese tea set, Indian miniatures and sculptures by Sir Henry Moore were among other lots to be sold on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Bonhams' vice president Jon King said the "extremely personal" collection "truly reflected Bacall's formidable collecting sense and uniquely intuitive style".
