Nearly 200 artworks collected by Patsy and Ray Nasher have taken over the entire sixth floor and part of the 10th floor at the Sotheby's headquarters in New York. They have been on display since Saturday. The works are considered not related to the core mission of the Nasher Sculpture Center and are being sold to build the Dallas museum's endowment.

At tonight's sale, the gavel will fall on the four marquee pieces collected by the Nashers. There are two late Picasso paintings, Le Baiser (The Kiss), 1969, with an estimated sale price of $10 million to $15 million, and L'Atelier, 1961, with an estimate of $6 million to $8 million.

A 1961 Giacometti sculpture is expected fetch from $1 million to $1.5 million, and a 1966 Giacometti is figured at $800,000 to $1.2 million.

But all day Friday, there will be a "single-owner sale" of Nasher pieces that will offer a chance for ordinary mortals to pick up some special works. While there are Jean Dubuffet, Frank Stella and Roy Lichtenstein sculptures for hundreds of thousands, there are also some Robert Motherwell lithographs estimated from $2,000 to $4,000, and Lichtenstein's Salute to Airmail bronze (5 inches high) from $4,000 to $6,000. Interested bidders can contact Sotheby's Dallas associate Eve Reid at 646-387-6765.
