Conjunto constituído pelos dois catálogos do leilão da Colecção Champalimaud, organizado pela casa Christie’s, de Londres. Do press release elaborado na ocasião, registamos: Christie’s will present The Champalimaud Collection for sale in London on 6 and 7 July 2005. In contrast to his immensely distinguished public life as a financier and entrepreneur of international stature, as well as a munificent philanthropist and benefactor to Portugal, Antonio Champalimaud’s collection was a very personal quest, created for the enjoyment of his family and those close to him. The collection is expected to fetch in the region of £15 million, with proceeds to go primarily to a Medical Foundation that Mr Champalimaud set up for the nation. O total alcançado pelos 227 lotes, ultrapassou os 42 milhões de libras estrelinas, quase três vezes o valor estimado. Catálogos como novos, acondicionados em caixa rígida, do editor.
