Munich’s art collector Ingvild Goetz and Christie’s London announced on Tuesday that Germany’s largest art collection has consigned 128 artworks for the Post-War and Contemporary Art auctions on February 13-14 and April 17.

Since the 1980s, former art dealer Ingvild Goetz has built up a collection of over 5,000 works, focusing particularly on emerging contemporary artist.

Featuring works by 63 artists including Matthias WeischerWade Guyton, Richard Prince, Christopher Wool and Kelley Walker. The works are estimated to fetch in the range of £3-4.2-million ($4.76-6.66-million). Wool’s work “Mad Cow” (1997) is likely to lead that charge with a high estimate of £900,000 ($1.43 million).

Goetz says that she intends to use the funds generated by sales to further social projects in which she is currently invested. “The current focus of my charitable work is towards those who have no lobby: asylum seekers and those who suffer from eating disorders such as anorexia,” Goetz said in a statement.
