The collection includes pieces by Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin and Sarah Lucas, and has been cited as "a portrait of Britain in the 1990s" by contemporary art expert Christan Albu. Hirst, Emin and Lucas are known as part of the "Young British Artists" generation who shook up Britain's art scene in the Eighties and Nineties, in the same way that Michael did for the UK music landscape. "The collection reflects his dedication to cutting-edge creativity as well as his instinctive and long-held willingness to support young, emerging artistic talent," the Christie's website reads.
