Clive Davis, the veteran music industry executive, is sending his private art collection to auction, with Andy Warhol's portrait of Aretha Franklin standing as the sale's leading lot. The auction is going through Christie's, marking a rare public dispersal of works Davis had held as part of his personal collection. The Warhol portrait, capturing the Queen of Soul, is expected to be the collection's most closely watched piece when the works come to market.
