New York--A collection of the late Elizabeth Taylor’s jewelry, fashion, art and memorabilia will form a series of public exhibitions next month, touring numerous countries before culminating with four consecutive days of auctions at Christie’s here.

The Collection of Elizabeth Taylor Exhibition Tour is as follows:

- Moscow: Sept. 15 – 16, GUM, Red Square 3
- London: Sept. 24 – 26, Christie’s, 8 King St., St. James
- Los Angeles: Oct. 13 – 16, venue to be determined
- Dubai: Oct. 23, Jumeirah Emirates Towers
- Geneva: Nov. 11 – 12, Four Seasons Hotel, 33 quai des Bergues
- Paris: Nov. 16 – 17, Christie’s, 9 avenue Matignon
- Hong Kong: Nov. 24 – 27, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center
- New York: Dec. 3 – 12, Christie’s, 20 Rockefeller Plaza

The auction will take place Dec. 13 – 16.

“The global tour and exhibition of Taylor’s collection at Christie’s will be a window into the world of a true icon, a rare woman who was at once an international film and fashion star, loving mother, successful businesswoman and generous humanitarian,” Marc Porter, chairman and president of Christie’s Americas, said.

In keeping with Taylor’s dedication to humanitarian causes, a portion of the proceeds generated by exhibition admissions, events and publications related to the sales will be donated to the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation (ETAF), which was founded in 1991 and provides funding to AIDS service organizations globally.

Taylor died in Los Angeles on March 23, at the age of 79, of congestive heart failure.
