The estate of the late opera star Beverly Sills will be auctioned off next week.

The collection includes more than 460 lots of fine art, furniture, decorations, jewelry, opera memorabilia, and more.

A public exhibition of the lots will take place Friday through Tuesday at the Doyle New York Auction House on East 87th Street in Manhattan.

The auction begins Wednesday at 10 a.m.

The most expensive item is a drawing by Fernando Botero, which is expected to fetch between $20,000 and $30,000.

Sills died two years ago at the age of 78.
