Jeffrey Archer Sale

Claude Monet's ghastly daub La Seine près de Vétheuil temps orageux (1878) is one of the works of art Jeffrey Archer is putting up for auction at Christie's in London on June 28. You remember Jeffrey, don't you? Best-selling author and disgraced ex-MP who did bird for perjury. He recently turned 70 and thinks it's about time he changed his wallpaper. The Monet should fetch around £1m. He expects to raise over £5m ($8m) from the sale.
