<p>Post-war art and pieces from young contemporary artists, specially commissioned for the staircase at the couple’s former home, will also be part of the sale.</p>
<p>Andy Waters of Christie’s London said: “Having been entrusted with many of the greatest private collections assembled by some of the most notable figures throughout history, Christie’s is honoured to be offering for sale works from the art collection of Sting and Trudie Styler. Their home at Queen Anne’s Gate effortlessly combined luxury, rarity and colour – a skilful balance that created the ultimate London home.</p>

<p>“Each work of art was carefully chosen and the resulting collection is a testament to Sting and Trudie Styler’s informed eye for art and design. Alongside works by Matisse, Picasso, Mapplethorpe and Nicholson, the collection includes Sting’s Steinway piano, which occupied pride of place in the music room at Queen Anne’s Gate.”</p>
<p>The couple, who have been married for 23 years and have four children, are creating a new home in the Battersea power station development.</p>
