DiCaprio, Christie’s to hold auction to benefit environment

NEW YORK, May 11:  Actor Leonardo DiCaprio, the star of the new film ‘The Great Gatsby,’ and his foundation have teamed up with Christie’s for a charity auction next week to benefit environmental causes. Thirty-three works, many created for and donated to the auction by some of the world’s top artists, will go under the hammer on Monday in New York at The 11th Hour Auction, which aims to raise as much as 18 million dollar to protect the last wild places on Earth and their endangered species.
