The private art and furniture collection of the famed architect and designer of Sydney Opera House Jørn Utzon is going under the hammer at Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers in Copenhagen in June.

Built upon Utzon's refined taste and close personal relationships to many renowned artists and designers, the Dane's collection includes pieces from the likes of Le Corbusier, Georges Braque, Fernand Léger, Henri Laurens, Pablo Picasso, Asger Jorn, and Alvar Aalto.

The highlight of the collection is doubtlessly a tapestry by Le Corbusier titled "Les dés sont jetés" (the dice is cast) (1960) which Le Corbusier created when the pair collaborated on the decoration of the Sydney Opera House.
